Discussions about different career pathways: academia, industry, government, not-for-profit
An overview of each of these pathways and their pros and cons
Resources (books, websites, blogs) that can help with your job search and applications
Timelines for different types of job applications and when to apply
Tips for interpreting job ads and writing job applications
How to write a CV for an academic and non-academic employer

Please bring a copy of your latest CV to this workshop as it will include a practical session on re-working your CV.

This workshop will be facilitated by Dr Jennifer Cheng. In addition, a guest speaker, Dr Heather Buchan, has been invited who will talk to you about working in research outside academia. This will be an opportunity for you to ask any questions you have.

All Western Sydney University PhD students welcome.
