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
Creating CVs for careers beyond academia (for researchers)
Are you wanting to apply for job roles beyond academia? Creating a strong CV is vital to unlocking the next stage of the job application process. However, there can be many differences in the format and content of a CV focused towards a role beyond academia compared to one for university research positions.
This online session will outline the key building blocks of a CV structured for careers outside of academia research, share examples to help with formatting and language, and briefly guide on how best translate your research skills and experience.
This session will focus on application materials for roles beyond academia only.
Workshop objectives:
Provide an overview of the variation in CV formats for job roles beyond academia
Provide tips for visually formatting your CV to best communicate your experience
Share methods for identifying the language and skills employers wants to see
This event is open to Research staff and DPhil students.
