Due to the limited number of positions, only a small number of doctoral students have the opportunity to start a career in research and teaching at a university. In addition, many do not even aspire to this. Support therefore includes talking to doctoral students about their career goals in good time and without prejudice and showing them the options. Scientists often lack the necessary knowledge to do this, as they are of course not trained career advisors. Nor is it a question of suggesting specific job titles - that is no longer possible today, as the variety of jobs changes far too quickly. What they can do, however, is to support their doctoral students in finding their way. The short workshop will therefore cover the following topics: What is career orientation? Why does the term "career" have a different meaning for everyone?
Contents
- List of questions to support doctoral candidates with their initial orientation
- Information about the job market: use valid sources
- Profile development: tools that you can pass on to doctoral candidates
- Future skills vs. soft skills: what is happening right now?
- Gaining an overview in the jungle of online job matching and hiring platforms
- Where in the University can I get help?
Methods
Flipped Classroom: Learning material in advance on the learning platform - meeting time for exchange and practice
