Job Interviews and Salaries for a Career Beyond Academia

Course Description

In the live webinars we will talk about typical salaries for job starters and criteria which can influence the salary. We will practice a salary calculation method you can use to determine a salary for a specific position. At the end various research options are introduced which you can use to find out more about a company's internal salary structure.

In a self-study training you will get general information about your preparation for job interviews, including suitable clothing, time of arrival and research about the company. You will learn more about the classical interview structure and receive advice for a professional self-introduction and special interview situations such as online or by telephone.

Subsequently, a video seminar explains the correct way to proceed in a salary negotiation, including typical mistakes and alternative options to substitute a lower payment. In a follow-up workshop we will work out answers for typical questions a recruiter asks you during the interview. In further small-group practices you can exercise your self-presentation and get feedback.
