Webcast - I’m out of here! Leaving academia
A webcast offered by the Human Resources Development
The aim of the video is to support you in developing viable individual ideas for professional alternatives to an academic career. Using knowledge input, examples, exercises for analysis and self-reflection as well as sample materials (e.g. sample CVs, practice questions for job interviews), the video will enable you to assess the situation for PhD holders on the labor market, reflect on your own interests and values, research possible career options, identify your own skills for the non-university job market, start the application process and plan the next steps.
