Definitely! Especially for graduate programs, presentations can be a valuable addition. They showcase your communication skills, research abilities, and your ability to present complex information.

Yeah, my friend who’s at a university in California said they look for students who can effectively communicate their ideas. It shows you’re not just academically strong, but also can share your knowledge.

Okay, that makes sense. But what’s the proper way to list them? I don’t want to make my CV look cluttered.

You should create a separate section, maybe titled “Presentations” or “Presentations and Speaking Engagements.” List them in reverse chronological order, meaning your most recent presentations should be at the top.

And make sure you include the title of the presentation, the name of the conference or event, the location, and the date.
