Strategic career planning aims at helping you answering questions like: What are my goals and interests? What type of positions are available and which of them match my preferences?
Who can provide information and which network do I need for successful job hunting?
On the basis of these questions the workshop participants develop the competencies needed for an effective career planning process. The workshop deals in particular with the following topics:
>> My qualification profile: Stocktaking of my key skills
>> The labour market in & outside academia: Desirable and realistic career pathways
>> Clarification of my goals: What exactly do I know already, what is unclear?
>> Before the application: Strategies & stumbling blocks
>> Networking & self-marketing: Building contacts
>> In conversation with interesting people: Pinpoint questions and appropriate self-statements
>> Career strategies: My next steps
