For all PhD students and Postdocs at AAU
Description:
Since 2006 the total number of PhD students in Denmark has doubled. Currently, more than 2400 PhD students are enrolled annually at the Danish universities. This entails that the traditional career path of PhDs is undergoing noticeable changes. PhDs have to look for job opportunities outside the universities in both public and private sectors.
This conference seeks to address these challenges and the possibilities PhD students are faced with today.

During the segment we will introduce you to an exercise to help you look back at past experiences and categorize your professional and personal competencies. We will also provide you with a tool that helps identify your strengths and talents in order to focus your job search strategy towards a job you like and that gives you good energy.

Capturing the transferable skills and knowledge you have acquired as a PhD is essential for you to focus your job search and identify the best opportunities for you. By researching the job market you will be able to identify the keywords and the skills the industry and companies are looking for. You will receive tips and tools on how to research the job market. Furthermore you will receive ideas on how to pitch your transferable skills and knowledge making you a very attractive employee.
