Welcome to Germany! You are a threatened scientist who had to leave their own country and research? You are a scholarship holder of a German refugee program and work at a German university, preferably in Baden-Württemberg? You do not know how long your stay in Germany will last? You are open to consider switching into the German business world? At least you want to know what your options besides the academic world could be?
In this two-day workshop you will meet like-minded people and together with a seasoned German Human Ressources Manager now Career Coach we will discuss the opportunities of the German labour market for foreign academics, and how to best apply. You will discover how to “translate” your skills both into the German as well as business language. Also we will talk about common intercultural pitfalls when applying as an international academic in a private enterprise. Last but not least you will get to know the relevant players and helpdesks for your jobsearch as well as possible employers in the region and beyond. As this workshop is very hands-on, we will optimize your CV individually and practice mock job interviews, so afterwards you are ready to start your own jobhunt.
