Solliciteren met een functiebeperking | April 20

This event will be in Dutch, but translates to: ‘Applying with a disability’. It will be a seminar giving you practical tips as well as insights in how to ‘sell’ your disability. The Career Services, together with Stichting Studeren en Werken op Maat have invited people from the RUG and beyond to speak about the job application process, the RUG facilities and personal development. You can also bring your CV for checking and there is the opportunity to talk to the keynote speakers.

They will also be focussing on the job application process and aspects like LinkedIn and CV.

Beside the lectures and seminars there will be a Career Fair outside on the Harmony Square where both alumni and companies are ready to talk to you about your future career. And there is even more, you can also get your professional LinkedIn picture taken and let your CV be checked.

Career Month Law |April 24-May 19

The faculty of Law is devoting a whole month on their students’ career (and rightly so we think of course!). They have a ton of workshops on how to create a good cv, Linkedin profile and cover letter, but also webinars and seminars. Furthermore they will provide training on job interviews and assessments. While job interviews are a classic part of a solicitation more and more companies also use assessments to test whether a candidate is suitable for a function. This is your opportunity to participate in simulations of job interviews and assessments!
