Workshop What have I got to offer an employer (qualities/skills)? 
What knowledge, skills and qualities do you already have to distinguish yourself on the job market? It can be difficult to see this in yourself, because it is very normal for you and you may always act in this way. The aim of this workshop is to gain insight into your knowledge, competences and qualities. Before you know well which (career) job suits you and you can work on it, it is good to have a clear picture of yourself. Outlined by some theory about the labor market and personal development, the focus of this workshop will be on exercises to clarify what you have to offer. This self-knowledge helps you make effective study and career choices.

Workshop Finding a job that fits

And what do I really want?

Workshop Career Stress! How can I deal with that pressure?
Sometimes it feels like everyone around you has finished three internships, two masters and had time left to do volunteer work in the summers. In short, everybody seems to be more prepared than you to start that first job.
Of course this isn’t true, but it can be the source of a stressful feeling. In this workshop we will talk about the origin of the stress and you will learn how to deal better with this pressure. We will also define what your first step can be to start looking for that graduate job, internship or project.

Workshop What really motivates me?
During your studies you might get to know more and more about the skills, knowledge and qualities you have, which can contribute to a job or the labor market after graduation. It might however not be so clear yet what really motivates you. In the workshop “What really motivates you?” you will gain more insight into your motives. It is the goal of this workshop to gain an insight in your motives; that what intrinsically motivates you to do what you do. This information about yourself could help you making study and career related decisions and could help you as well to more easily being able to explain to others what you want. This could benefit the process of writing a cover letter or could help you during a job interview. In an interactive way and with the help of a fascinating exercise, in this workshop you will get to know what motivates you, leaving the workshop with a personal list of motives.
