Tutoring and Demonstrating Ch. 9

Chapter 9. YOUR CAREER DEVELOPMENT: advice for graduate students

Many tutors and demonstrators who teach at the University of Melbourne are graduate students at the start of their careers or going through a change of career. While working on their research and teaching, they need also to keep a strategic eye on their own career development, planning ahead for a professional life in universities, other educational institutions or quite different areas of employment. This section of the guide offers some advice about how to capitalise on current opportunities to develop and demonstrate skills which should be of use in any future work.
