How to build your career Networking (electronic and face to face) Research profile (publish and attract funding) Teaching expertise Career development and training Awareness of key issues: student experience, enterprise/public engagement, internationalisation

Things to include in your CV Introductions: to include a headline statement or not? Personal Details – date of birth? Qualifications Experience: teaching, research, administration Bullet points not paragraphs Interests: to illustrate skills, appear human! In your cover letter, explain any career breaks?

Application ‘Clangers’ You are not qualified for the job – use the person spec Not prioritising key info on CV Spelling errors, typos Lying Badly formatted CV: appearance is crucial!

Golden rules for interviews Time your presentation precisely – think about audience too Research in advance Re-visit your application and be prepared to substantiate everything you have claimed Dress smartly to look the part. Arrive early Behave like a normal human being! Think about how to combat nerves Be ready for any ‘curve ball’ questions Have a question or two to ask the panel

Interviews: prepare for the why questions Why do you want to work at this university? Why would your interests fit in here at this department? Why are you the best person for this job?

And now…. Let’s learn from each other Share experiences Any questions?
