Career Management

Careers in Focus: Occasional Series

This series of occasional talks will focus on particular professional sectors (for example, not-for-profit, NHS, heritage, government). Sessions will examine the different aspects of working in the selected area and how the skills developed through research can be applied to that context. Speakers from a range of employers will talk about the types of professional role that exist within their organisations.

The events will provide insight into career paths and entry methods and there will be an opportunity to ask questions. The talks will be of interest to researchers in all disciplines. The sessions will:

• increase awareness of employment opportunities within a particular sector;
• provide information on how to find appropriate jobs;
• offer insights into what employers are looking for (including preferred qualifications/experience); 
• provide guidance on the place of volunteering as preparation for moving into one of these sectors.
