New job or direction in mind? Do you want to brush up on the practicalities of preparing for interviews and presentations? If so, this workshop, designed for University research staff and DPhil students, is for you.

A highly interactive session, it will equip you with the skills to play the ‘recruitment game’ to best effect. We will discuss and practice the skills required for effective performance at interview; preparation, self-presentation and how to deal with typical interview questions. You will gain insights into good interview or presentation techniques by both giving and receiving feedback from your peers.

The workshop will cover the skills required for both academic and non-academic presentation and interviews, with particular focus on the latter. Follow up one-to-one career discussions can then be used to prepare for specific interviews.
