Workshops 4 April
This workshop is part of the Leiden University Career Event and will be presented by Eva van der Meer, from Career Services.
How to get a better understanding of your career options? What can you do during your study program to create a clearer picture of a job that suits you? The idea that everyone around you has answers to these questions, can be a source of a stressful feeling. In this workshop we will talk about what career planning is and what you can do yourself to prepare yourself for that next step. We will also highlight how to deal with the pressure that can accompany this process.
For students enrolled at Leiden University and alumni up to one year after graduation. This workshop will be in English.

This workshop is part of the Leiden University Career Event and will be presented by Maud Albers, from Mentor Network Leiden University.
Do you get nervous thinking about networking? Are you thinking of people wearing suits, formal settings and awkward conversations? Then this workshop might change your view of what networking is and how you already have a valuable network to draw from.
This interactive workshop consists of three parts. First, we will discuss our own experiences with networking, after which we will do a ‘Live Linkedin’ session. Lastly, the Mentor Network will be introduced, and you will get the opportunity to create an account on the platform and connect with a mentor of your choice!
For students enrolled at Leiden University and alumni up to one year after graduation. This workshop will be in English.

The end of your academic career is approaching, and what now? Would you like to stay in the Netherlands, or will you move back home? Do you want to do a search internship/traineeship, or do I want to pursue a professional career? In this session, deep-dive into how to apply and work as an international student in the Netherlands. We will touch upon the dos and don'ts of the Dutch Working Place culture. What steps do you need to take to kickstart your professional career in the Netherlands, and how will you adapt to the "broodje kaas" business culture - these are all fundamental questions we will talk about during this session.
