While the merits of your work are of utmost importance in the job search process, the presentation of your application package matters. You will increase your chances of getting noticed in the early stages of applicant screening if you come across on paper as professional and savvy about the academic world. Your application materials should be impeccably presented, error-free, concise yet thorough, and should send the strong message that you are a “job ready” professional. GSAS Career Services offers programs every semester on preparing CVs and cover letters. Check our Current Events for a schedule of upcoming programs.
