WORKSHOP: LOOKING FOR WORK AROUND THE GLOBE | LEIDEN UNIVERSITY

Nannette Ripmeester will deliver the workshop ”Looking for work around the Globe” for LLM international students of Leiden University. This interactive workshop is aimed at bringing clarity to early career development for  students that are looking for work around the Globe.

After the workshop, participants will understand the role cultural differences play in CV writing, how to apply in a foreign country knowing what is required by employers in other countries, which application methods work best, what skill sets make employers tick, what to mention in your CV whether it is for a job in Sweden, Germany or Spain. This will give students a better picture of what to expect and how to move forward with their international career.

But apart from the practicalities around job hunting, we also look into intercultural differences in job searching and doing business around the globe with the help of the employability game, CareerProfessor.works.

Key learnings:

• Working for an NGO/Law firm/Financial Organisation
• Challenges that COVID brings, but also its opportunities
• Information about recruitment culture around the globe (Practical information about interviews such as the type of questions asked, how to make a good CV, assessments) and preparation for online interviews
• Finding work as an International student
• How do I sell myself and the programme I’m following to an employer
• and Networking.
