How to market yourself effectively in written job applications as a researcher, whether for academic or non-academic roles

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.

• how to approach online application forms

The session will last one hour, followed by 30 minutes discussion /  Q & A.  It will not be recorded to facilitate peer sharing.
