Preparation Work: • Participants will be asked to prepare for the workshop by completing a initial profile and reading articles provided in advance. • Analyzing the PhD experience to uncover the skills, interests and motivations that will build their individual profile. • Between the two days of the workshop, participants will put together their choice of presentation media: a CV, a cover letter, an online profile, or an elevator pitch. This work will then be reviewed in the second day. • Reviewing individual presentation media in small groups and in plenum.
This workshop is designed to help participants go through the process of understanding who they are: their professional identity. This clarification is an essential step to take before we begin to ask what we want to do, where we want to do it, and how we will get there. Participation and format: |
