Presentation

Objectives

During their job search, PhD-holders need to talk about their research experience and skills. The skills they have developed, are also transferable to non-academic research, as well as to jobs in other sectors. To ensure pertinent, easy-to-understand and effective presentations during the job search process, PhD holders must first have analysed their own experience in depth and then practice their communication.

This workshop gives participants the opportunity to step back to analyse their experience. It offers them the perspective needed to promote their roles and responsibilities in the research projects they have been involved in and helps them identify and highlight their achievements and skills.
