Marketing yourself: CV Writing Thursday 4th July 3 – 5pm Doctoral College Training Room
Is your CV up to date? Could it be strengthened? This workshop will look at different styles of CV, academic, technical and for industrial/commercial applications, for example. Share ideas about how to tailor CVs to meet employers’ expectations across difference sectors. Bring a copy of your CV for review.
Interview Skills Workshop Thursday 11th July 3- 5 pm Doctoral College Training Room
If applying for roles or getting ready to make applications, the more preparation you do for interview, the more likely you are to succeed. This workshop will give an overview of current selection techniques, such as psychometric testing and assessment centres, and provide an opportunity to review presentation skills and strategies to answer interview questions.
Researchers from a range of disciplines are very welcome to both workshops, ensuring an opportunity to find out how your CV and elevator pitch, for example, might appeal to gatekeepers who are and are not specialists in your area, such as HR or recruiters. Email r.marrington@surrey.ac.uk to sign up.
