Forgive the silence on our part for the last few weeks, we have been out and about running careers hubs and visiting universities. In addition we have been preparing for ChemCareers this year. This year we added three webinars in the run up to the main event, which begins on the 10th November. Last month we focused on the path into teaching (you can listen again to this soon).

For October we will be talking to Dr Schwikkard from the University of Surrey who is currently on a Dorothy Hodgkins fellowship on the benefits and challenges of a postdoc.

Then in the week before ChemCareers main event, we will be discussing small and medium companies (SMEs). You can find the full programme of events on the ChemCareers page.

We would obviously love you to come along to listen and contribute during the sessions but, if you feel that you would like to do more and be on one of the panels, please get in touch at chemcareers@rsc.org with the details of the webinar you would like to be involved in.

Teachers, we all know at least one. This makes teaching a prime choice for people thinking about their next career move, but do you know what is really involved in being a teacher?



As part of ChemCareers 2014 we are running three webinars in the three months before the main event, the first of which is on getting into teaching.

Interested? Then coming along THIS Wednesday (10th September) at 2pm GMT where we will have a panel discussion talking to people who have been through the process and sharing their experiences with you. You can register here:https://www4.gotomeeting.com/register/619113095
