NSCPHD1277 CareerLab (generic course)
The course focuses on:
• Self understanding
• Career models and Jung’s type index
• Analyzing job advertisements
• Creating and maintaining networks
• Mapping your competences
• CV management
• Writing job and grant applications
• Training job interviews
• Career choice
• Career planning
You will prepare for the course through some practical work (Career
model test; Jung’s type index; 2-min oral presentation; find one
relevant job advertisement; bring one job application of your own
plus the matching job posting). You will work on your own Personal
Career Plan (PCP) during the course. The PCP forms the course
assignment together with material that you would like feedback on
(e.g. an application or a CV). The content of the PCP is flexible
and will be agreed upon at the course.
The participants will obtain information on linked generic
activities that may assist them in their future career, e.g.
courses on writing press releases, writing post doc applications
and language training courses.
This course is about understanding yourself and preparing you
for the transition from the life as PhD student. When you leave
this course you are clearer about what motivates you for your
career. You will know what a good career is for you, what matters
to you and what makes you attractive towards an employer.
Optional activities can be taken in relation to the course (e.g. a
career workshop for international PhD students, post doc
application workshops and language courses).
Course materials will be distributed to the participants.
