To help prepare candidates for the European Job Market for Economists 2022 in December, the RES hosted a one-hour webinar last week where participants heard from hiring academics as well as new recruits. For those who missed the event, the recording is now available to view.
Over 100 participants attended the event, where it was fueled with different discussions and questions about various topics about the job market and applying for jobs.
The event was chaired by RES President, Prof Nicholas Crafts CBE, Nick is Professor of Economic History at the University of Sussex and Emeritus Professor of Economic History at the University of Warwick, along with some amazing panellists:
- Prof Alessandra Guariglia (University of Birmingham)
