Dual Career Support (DCS) is organizing “Individual job application sessions with a career coach” for our job seeking DCS participants. If you are a job seeker needing individual assistance in your job application, please sign up for our upcoming one-on-one session with a job coach.
What to expect?
During the session, you may get advice on your CV, motivation letter and your LinkedIn profile. Each session will last up to 30 min and once you sign up, you will be assigned a specific time slot and meeting location.
Please note that since we have limited time available for individual sessions, those who have attended our “CV and Cover letter” and “LinkedIn” trainings will receive priority to participate.
If you sign up for an individual session, you are expected to show up and come prepared with your questions. Since this is highly sought after service, you can sign up for only one session at a time. If you cannot come for some reason after signing up, please contact us at dualcareer rug.nl as soon as possible. This way we can free up the opportunity for other interested candidates.
