An occupation in research and teaching, a career in industry, in the service sector, or in non-profit organisations – after the doctorate there are numerous professional fields and career paths open on the international labour market.

But what does it take to obtain an attractive position – maybe even in a field or branch I have no experience with? The basis for successful applications is some understanding of professional application standards in & outside academia and the current trends in the application process.


The following topics are covered:

  • My qualification profile: How do I show my potential?
  • The labour market in & outside academia: Desirable and realistic career pathways
  • Job search: What exactly does it mean?
  • Application dossier: Current standards
  • English applications: What is different?
  • The interview: From individual interview to assessment centre
  • Pecunia non olet: Skilful salary negotiations
  • Job applications: My next steps
