Anmeldung: Applying Outside Academia (part 2) – Interviews and Salaries [ENG]

This course is for doctoral researchers and postdocs who have little application knowledge and are looking for a new employment in the next 12 months.

In a live webinar we will talk about typical salaries for job starters and criteria which can influence the salary. We practice a salary calculation method you can use to determine a salary for a specific position. At the end various research options are introduced which you can use to find out more about a company´s internal salary structure.

In a following self-study training you get general information about your preparation for job interviews, including suitable clothing, time of arrival and research about the company. You learn more about the classical interview structure and receive advice for a professional self-introduction and special interview situations such as online or by telephone. Subsequently, a video seminar explains the right approach to a salary negotiation and how to avoid common mistakes. Additionally, you get to know alternative options to substitute a lower payment offer.

In a follow-up workshop we work out answers for typical questions a recruiter asks you during the interview.

In a third appointment you can exercise your self-presentation and receive feedback.

Live sessions will be held in English. Self-study courses are available in English and German.
