Job applications in & outside academia: Understanding standards – developing a personal approach
An occupation in research and teaching, a career in industry, in the service sector, or in non-profit organisations – after the doctorate there are numerous professional fields and career paths open on the international labour market.
But what does it take to obtain an attractive position – maybe even in a field or branch I have no experience with? The basis for successful applications is some understanding of professional application standards in & outside academia and the current trends in the application process.
In the workshop the necessary application standards are conveyed and new developments are explained. With the help of structured input and selected examples from practice, the participants are prepared for a successful approach to the application process. The following topics are covered:
>> My qualification profile: How do I show my potential?
>> The labour market in & outside academia: Desirable and realistic career pathways
>> Job search: What exactly does it mean?
>> Application dossier: Current standards
>> English applications: What is different?
>> The interview: From individual interview to assessment centre
>> Pecunia non olet: Skilful salary negotiations
>> Job applications: My next steps
IMPORTANT: This in-person workshop is limited to 16 participants. MarDATA doctoral researchers have priority in the registration process.
