The Key to an Effective Resume: Workshop for (soon to be) Ex-Academics
The task of reworking your CV as a resumé is already somewhere between daunting and demoralizing, but here in our brave new hiring era, you have to also design one that that will actually make it past the screening software, info@email purgatory, and HR interns and into the hands of someone who can actually offer you an interview. While I have helped lots of clients rework their CVs as resumés and vice versa, there is one change that you can make that will do a lot of the heavy lifting for you: the summary section.
You might recall the “objective section” of old, that your parents used to put at the tops of their resumes. It would say something like “My objective is to get a job with [a company like this one].” It’s not too surprising that objective lines fell out of favor. However, the baby that got thrown out with the objectives bathwater was that these sections could help the HR sorter to see what job the applicant was applying for and get the resumé into the correct pile.
The good news is that the summary section can serve that function as well as a few more.
A well-written summary:
- Gives readers a sneak peak at the content
- Helps HR-intern type gatekeepers match your resumé to the job description
- Improves the match rate with screening software
- Is easy to customize for specific jobs
- Can make content look more cohesive

In this webinar, I will cover some hard (and soft) truths about pivoting out of academia. I will cover common pitfalls as one pivots careers and how to avoid them. I will then discuss how to rediscover one’s values and redefine one’s purpose in future careers to ensure impact and legacy, with less stress.
About me: The longer I was in academia (20 years), the less I could keep quiet about injustices… That put me on people’s radars, especially when I became a representative in the union, championing EDI and antiracism. I’m a career coach and consultant focusing on decolonization of school curricula and creating social enterprise projects that help young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and subjected to structural vulnerabilities to thrive.
