Description:
The course is given by Matthias Merkelbach, ImpulsPlus, Köln.


Important: This is not a career orientation workshop!

Pre-work is required (CV, cover letter, job advertisements you wish to apply to)! Only sign up if you will definitely be able to do the pre-work!

Target group
This workshop has been designed for late-stage PhD candidates who want to prepare for the job search in a systematic way, or who want to learn more about application strategies and feel more confident in the application
process.

Target
The workshop will teach participants which strategies they can apply to find a job that matches their profile. Participants will also learn more about the career options that different occupational fields can offer.

Content
Participants will develop individual job application strategies based on their personal and professional background and employment options. The relevant criteria that are obligatory for a written job application will be covered. Participants will also be given the opportunity to have their application documents analyzed and optimized, if desired. The last part of the workshop will deal with the job interview. Which aspects should an interviewee pay special attention to, and what are the different elements of a typical job interview? Finally, participants will act out individual elements of a job interview to feel more confident in these situations.
