> job. Jacqui Akhurst, York Saint John University College, will drawing on
> research into employability and work-based learning will explore a variety of
> job options beyond academia for psychology postgraduates and will conduct an
> activity surveying current job prospects.
>
>
>
> Session 2 - Career Panel: We have arranged for a selection of people who have
> finished their psychology PhDs in the past three years to sit on a panel.
> Each panel member has chosen a different career path (postdocs, lecturers and
> working in the NHS) and each will discuss their experiences and answer any
> questions. This discussion will be moderated by Rachel Wilcock, Senior
> Lecturer at London South Bank University.

>
> Session 3 - Giving Yourself the Competitive Edge: Building up a portfolio to
> provide evidence of skills and competences is becoming a crucial resource for
> job-seekers. Jacqui Akhurst and Sue Palmer will explore an online
> awareness-raising task (skill card sort), discuss the customising of material
> for applications, and draw attention to tricky questions that may form part
> of recruitment exercises.
