How does your CV look? Do you even have a CV? Do you know the differences between a CV and a resume? Or maybe you need to work on your cover letter. If this is you, plan on joining the Special Libraries Interest Group <https://www.cla-net.org/page/957> on *October 19th at 11am *when Rachel Keiko Stark, MS, AHIP, Health Sciences Librarian at Sacramento State, presents *First Steps Towards Academic Employment – Crafting a CV and Cover Letter <https://www.cla-net.org/events/register.aspx?id=1424508>*. In this interactive workshop, high quality CVs and Cover Letters will be presented and examined, and tips and suggestions on how to craft a CV and Cover letter will be provided and is designed for both new librarians and librarians interested in moving into academic librarianship. This workshop will start with finding vacancy announcements, move towards crafting an appropriate and impactful cover letter and CV, and end with what to expect for next steps if a candidate is successful in obtaining their initial interview. There will be some time at the end for questions, however this will not be a workshop to provide personalized assistance. This workshop also benefits those who have responsibilities for hiring, as the more people who know how to write high quality application materials makes hiring people a more pleasant process. *Click here to register: **First Steps Towards Academic Employment – Crafting a CV and Cover Letter * <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.cla-net.org/events/register.aspx?id=1424508__;!!BZ50a36bapWJ!6coGKA-zseasb1FUNYlfVCb_6oqMWw8HaEQpdyTRMk37eNC2z975vbCcIKA9I_klUhI6$> *If you have difficulty with this link*, please visit the *Spring Fling Fall Edition page* <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.cla-net.org/page/SpringFling2020__;!!BZ50a36bapWJ!6coGKA-zseasb1FUNYlfVCb_6oqMWw8HaEQpdyTRMk37eNC2z975vbCcIKA9I34Uv3tD$> and click on the program name to register.
