Career workshop: Discover and describe your competence

This is the first of three career workshops for PhD fellows and postdocs at HF. Learn more about how you can become aware of your own competence and discover what opportunities you have to find a relevant job in the future.

As a researcher, you become a specialist in your field and you gain a lot of theoretical knowledge about the topic of your research. But remember that your competence consists of more than specialist knowledge! In this workshop you will learn how to start with your own competence mapping.

You will get tools to become aware of:

  • Transferable skills you get from being a researcher
  • Your strengths and personal characteristics
  • Results you have achieved and how to put them into words

Kick-start your own competence mapping together with other researchers, so that you are well prepared for your next job change.

The workshop lasts for 3 hours, followed by lunch at 12:00-13:00.

Language

The course language is English, unless all participants understand and speak Norwegian.

Registration

The workshop is open to all PhDs and postdocs at the Faculty of Humanities. It is part of a pilot project and the number of participants is therefore limited to 10 people.
