Early-career researchers often dabble in various employment settings (e.g. academia, industry, government, etc.). While these circumstances are relatively common, individuals often describe feeling behind, out of place, unprepared, or confused about how to navigate career transitions. In this session, career consultants from the University of Auckland will teach you a search strategy to expand your awareness of what is possible. Rather than 4am doom scrolling on Seek, you will learn how to organize an employer-focused job search step-by-step, how to use LinkedIn to get a sense of what counts as ‘qualified’, and tips for what to expect in a professional job search. Attendees at all career stages and from all institutions are welcome.
