This mini-workshop is part of the HUGS 2021 Summer School in nuclear physics.
Our goal is to offer graduate students a perspective on academic and non-academic careers, including two hands-on sessions with practical advice on resume and CV writing. To participate in the mock interview session, you however need to send an application package. We will provide details about the mock interviews and application package deadline soon!
For questions contact Arun, Astrid or Juan.

Mock Job Interviews
In order to participate in the mock job interviews, please apply to one of the mock jobs that will be advertised soon.
Application procedure
Applicants should send the application material mentioned in the job ad (typically a CV or resume, and a cover letter) in PDF format to the provided link on google drive or send the applications to Arun Tadepalli.
