Overview:

You may be wondering what other jobs are out there, but success in the job market is not based on your knowledge of jobs, but how well you know yourself! This session will help you to explore academic and non-academic options, and signal potential ways forward and resources to help you build understanding of your strengths and options. This session is for you if:

• You have been working in the university sector for so long that you do not know what you’re good at
• You hear ‘transferable skills’ being mentioned but do not know how the term applies to you
• You wonder where researchers go when they leave their current role

Who should attend?
