The SOT Career Advancement, Mentoring, and Networking (CAMAN) Committee is launching a series of webinars focusing on strategies to enhance a CV to support members in career transition. The first online session, “Effective CV Development: Industry,” will be held on Friday, February 13, 2026, 12:00 noon–1:00 pm (US EST, UTC -5). This webinar series clarifies what hiring managers scan for and how to translate academic, government, or early career experience into impactful CVs. Topics include page length and structure, applicant tracking system (ATS)–aware keywords, formatting standards, quantifying achievements, and common pitfalls to avoid. Presenters will demonstrate a template, a checklist, and adaptable examples. The session concludes with participant Q&A.
