996007 How to get into the non-academic German job market! A workshop for international doctoral candidates and postdocs (WS) (SoSe 2024)

Contents, comment

For researchers with an international background, it can be a real challenge to get into the (non-academic) German job market at the end of an academic position. Where and how you can look for a job outside classic academia depends on your qualifications and skills set, on your individual life situation as well as on knowing aboutpossible entry paths, the (unwritten) rules of the game and other additional parameters.

This workshop offers assistance with this and will encourage participants not just to prepare for this transition in a focused way but to create an action plan which they can implement. In the second part participant have a one-to-one consultation and can get individualised feedback.

The workshop has five components:

1. Developing a profile: What can I do and where do I want to work with that? Special emphasis is placed on seeing an international background as an additional strength.
2. Information about the landscape of the German job market for international doctoral/post-doc candidates: which areas of work are attractive, what are theformal requirements concerning residence and employment, what are the limits and possibilities in your job search, what ways are there of entering a profession?
3. Planning the next steps: Which factors do I need to consider in planning my next steps (German language skills, how long do I envisage staying in Germany etc.?)
4. Empowerment: Drawing on numerous case studies of international doctorate holders who have successfully entered the German job market, strategies for success will be highlighted. Participants will gain the confidence to get started and concretize their next steps!
5. Individual Advice: after the initial training, participants report back on their progress and receive practically-oriented job-application training and/or advice in the form of an individual consultation session.
