How to look for jobs in industry, develop your CV, job search strategy and interview preparation
Open to post-doctoral researchers from Medical Sciences
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.
