Salon – Writing your Narrative CV
November 20 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
A weekly gathering to discuss careers and research topics, inspired by 17th and 18th century salons from Paris, with a modern twist. These sessions combine livestreams, guest speakers and group chat to exchange ideas, challenge, influence, inspire and educate.
In this session we talk about Writing your Narrative CV.
How can the way you tell your professional story transform your career trajectory? In the Salon, we explore the art of crafting a narrative CV. Moving beyond the standard list of roles and dates, a narrative CV allows you to showcase your achievements, skills, and growth through compelling storytelling – it is also something that many research funders are now demanding. Discover how this approach can highlight the impact of your work, convey your passion for dementia research, and differentiate you in a competitive field. Listen to our speakers, chat, debate, share your experiences and explore how a well-crafted narrative can open doors and create new opportunities in your professional journey.
