Workshop: Building your Career Strategy in Academia & Beyond: The Lucky Mindset, Dr Anne Schreiter
Success in academia and beyond isn’t just about doing excellent work – it’s also about being ready for unexpected opportunities. In this talk, we’ll explore how to identify your values, strengths, and transferable skills, and how to use storytelling and networking to increase your visibility.
You’ll learn how to craft an authentic career strategy, position yourself for serendipitous opportunities, and explore both traditional and creative application approaches. There will be time for your questions, too.
