The effort to convert humanities experience into language that reinstates beyond the academy continues. Jared Redick of The Resume Studio in San Francisco joins UCHRI in his ongoing journey to help humanities PhDs and post-docs unravel complex matters related to converting an academic CV into a commercially-useful resume. Join the conversation whether you’re new to Jared’s methodologies, in the midst of your own career inflection, or happily on the other side of your job search.

Candid conversations videos and the subsequent panel discussion at Humanists@Work Los Angeles provide opportunities to engage in open dialogue about the faculty-graduate student mentorship model, particularly as it relates to career training for diverse professions.
Authentic networking is built on an exchange that is not transactional, and instead built upon engagements where we come into contact with one another with a desire to learn about, and share, expertise and interests.
