The ATLAS Early Career Scientist Board , Fernando Antonio Flor (University of Houston (US)), for the Junior Community in ALICE, Olaf Steinkamp (Universitaet Zuerich (CH)), for the LHCb Early Career, Gender and Diversity Office , Tamas Almos Vami (Johns Hopkins University (US)), for the CMS Young Scientists Committee

The early career / young scientists fora of the four large LHC experiments have joined forces to organize a cycle of soft skills workshops, where each event will focus on career development training aspects (CV writing, grant writing, importance of networking, career paths, negotiations for a new job, interview preparation, etc).

The second of these workshops will take place on June 3, starting at 17:00 CEST, and will be dedicated to CV writing. We plan to touch on aspects of CV writing for academia as well as for industry, and the differences between the two. Given the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the event is going to be online only.

We will start with a presentation by two experienced recruiters (Muriel Colson and Rocio Alot), followed by a round table discussion with invited panelists and a Q&A session with open questions from all participants.
