Mon Feb 10, 2014 workshop “Beyond the obvious: Strategic thought on job applications”

Dear Life Scientists of Lausanne,

Have you ever wondered if,

1. Spending all these long hours in the lab is actually going to be enough to get you to the next step of your career?

2. You can communicate your scientific skills in a simple yet discernible way?

3. Your CV could look any more attractive than a pile of CVs stacked on your potential employer’s desk?

Ms. Monika Clausen has an answer for these questions! Ms. Clausen is an expert on development of transferable skills, specializing particularly in Career transition and training. She is a part of a group called Transition Weavers based in Switzerland.
