I have a more general question on CVs:
I've always held to the school of thought that you should highlight the things that are most relevant for what you're applying for, and basically leave other stuff out - or refer to eg LinkedIn. I've done quite a lot across different areas, and this now leaves me readjusting my CV constantly! I'm also not necessarily sure I'm cutting the 'right' stuff - how do I know if the hiring team are actually interested in something I've done but they haven't put it in the job ad as a requirement... A friend recently told me they were advised to condense the white space on their CV and add more content to it. What are your thoughts on this?
I am interested to know more about this:
'I think the importance of character is seriously neglected in EA circles. Perhaps one reason is that unlike many other areas, we don’t have comparative advantage when it comes to identifying virtues. This means that we should draw on the accumulated wisdom as a starting point.'
I'm interested in your perspective on how the hiring process for EA organisations differs from other organisations - and perhaps advice for what to expect and try to showcase from one's background for people who are transitioning from something more mainstream.
