Workshop “Self-Promotion sheet” – Super relevant material for PhD student’s job hunting(10/26)

*This event is recommended for participation by EXEX Doctoral Fellowship students. (However, no curriculum points will be awarded.)
———————————————————————
Effective self-presentation in the employment selection process is quite different from presenting research at academic conferences. Appropriate self-presentation is essential, especially if you are aiming for a position in a Japanese company.
As a PhD student, you are certainly expected to have specialized expertise, but you are also expected to present your research clearly and demonstrate how you can apply the various skills you have developed through your research.
This workshop is designed to strengthen your self-presentation skills in a practical way. It will cover how to summarize your research so it is clear and compelling to employers, as well as how to highlight strengths beyond your area of expertise.
We look forward to your participation, regardless of your academic year or field of study.
