Participant comments
1st
- I was able to think about how I could use the concrete subject of my research to promote something abstract about myself.
- Who is the audience and what is expected of them? Job hunting and academic conferences are very different, and it was helpful to learn that the way you present will change based on that.
- It was clearly explained what companies are looking for and what kind of explanation you should give to convey your research capabilities.
- I learned that presentations during job hunting are also an opportunity to demonstrate the research capabilities and research activities you are conducting.
2nd
- In the past, when I gave research presentations during my job search, I would go into too much detail about the research content in order to specifically explain the "ways I devised to advance my research." However, I realized that I should instead explain my universal skills and the way I think and approach research.
- I learned that what you need to emphasize in a regular research presentation and in a research presentation required for job hunting is different. In a job hunting presentation, it's important to not just introduce your research, but also to show your technical skills and experience overcoming difficulties in research, so that the other party can imagine what it would be like to be successful in a company.
- I learned a lot about how to introduce my research and promote myself within the limited time (3 minutes in this seminar). I gained a deeper understanding of the importance of understanding research capabilities from a company's perspective and the type of personnel companies are looking for.
