IAPH is hosting a workshop in the National Library of Ireland with Dr Chris Humphrey, founder of Jobs on Toast. Since completing a PhD in Medieval Studies, Chris has pursued a successful career in the private sector. This one hour workshop on ‘How to market yourself for careers outside academia’ is for PhD students, postdocs and early career academics interested in alternative career paths. It can be tricky to translate your academic skills and experience for the job market outside academia. By attending the workshop, you’ll learn how to identify the transferable skills and experience you’ve gained, and how to present yourself in the best light for professional jobs in business, the NGO sector, industry and government.
After the workshop Chris will also meet with members who would like some advice on how to structure their CVs. Chris will spend ten minutes with each member; there are a limited number of personalised consultation slots available, so please let us know if you would like to avail of this when reserving your place for the workshop.
The workshop is open to members (€10) and non-members (€20). Those availing of the consultation will be charged for both attending the workshop and having the consultation (€15 members/ €30 non-members). Sign up is available for members only until 9 January and is then open to all.
Email info@iaph.ie to reserve a place and please indicate if you are interested in the workshop and/or consultation.
