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
Do you plan to apply for job roles beyond academia?
There is lots to think about from optimising your CV, researching roles and organisations, networking effectively and preparing yourself for interviews.
This workshop will outline the key building blocks of a CV structured for careers outside of academia. CVs are read very quickly (think seconds!). Creating a strong CV that conveys your fit for industry roles is crucial for progressing to the interview stage. We will share examples to help with formatting, language and translating your research skills and experience for an industry audience so that you can apply them to crafting your own winning CV. We will also touch on guidance for job fairs (how to prepare for these in advance – i.e. CV/ research company) and how to prepare for interviews.
If you’d like to attend this workshop for post-doctoral researchers, please register your interest via the link below by 17 October. Priority will be given to post-doctoral researchers working with industry.
