Translating Academic Research Experience for Non-Academic Employers: for Research Staff

OxTalks is Changing

OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).

In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.

If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk

Translating Academic Research Experience for Non-Academic Employers: for Research Staff

Your research career has equipped you with experience and employability skills of great value to sectors beyond academia – but how do we translate these into strong job applications?

This session will focus on applications for positions beyond academia only.

Session objectives:

Provide an overview of the desired employability skills sought by employers outside of academia
Introduce tools and exercises for identifying your existing skills and experience
Demonstrate examples of how to translate research experience into language for job applications outside of academia e.g. for CVs, covers letters, interviews
