Erin Krupka
Dear community,
I am very excited to announce that at this year's ESA 2025 North American Meeting, in Tucson, as part of the mentoring program, I will be hosting a Talk about CVs and a CV feedback clinic for junior colleagues as well as for colleagues interested in exploring transitions into higher education leadership and administration!
Wait! There will be a talk about CVs and I can get feedback on my CV? Yes and yes! Read more to learn more about these events or go to the conference web page:
Talk: "All about CVs: what it is used for in the job market, promotion, and tenure process.” (Open to all faculty levels, post-doc, PhDs)
When and where: 4:30 - 5:30pm on Thursday in the Cholla room
Talk description:
A well-crafted CV is a critical tool for success in the
economics job market, as well as for promotion and tenure reviews. In this
session, Erin Krupka (ESA Mentoring Director) and two academic HR Professionals
from The University of Michigan School of Information, Bailey Oland and Brian
Schmidt, will discuss what makes an effective CV, how it is evaluated by hiring
committees, promotion panels, and funding bodies, and the common pitfalls to
avoid. We will explore how to present your full professional trajectory with
precision and clarity, how to tailor your CV for specific purposes without
losing its core integrity, and the differences between CVs for early-career and
senior economists. Erin, Bailey and Brian, who regularly prepare and handle CVs
for the Provost’s office, will share their advice and address questions from
both a faculty and HR perspective.
There will be two CV Clinics that you can sign up for!
Location and times TBA
Event description:
Following the talk, and throughout the conference, we will host two CV Clinics, where participants can receive one-on-one feedback on their CVs from both senior faculty and HR professionals. This is an opportunity to get constructive, targeted advice to help you make your CV as strong as possible! If would like to participate in the CV Clinic, please sign up below:
