Career Planning and Strategic Networking

online

Content

For many scientists the career path is not defined. They are required to make realistic and courageous decisions. For personal career planning, they have to develop various options for themselves and prepare themselves strategically for national and international applications. Decisions for the next career steps must be made in such a way that all areas of life, such as work, family, life goals, and social commitment are adequately considered. The decisions should lead to a fulfilled (professional) life. Accordingly, it is not enough to focus on the competences and abilities of the career choice "only". For the further career path, the personal prerequisites, one's own values and wishes play an essential role. In this workshop we will focus on these questions:

 

• What are my values and life goals? – Includes the career anchor test according to Edgar Schein

• What alternative career options do I have?

• How do I set myself smart goals? - Timing and milestones

• How do I become visible as an expert in my field?

• What relevant networks can I use?

• Network etiquette: What do I need to consider when networking?
