I-HoP:Workshop “Self Promotion sheet” – Super relevant material for PhD student’s job hunting(9/14)

I-HoP:Workshop “Self Promotion sheet” – Super relevant material for PhD student’s job hunting(9/14)

Effective self-presentation in the employment selection process is quite different from research presentation at conferences. Appropriate self-presentation is essential, especially if you are aiming for a job in a Japanese company.

As a PhD student, you will certainly be expected to have specialties, but you will also be expected to be able to present your research clearly and apply the various skills you have developed through your research.

This workshop is designed to strengthen your self-presentation in a practical way, including how to summarize your research in a way that is easy and effective to convey to employers, and appealing points other than your expertise.

We look forward to your participation, regardless of your academic year or field of study.

Doctoral Consultant / Hokkaido University

The lecturer has been providing career support specifically to PhDs and PhD candidates for over 15 years. He has launched and developed several job-hunting services specialized in PhDs. Although he and his company mainly focus on the matching between PhDs and companies, since they have a broad network of companies and stakeholders in academia, they support the career development in academia as well.

He is also engaged in a project by universities as well as MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) on career advice including internship, job search and one-to-one career consulting for PhDs and PhD students. He has been actively pursuing the cultivation of human resources for high-skilled people with a holistic insight among industry-academic-government.
