Lunchtime Kōrero: Creating Your Best Career In-Person

Take a break and widen your research horizon by listening to a 20-to-30-minute talk followed by Q&A and networking over tea, coffee and biscuits! Every first Wednesday of the month, tea and coffee will be provided. We encourage you to bring your own cup (however cups are available if you forget).

Creating Your Best Career

In this workshop, Michael will draw on his broad career experiences, his research into PhD career destinations, and his training in organisational psychology to explore how we can all create our best career - from deciding which type of jobs will (and won’t) suit us best, how to prepare for them, how to deal with disappointments and imposter syndrome, job-crafting and how to decide when it is time to make a change.

This workshop will be run by Dr Michael Edmonds. After completing his PhD in organic chemistry, Michael has had a varied career journey including working as a lab technician, schoolteacher, post-doctoral fellow, researcher, lecturer, STEM co-ordinator, manager, and head of department. In 2022, Michael completed his master’s degree in Organisational Psychology and has been since been working as the Manager of the Biomolecular Interaction Centre at the University of Canterbury.
