In the search for a dream job - discovering your own potential.


In the search for a dream job - discovering your own potential.

Werniewicz, K.

Getting a job in today’s extremely competitive world is not a trivial task. Getting a job which in parallel meets your interest, field of expertise and overall skills as well as satisfying your ambitions and financial expectations, is a real challenge.
Luckily most of us do enjoy the challenging tasks and if we are armed with an excellent education, curiosity for life, and desire for further self-development, the challenges tend to motivate rather than hinder us in advancing our goals. A final measure of your success will be your own satisfaction.
The following workshop attempts to demonstrate the opportunities and tools available to young academics for their career development. These include:

  • Career path selection – making the most of your potential
  • Mobility – building an international career
  • Do I have the skill set and expertise people are looking for? – expanding your professional and interpersonal skills via diverse trainings
  • Job adverts - getting lucky in your job search
  • Shaping the future – preparing a career strategy, and finally
  • How to turn an initial failure into an ultimate success
These aspects will all be discussed and illustrated by examining my own experiences.
The most important message to be delivered by this workshop is that in chasing your dreams for a perfect job you must not fear changes. Only through exploring new areas, listing to your own needs and constructively responding to them, will you be able to find a position that suits you.
Remember, you always have a choice!
