Narrative CVs
Many funders are now looking for Narrative CV's - a move away from the metrics-based CVs that are primarily publication lists with employment and education history with little context to tell the story of your impact and prompts written descriptions of contributions and achievements that reflect a broad range of skills and experiences.
In this short session, Ashling Hayes, Head Research Services Glucksman Library will cover what information you need to provide and how to structure the information and how to check the requirements of your specific funder or potential employer as their requirements (and narrative CV formats) may differ.
