Job Hunting Tips for Researchers

Event organiser

Oxford Brookes

On the agenda

Job hunting can be exciting, anxiety-provoking and potentially labour intensive. So how do you devise an efficient job search strategy to match your needs, maximise your time and maintain motivation throughout the process?

Whether you are looking for academic or non-academic roles or both, this session will help you to:

  • assess priorities when drawing up your own job search strategy
  • know where to look for advertised vacancies and how to assess them for suitability
  • draw on networks and connections, including social media, to gain an ‘insider’ advantage
  • understand the hidden jobs market and how to tap into it
  • adopt helpful practices and self-talk to look after yourself throughout the process

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions throughout and by the end of the session you will know how to access a range of resources and careers support to help you manage the job hunting process effectively.

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