It's not always easy to see how the skills and qualities that you are developing in and around your PhD can 'map across' to types of work beyond academia. In this quick one-hour webinar, PGR Careers Adviser Holly will introduce you to her 'SEARCH(I)T' model, which helps you to break down the skills gained during your PhD and to see how these could translate across to a wide range of career options in different sectors.

This webinar is designed to help you:
  • Identify different types of skills that you’ve developed in and around your postgraduate research
  • Compare different ways of ‘using’ your skills and interests in your future work
  • Recognise how a range of PhD graduates have used their skills to find their next steps
  • Apply the above to generating your own career ideas beyond academia
