Marketing your Masters

New Picture (21)One of my colleagues, Susan Bird, led an online seminar last month on Marketing your Masters.  She helped Masters students to think about the skills they were developing through their online Masters degree and how they could market these skills to a range of employers in a curriculum vitae (CV).  For those of you unable to participate in the seminar the slides are now available to view here:  Marketing Your Masters
