Please note: As the speaker has been unable to give the workshop, it has been postponed to Thursday 21 November. 

Knowing your own skills, knowledge, and values boosts your self-confidence and is crucial for many aspects of your job search and application. It enables you to identify relevant job opportunities more easily, write stronger cover letters and resumes, and present yourself more convincingly in interviews. In this workshop, we’ll explore:

• What are competencies and why is it important to know them?
• Your individual life profile: How can you derive personal values and competencies from your own biography?
• Identifying and articulating your competencies: How do you find the right words to talk about your skills?
• Strategies for further developing your competencies: building on your strengths and acquiring new ones.

We’ll focus on your unique situation, personal experiences, and strengths. Through interactive exercises, you'll create your individual competency profile. We’ll work together in small groups and individual reflection so that by the end of the day, you can confidently say, "I know what I can do!"
