Undervisningsform
Before the course we will provide you with material to read and instruct you to do two personal tests at the internet. You will also need to prepare a 2-min oral presentation of yourself, find an attractive job advertisement and write your gross CV. You will also need to bring a job application of your own (old or recent). The course will alternate between lectures, discussions and exercises. You need to hand-in the PCP one week after the last day of the course.
