• What is a case interviewWant to start your career with confidence and beat your career saboteurs? Saboteurs are limiting beliefs, that are holding you back from career success. They try to convince you that you should or will not succeed. Their purpose is to keep you safely in your comfort zone. And the magic happens elsewhere: Careers thrive in places that encourage learning and growth. Are you ready to ditch your saboteurs and start relying on curiosity, compassion and creativity for your next career step?
In this workshop you will explore one of your saboteurs and how it affects the way you think, feel and act. You will then replace this saboteur belief with a more constructive ‘inner advisor’.
How do you decide if a job is right for you? What aspect of the job should you consider? Finding your ideal job starts with an understanding of who you are - your personality, personal & professional talents and preferences - and how you would like to apply these in a job. In this interactive workshop you will translate your unique personality, expertise and interests into a ‘blueprint of your ideal job’.
The workshop is divided into 2 sessions:
Session 1 (Date, time):
• Gain insights into your personalitySession 2 (Date, time):
• What are elements of your ideal job?Have you ever considered story-telling to find out what career path to choose? We use stories to make sense of the world and other people. Why not think about your own story, when you want to understand yourself more completely? Knowing and telling your own story will give you a clearer sense of direction and purpose. Career stories are particularly valuable in guiding you through career changes or transitions, such as starting your career after graduation.
In this workshop, we will use the unconventional and fun method of ‘Career Story Interviewing’ to create your personal story: A story that expresses who you are as a person, and how you want to use work in a way that allows you to fully be yourself. By answering unexpected questions about past and current preferences, you will identify the ingredients for a meaningful story about your career plans and decision-making.
