Not everyone chooses to climb the academic ladder and many researchers are unaware of the variety of other options that are available.    During their career, researchers develop a number of skills that they can utilise in a variety of other positions, whether these are related to their research or not. A key component to finding a job outside academia is presenting yourself well at interviews, highlighting your skills and explaining your academic experience in a way that appeals to certain employers. 

This has proven very popular with researchers and it is designed to help them reflect on their own skills and experience so that they can communicate these effectively in written applications and interviews.  This workshop aims to highlight a number of these careers and to explore what particular options might be compatible with individuals.
