Description:

Leaving academia and looking for a job in the industry is an important and sometimes difficult step. This fundamental career training enables you to prepare convincing application documents. It consists of live webinars and self-learning videos.

Content

•    Content and design of an application

•    Analysis of job ads and estimation of chances

•    Individual application questions

In a self-study course, you will get the necessary basic knowledge on how to write your cover letter and CV, and how best to adapt your application to the job offer. You see examples for a professional application design, photos and get advice for your certificate selection. We reflect modern and traditional application aspects and deepen the understanding of your target persons. Moreover, you receive important hints how to make your profile particularly interesting for employers. In an additional live workshop, you learn the meaning of typical phrases in job advertisements and how much your chances of success are influenced by requirements you cannot fulfil. In a limited time frame, we can discuss a few personal application questions and examples. If you are interested, prepare your resume and/or cover letter. You can disguise content you do not want to share with the group.

Target Group:

International and German doctoral researchers and postdocs who have little application knowledge and are looking for a new employment in the next 12 months.

With your registration, you are required to accept the terms and conditions for participation.
