Marketing your skills and your professional research experience

During the recruitment process, PhD holders have the opportunity to talk about their research experience. To ensure that their presentation is pertinent, easy to understand and effective, PhD holders must first have analysed their experience in depth. This process provides candidates with the necessary perspective to promote their roles and responsibilities in research projects and highlight the outcomes of their research, its impact and the skills they have developed.
