<div class="moz-forward-container">Hi all, this course will begin on
Tuesday 4 October @ 13.15, online. All are welcome.<br>
<div dir="ltr">
The syllabus is included below and, so you know, I've added a
Project Management component to the course which was not present
the first time it was given. <a

<font face="Arial, Verdana" color="#000000">What previous
students have said about this course:</font><br>
<ul>
<li style="margin-left:15px"><i>I would suggest SU to make
this course compulsory for every student. Emily has lots
of personal experiences with former students which she
likes to share.</i></li>
<li style="margin-left:15px"><i>The best thing about the
course was how much knowledge Emily has about the job
market and tips for interviews and CV/skills etc! She’s
amazing at being a career coach and I think every PhD
student/postdoc would benefit from taking this course!
It’s so important to know these things and I like that
she gives us the “hard truths”. It’s tough out there but
she gave me some hope for the future! She has been so
helpful.</i></li>
<li style="margin-left:15px"><i>I really liked the focus on
practical tips and preparations. Really nice that the
homework was also things that you need to do anyway.</i></li>
<li style="margin-left:15px"><i>I also appreciated the
frankness of the discussion and advice, and the depth
and detail of the information we received.</i></li>
<li style="margin-left:15px"><i>Interactive and full of
useful information.</i></li>
