[Virtual Career Day 2022] The Transfer of Academic Soft Skills for Non-Academic Career Paths
This workshop will be held in English on April 28, 2022 in the framework of the Virtual Career Day 2022: Transition Possible.
After completing their doctorate or postdoc, many are faced with the challenge of embarking on a new career outside academia or in science management. In contrast to the scientific job market, however, they cannot score points with their specialist expertise alone, and the job market even seems to have little interest in some specialist areas. The good news is: Early career researchers often have more to offer than they themselves realize. Essential are the broader competences and so-called "soft skills" that develop through research, teaching and other roles as a scientist.
What do you have to offer and how can you credibly present your qualities in the resume and at the interview?
In this impulse workshop, you will receive practical information on how you can use the soft skills and knowledge you have acquired in academia for the non-academic job market. Primarily focused on the German job market.
It will address the questions:
- Differences between applications in research/academia and outside academia
- What do I bring? Becoming aware of your qualities and how to sell them (incl. exercises)
- How do recruiters select?
- How to present these competencies in a resume / CV / „Lebenslauf“?
- What experience can you cite in the interview as an example of acquiring these soft skills?
Postdocs will have priority for attending. Doctoral researchers, however, can still register and will be offered a spot if not all places are taken.
To participate in this workshop, you need a stable internet connection, a webcam and a microphone. Participants will receive further detailed information regarding the online-platform prior to the workshop. Registered participants will receive the link shortly before the event.
If you are interested in this workshop, you can also sign up for the main event.
This event is part of the Virtual Career Day 2022 and is sponsored by the Helmholtz Association.
