Get that Job! Applying and Interviewing for Jobs in English (engl.)
Online-Workshop (Zoom)
This workshop is designed for students who wish to apply to English-speaking countries or to English-language job postings and whose native language is not English.
This interactive online workshop focuses on the distinctive aspects of applying for jobs in English, a scenario you may encounter with any firm worldwide which operates internationally. It provides training in navigating selected stages of that process, including building your curriculum vitae and cover letter and presenting yourself convincingly in the interview. We'll examine sample CVs and cover letters, exploring them for guidelines on how to optimize your own credentials for potential employers. In breakout rooms, you'll work with fellow participants in pairs or small groups to practice key principles in an exercise and in a role-play with feedback from your trainer. The virtual format also provides the perfect platform for gaining experience with interviewing online. The workshop's overall goal is to enable you to create effective application materials on your own and to increase your confidence when interviewing in English. You'll receive a .pdf file with example materials as well as other helpful information related to the job-application process.
The workshop is held in English by a native speaker, and participation requires an intermediate level of English or above.
