Too Late to Change Direction? Career Transitions for Research Staff & DPhils
Date: Wednesday 20th June. Time: 13.00 - 16.00. Location: Careers Service
Are you considering a career change? Wondering if you are employable and/or what you might be giving up?
In this workshop we will explore our understanding of the pros and cons of staying in academic research, whether and how we can move to another sector (or combine aspects of academia with another role) and what we feel we might be risking in making this move.
In small groups, we will then
• become familiar with an evidence-informed framework for assessing a potential career move,
• think about how to use this in our current roles,
• develop some practical strategies to assist decision-making.
Positive steps in career development come from meeting others and learning. See our bespoke opportunities below, plus Careers Days, invited speakers and skills sessions run by your department, division or post-doc network.
For appointments with Rachel Bray, Rebecca Ehata or another Careers Adviser of your choice at the Careers Service on Banbury Road, please book through CareerConnect. Rachel and Rebecca also offer regular appointments for scientists at the JR and Old Road Campus, bookable by phoning reception on 01865 274646.
