On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Your Career Development Review (CDR) is more than a procedural check-in, it’s an opportunity to take stock, plan ahead, and align your professional development with your broader career goals.
This session will help you approach your next CDR with clarity and purpose. We’ll explore: – Preparing for your CDR: how to reflect on achievements, identify development priorities, and gather meaningful evidence.
- How the Careers Service can help: tailored support for researchers, including individual consultations and targeted resources.
- Using narrative CVs as a development tool: how to evaluate your contributions and progression across research, teaching, service, and leadership using the narrative CV model, increasingly recognised by funders and institutions, to inform your career development activities and priorities.
By the end of the session, you’ll have structured ways to think about your professional story and clear insight into the resources available to support your development, ready to make your next CDR a constructive and forward-looking conversation.
