Career Navigator

Introducing "My Individual Career Navigator”

Navigating your career path during your PhD or Postdoc can be overwhelming. What are your options? Where do you start? Who can you turn to for advice?

The Career Navigator can focus on different career paths - Academia, Industry, Science Management. Especially with regard to academic careers, important supporting interfaces at Forschungszentrum Jülich will be included and can be considered.

Our "My Individual Career Navigator" program is designed to guide you through the complexities of career planning. Over the course of three (+) personalized sessions, you'll receive tailored support to help you chart your course. Here's what you can expect:

1. First Session: Define Your Goals and Reflect on Past Experiences

We'll work together to establish your objectives for this process and review your past work experiences. What were the highlights? What did you enjoy? What would you prefer to avoid in the future?

2. Intermediate Sessions: Assess Your Current Status
3. Final Session: Develop a Concrete Action Plan

Time Commitment:

Each session is two hours long, with a minimum of three sessions spread over about three months. You'll also have light exercises to complete in preparation for each meeting.

What Sets "My Individual Career Navigator" Apart?

Unlike general career counselling, which covers a broad range of topics in a flexible format, the Career Navigator is a structured program with defined stages and topics, offered by the Career Center and Postdoc Office. This program is distinct from career planning workshops as it is entirely individualized, with all sessions scheduled at your convenience.

Embark on your career journey with confidence and clarity with "My Individual Career Navigator." Tailored to your unique goals and timeline, this program is your personalized guide through the career planning jungle.

The Career Navigator is a new offer of the Career Center & Postdoc Office, next to our regular career counselling sessions. You can still book individual consultations on all career related topics, such as preparing for job applications, concrete next career steps or similar – as before. Schedule a meeting today!
