About the workshop
It can be hard as an early career researcher to find time to plan your next career move but the more informed you are about yourself and your ‘profile’, the more you can (begin to) identify your options and the possible routes you might take … and possibly save yourself time later on. In this short online session specially designed for international researchers we will focus on
• Personal aspects of your “profile” – what skills do I bring, what can I do, what motivates me, what matters to me and how and when do I work best?
• Situational aspects of your “profile” – where am I able/willing to go, do I have what I need to get there, which factors constrain my current choices
With this in place, you will have a basis on which to to define your next career steps.
