Narrative CVs: promote yourself

Training in written communication

The evaluation of researchers is no longer limited to their publication record and journal-based metrics. Now, funding organisations and recruiters wish to know more about the profiles of researchers, their range of skills and professional experiences. Indeed, through the use of narrative CVs, scientists are revealed in a new light.
Which type of content is expected in a narrative CV? How can you summarize and adapt your statements to fill in the modules? What is storytelling and how can it help you? And finally, how can you streamline your writing style in English? This training course will help you to answer these questions and to make progress on your own narrative CV.
