Kursusindhold
The course focuses on:

. Self understanding.
. Career models and Jung's type index.
. Analyzing job advertisements.
. Creating and maintaining networks
. Mapping your competences.
. CV management.
. Writing job and grant applications.
. Training job interviews.
. Career choice.
. Career planning.

You will prepare for the course through some practical work (Career model test; Jung's type index; 2-min oral presentation; find one relevant job advertisement; bring one job application of your own plus the matching job posting). You will work on your own Personal Career Plan (PCP) during the course. The PCP forms the course assignment together with material that you would like feedback on (e.g. an application or a CV). The content of the PCP is flexible and will be agreed upon at the course.

The participants will obtain information on linked generic activities that may assist them in their future career, e.g. courses on writing press releases, writing post doc applications and language training courses.
 
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. You will also need to bring a job application of your own (old or recent) and the corresponding job posting. 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.
