This companion module focuses on practical preparation for academic and industry careers. You learn how to present your strengths with clarity through CVs, interviews, portfolios, and networking.

You begin by exploring academic CVs, long‑form documents that highlight publications, teaching experience, grants, and service. You learn how to structure sections, emphasise impact, and tailor your CV to specific roles.

You then explore industry CVs and portfolios. These emphasise skills, outcomes, collaboration, and measurable achievements. The module helps you translate academic experience into industry‑relevant language.

Interview preparation is another key theme. You learn how to communicate your research clearly, how to discuss teamwork and leadership, and how to respond to scenario‑based questions. The module also covers job talks, teaching demonstrations, and technical interviews.

Networking is reframed as relationship‑building rather than self‑promotion. You explore how to connect authentically, follow up with intention, and build a supportive professional community.

By the end, you feel equipped to step into either pathway with confidence.
