Self-Check

Please find here the Self-Checks, three tools to support you assessing your profile:

Skill Check: Identify your professional skills, within and beyond the research context.

1. Become aware of your transferable skills. These are often overlooked by scientists, while as a PhD (graduates) you certainly developed a broad spectrum of transferable skills. This PhD skill set is highly valued by employers, so make sure you are aware yourself in the first place.
2. If you already set your career goal, assess here what skills are useful to further improve.

Preference Check: Assess what kind of tasks you preferably would have in your future career.
This allows you to identify jobs of which the content is most aligned with what you fancy doing.
If you are motivated for a certain job but do not yet have the right qualifications, we assume that, as a PhD, you are well able to attain the required level of qualificiations by taking up opportunities or by following specific trainings.

Value Check: Increase awareness on what is important to you, to determine what your ideal work environment would be like. This allows you to evaluate opportunities and explore to uncover opportunities with specific conditions in an informal interview.
