What do you have to offer an employer? During your studies, you develop all kinds of knowledge and skills, but you also gain valuable experience outside your degree programme. This could include volunteering, a part-time job, board or committee work, sports or other activities. It can be difficult to recognise which skills you have developed through these experiences and how to put them into words.
In this practical workshop, you will discover which strengths, talents and skills you have and learn how to translate them into concrete examples. You will practise describing and presenting your skills and explore what employers look for and what they want to know about you.
You will learn how to present your strengths and skills clearly and convincingly in your CV and cover letter, and how to talk about them during a job interview.
By the end of the workshop, you will have a clearer understanding of what you have to offer and be better able to use your skills and experiences effectively throughout the application process.
This workshop is a good preparation for the workshops ‘Job Interview’ and ‘How Do I Find a Job That Suits Me?’.
