Do you regularly review, plan and develop your career? Perhaps you're in the final year of your PhD, just starting out in research or considering another fixed-term post? Whatever your situation, planning and managing your career is worth making time for.
If you don't know where to start, join us on the 18 January at 2pm (UK Time) to explore career options for researchers and make sure your professional development planning becomes a successful life-changing habit rather tha...n something you only consider once every few years.
Career opportunities for researchers cover a wide range of sectors including higher education; manufacturing; finance; business and IT; health; and public administration. Recent trends demonstrate that most researchers will go on to pursue a career beyond academic research or teaching. So how do you decide which career to embrace? How do you find out which career would suit your strengths, values and interests? Finally, how do you plan to make that happen?
Join us for FREE on the 18 January 2017 to explore the following questions:
• How do you realise what strengths and talents you have? • What kinds of career paths do researchers follow? • How do you make a career development plan? • Which qualifications and experience are required for various careers?
The YouTube stream will be available from our website. Register/Log in for FREE at this address to watch: https://goo.gl/LbyBPo
