Self-Marketing / 26-4-SeMa-5

 

It is often not enough simply to do a good job. In an increasingly confusing world, you only get important information, cooperation possibilities and job offers if people know you. That doesn't mean you have to bend over backwards, but that you should somehow spread the word about yourself and your expertise. This ranges from everyday behavior in the workplace to forms of self-advertising online and offline to the design of formalities such as the CV. Therefore, this workshop is intended to teach the basics of self-marketing and give participants the chance to develop their own strategies and priorities.

• Why self-marketing is essential – and how to get to grips with it?
• What do I want to stand for? My strengths and goals?
• How to be visible in the office, at conferences and online?
• Networking, clear communication and elevator pitches

Further Information

Postdocs are welcome to participate if spots are available.

Doctoral programs calculate credits based on the number of work units earned through workshop participation. Each work unit represents 45 minutes of workshop time, and 8 work units equal 0.5 credit points. For mini workshops (less than 8 work units), credits are calculated proportionally based on the work units. Please note: To be eligible for credit transfer, you must accumulate enough work units from short workshops. For example, attending two 3-hour workshops results in 8 work units (2 workshops x 4 work units each), which equals 0.5 credits.
