Considering career alternatives but need more information?

Around 50% of postgraduate researchers move beyond academia after graduation, and many postdoctoral researchers will make a similar transition. For those contemplating such a career move key questions arise such as what qualifications and skills do employers require? how easy is it to make the transition? where do I find job opportunities? Lots of documented information about different career areas is available (e.g. The UCL Careers Service library, UCL Careers Research Students pages, www.careerstagged.co.uk), but sometimes there are things you can only find out from people actually doing those jobs. The UCL Careers Service, in conjunction with the Graduate School, has for quite a few years now provided postgraduate research students with the opportunity to meet employers in a variety of ways (visit our research students careers pages for more information) but both research students and research staff can also attend careers events with employers provided by our parent organisation; The Careers Group, University of London. Some forthcoming sector-specific careers events include:

• Exploring Graduate Entry into Medicine, 16th Feb 2011.

• Getting into International Development, 10th March 2011

• Careers in Marketing, Advertising & PR, 14th – 15th March 2011

• Creative Industries -Getting into Television, 21st March 2011
