We have 3 live workshops scheduled for the BARS ECR & PGR conference. All of these will take place on Friday 12 June.

1-2pm, 'Working in Heritage': Dr. Charlotte May and Fiona Lewin will be talking about their work in the Culture and Heritage section. Charlotte has worked with the National Trust and is currently working with Keswick Museum in her role as the Cultural Engagement Fellow at Nottingham. Fiona is Senior House Steward at The Workhouse, Southwell, National Trust.

2-3pm, 'Freelance Roles for PGRs and ECRs': Dr. Emily Paterson-Morgan will be discussing options for employment PGRs and ECRs can undertake while remaining connected to academia. This workshop is designed to help Postgraduates and Early Career Researchers with what can be a tricky and rather daunting transition from university to the job market. Whether you just need short-term or flexible employment until the monograph is completed or whether you are considering leaving academia entirely, this workshop can help. The first part of the session will look at some of the jobs you might not know you are qualified for, while the second part will teach you how to re-package your academic skills for the non-academic employment market. This will be followed by a Q&A.

3-4pm, 'Academic Interviews': Dr. Andrew McInnes will give a practical account of applying for jobs, preparing for interviews, and hints and tips for presentations and interviews. It will explore how to present your research, professional skills, and experience effectively in job applications, interview presentations, and in the interview itself.
