Whether you are intending to apply for academic or further research roles, or for non-academic roles within or beyond higher education, learning to market yourself on paper is an essential step towards gaining that all-important interview and then the job itself.  

In this session you will learn:

• how applications are shortlisted for interview
• how to decode job adverts and target your information to employers’ needs
• conventions for CVs and covering letters within and beyond academia
• how to approach online application forms

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout and by the end of the session you will know how to find lots of useful resources specifically for researchers including sample CVs and written applications.

This session is open to all Brookes research students and fixed-term research staff.

If you are unable to attend but would like to receive the session materials please feel free to register.
