I'm a Research Student and I want to learn the skills of successful job search

I want to:

Write a a targetted CV or effective application

Suceed at interviews 
How to present yourself effectively at different types of interview

Take part in a job seeking seminar
Careers Workshops are offered by careers adviser Katrina Gray as part of the Skills Training Programme for Research Students in most Graduate Schools. These cover issues including Making Applications and Interview Techniques. If there is not currently a workshop that fits with your career needs then ask your Graduate School if this could be arranged with Katrina. Alternatively book to discuss this with Katrina in a one-to-one consultation.

There are also external courses and events that cover Job Seeking. Many are run by UK GRAD. All external events will be advertised on JEM.

Experience examples of assessment centre recruitment tests.
