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!
