Solliciteren met een Functiebeperking /Applying with a functional impairment - Seminar (Dutch fluency required)
Do you have an impairment and would like some help on how to apply for jobs? Would you like some practical tips on how to sell your impairment? Join us in the event “Applying with a functional impairment” provided by the Career Services of the University of Groningen. On the 25 of May you will get answers to questions like:
- What should you tell or not tell your potential employer about your impairment and when to do so?
- How do you present yourself and your impairment in a way that will help your employer see past it?
- What kind of opportunities do you have and what is the current situation of the labour market for employees with functional impairments?
- What are the qualities and characteristics an employer wants to see in an employee?
Jasper Ebels is an organizational psychologist at AdviesTalent and is born with a visual impairment. He will discuss his own experience in the labour market and provide a lecture on practical issues you should take into account when applying with a functional impairment. He will answer all your questions about finding a job.

The Falling Walls Foundation covers the accommodation for the 8-9 November in Berlin. Also, all participants of the Finale receive a ticket for the Falling Walls Conference. Applications can be made through the website. The Application Deadline closes by May 20th. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us (fallingwalls rug.nl)
Our New Workshops
Since the start of the second semester, we have been offering 2 new workshops: Self Analysis for Career Orientation, and Negotiating & Convincing. Both are very popular among students, so we are planning on continuing these in the future. You can join the Self Analysis workshop if you're interested in finding out more about your qualities, skills and values so that you finally have a good answer to the number 1 recruiter question: tell me something about yourself. For those who want to know more about salary negotiations, or those who already have an interview coming up, the Negotiating & Convincing workshop gives you more insight in the do's and don'ts of this game. Participants are very excited about the practical case that is included in this workshop, where we are simulating an actual salary negotiating setting! There are still some places available for the negotiating workshop on 17 April. The self analysis workshop on 19 April is fully booked, but keep an eye on our website and facebook page to see when the next ones take place. Of course we have many more workshops that you can join, all for free. We hope to see you soon!
