Graduate Student Career Pathways: Cover Letters and Resumes for Internships and Positions Beyond the Tenure Track

This workshop will meet the needs of those applying for Rackham internship programs, but is open to any graduate students seeking guidance around cover letters and resumes for positions beyond tenure track roles.

The process of synthesizing your academic experiences into strong application materials for jobs beyond academia can be challenging but rewarding. This workshop is a hands-on opportunity for graduate students to learn how to effectively develop a resume using the foundation that they have laid with information from their CV. Additionally, this session will include strategies for writing compelling, tailored cover letters and thinking strategically about how these two documents complement each other.

This workshop is designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact RackhamEvents@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.
