Career Decision Making (IDA)

Deciding on which direction to go after your PhD is overwhelming for many. This workshop will introduce you to different career paths and address: When is the right time to make career decisions and how can you prepare for it?

Working in Denmark as an International PhD (IDA)

What does the future look like after your PhD? Learn more about what the Danish labour market looks like for International PhDs. Get insights from IDA’s international consultant and hear a personal case story from a former PhD, now working in Dk.

Cover Letter Writing (DM)

If you are interested in a non-academic career, communicating the value of your researcher skills is essential. In this session we will address the struggles of cover letter writing that are often encountered by researchers, and give you tips on how to write a successful cover letter.

Researcher Skills at Work (DM)

As more researchers look for work outside academia, translating an academic skillset to the non-academic world is becoming relevant. This session maps strategies of developing and communicating a relevant skillset in research years.

CV Writing and LinkedIn
(Djøf) 

This workshop will help formulate your CV: what information to include, and how to translate research experience into a CV aimed at industry. We also cover LinkedIn: how it supplements your application, and how to market yourself.

“Freelance you” (The Kitchen) 

In this session, we will address the advantages and disadvantages of working as a self-employed consultant selling your knowledge. Join to hear from speakers with experience on the potentials of activating your research as a freelancer, and starting on the path of self-employment.
 
  • The event will span over three days, but it is not a full three-day commitment: you can join the sessions that match your schedule and that you are interested in.
  • Prior to the event we will send out an overview of the links for each webinar, as well as the daily links each morning of the event. We will also publish the links on our website and Facebook page.
  • We encourage everyone to research the companies and prepare relevant questions in advance, just as you would before a career fair. Furthermore, we invite you to explore companies outside of your comfort zone, and see what opportunities they may have to offer.
