Networking & Job Hunting (Nov. 30th-Dec.1st 2015)
Organizer: Juraj Gregan
Background
After finishing their PhD studies, students have to make an important decision about their future career. Although it is our priority to prepare students for a scientific career, there are many worthwhile careers outside academia for science PhD holders. In the first part of this career workshop, students learned about diverse career opportunities presented during several talks and had extensive time to meet the speakers during informal meetings. The second part provided an alternative to the usual CV/Cover letter method of job hunting and focused on networking and self-development.
