WORKSHOP // Building Your Career Strategy in Academia and Beyon: The Lucky Mindset
Trainer: Anne Schreiter
Abstract: Success in academia and beyond isn’t just about doing excellent work – it’s also about being ready for unexpected opportunities. In this talk, we’ll explore how to identify your values, strengths, and transferable skills, and how to use storytelling and networking to increase your visibility.
You’ll learn how to craft an authentic career strategy, position yourself for serendipitous opportunities, and explore both traditional and creative application approaches. There will be time for your questions, too.
The event is specifically organized for doctoral candidates of the SNP2Prot PROTEOFORuM and other research training groups in the field of Natural Sciences and Agricultural and Food Economics.
