We are planning several evening events at Phononics 2019.
Monday, 3 June 2019 (Evening, Exact Time TBA)
Create Your Career and Get the Job
Learn how to create your career and get the job! Most jobs are not advertised, and even if they are, there is usually a short-list of candidates already in mind (including in academia). So how do you find out about and access the 90% of jobs that are "hidden"? In this workshop, we will focus on strategies and tactics to understand what we can, could, and should be doing for careers, identify new opportunities, locate decision-makers within organizations, solidify your reputation in the minds of those who hire, and gain access to hidden jobs and career-changing opportunities. We will focus our time on specific tactics to enable you to create your own dream career and get you the job, such as communicating your value, interviewing skills. This workshop is applicable to both academic and non-academia career paths.
