What to do with my PhD?
Target Group
Women only! Doctoral students in the last year before completing their doctorate (late-stage PhD students) and postdocs in the first phase after their doctorate (early-stage postdocs) who are not yet clear about their career goals.
Outside of academic research, suitability predictions about candidates are only made to a small extent on the basis of previous professional training and qualifications. Personality traits and the ability to interact with others play an important role.
The aim of this workshop is to make participants aware of what is expected of them and why they need to prepare for it. They will be given an overview of different career options in the public, private and non-profit sectors. Fields of activity and job profiles will be presented in more detail based on their requirements for the personality of the job holder. In the second part, participants are supported in examining their own personality profile and motives in order to decide which activities suit them best.
