PD Sessions @ Zoom #7: Writing a strong job application for the research administration sector
PD Session @ Zoom #7:
Writing a strong job application for the research administration sector.
Wednesday 26 August 12PM - 1PM AEST
Presenters: Dr Regina Magierowski
Facilitated by: Dr Amy Harington and Ms Lorraine Ingham, University of Tasmania
How can you convince a panel that you are capable, efficient, and dynamic using a colourless, justified Word template and a Times New Roman font? You can’t, I say!
It’s time to throw out those so-called rules for writing a job application and make your job application reflect who you really are…
• If you are dynamic and love a challenge then throw in some colour!
• If you are an excellent communicator try getting your CV on to 1 page (hint use columns)!
• If you have years of experience, then show them what you have learnt!
The reality is that most research managers are time poor, so long job applications with lengthy descriptions of past experiences without context or formatting are not always welcomed or even read. Your application needs to get you the interview - not tell your life story.
CPD: Accredited members (ARMAs and ARMFs) will automatically accrue 1 CPD hour per session.
