What are my competencies? How do I find suitable jobs? And how can I present myself well and coherently in conversation? If these questions also concern you, then the Career Booster could be the appropriate event for you. Our three "Food for Thoughts" will guide you step by step on your way to a successful application.

Fragen Sie sich, ob das, was Sie beruflich anstreben, das ist, was sie wirklich wollen? Vielleicht fragen Sie sich aber auch, wie Sie Ihre privaten Wünsche mit den beruflichen Anforderungen zusammenbringen können? Ganz gleich, ob Sie manchmal zweifeln oder sich sicher sind, was Ihren beruflichen Weg angeht…manchmal ist es wohltuend und nützlich einen Schritt zurückzutreten und sich bewusst zu machen, was alles Sie auf Ihrem Weg bereits geschafft haben und wo Sie auf dem Weg grade unterwegs sind. Das motiviert, klärt, schafft einen Überblick und ermöglicht rechtzeitige Kursänderungen.

In diesem Workshop gehen wir Karriereplanung ganzheitlich an. Das bedeutet, die persönliche Entwicklung im Kontext der individuellen Biographie und der Gegenwart zu reflektieren. So können Stärken und Wünsche zu Tage treten und Orientierung für den weiteren Weg bieten. Die „Antworten“ oder mögliche Perspektiven entwickeln Sie somit selbst. Die Gruppe bietet dafür den notwendigen Resonanzraum.

In diesem Workshop ...

• erstellen Sie eine Standortbestimmung – „Wo stehe ich? Wo will ich hin? Passt das eigentlich?“


• reflektieren Sie Ihren bisherigen Werdegang.


• verbinden Sie Aspekte von beruflicher und privater Lebensplanung.


• werden Sie sich bewusst (noch bewusster), was genau Ihre Wünsche oder Vorlieben sind.


• tauschen Sie Erfahrungen mit anderen Promovierenden und Postdocs aus.


• erhalten Sie Unterstützung beim Formulieren Ihrer Ziele, um die nächsten Schritte zu tun.

Werden konkrete Jobempfehlungen gegeben?
Der Ansatz des Workshops ist ein anderer. Es geht darum, in der Auseinandersetzung mit dem eigenen Werdegang und der gegenwärtigen Situation selbst Ideen zu generieren, die zu einem passen.

Zeitaufwand
Vor dem ersten Termin am 02.02.2024 werden individuelle Telefontermine (45 - 60 Min.) mit der Trainerin durchgeführt (ab dem 29.01.2024). Am ersten Termin kommt die Gruppe von 09:00-18:00 Uhr zusammen. Der letzte Termin am 09.02.2024 findet ebenfalls von 09:00 - 18:00 Uhr statt.

Integrating design thinking into universities equips its members with the tools and mindset to navigate, adapt, and innovate in an ever-changing world. Design Thinking is a systematic approach to complex problems that is based on user orientation. Ideas are developed at the interface between people, the environment and technology, consistently focusing on people with their needs, motivations, and problems. The iterative nature of design thinking means that solutions are not set in stone.

When applied to universities, design thinking can address a myriad of challenges and opportunities. Universities are vast ecosystems with various departments and disciplines. Design thinking encourages collaboration across these disciplines, leading to richer, more holistic solutions to complex problems. Or design thinking can be used to come up with innovative solutions to campus challenges: Whether it is enhancing campus life, improving the interfaces between scientists and research managers, or making administrative processes more efficient. Design thinking can lead to fresh, effective solutions.

This workshop was created in collaboration with Department 4 "Research Management and Funding" and is designed for Research and Hgher Education Managers working at the Universität Hamburg.

Note: There will be an "Advanced Design Thinking" workshop in October 2024. Attendance will only be possible for participants of one of the three "Design Thinking" workshops before.

Preparations
We want to convey design thinking learning by doing. Thus, we teach all methods along the design thinking process. A design thinking process starts with a challenge. Maybe you have a challenge that is not too technical or complex but open enough to allow for creative solutions in a research environment. You can use this link to hand in the challenge.

Doctoral and Postdoctoral Researchers face several uncertainties and challenges regarding their plans for the future. When you choose academia, non-permanent contracts are common and the pressure to create excellent results is high. If you want to leave the system, uncertainty may be given through a new environment and unknown expectations. Navigating through these uncertainties successfully helps you to unlock your resources and make profound and satisfying decisions.

The Human Resources Development department organizes two online seminars with Dr. Desiree Dickerson, to provide some insights into the topic of uncertainty and on how to navigate through these. We will also introduce the psychological counseling for doctoral researchers as well as the personal counseling for early career researchers, provided by the Universität Hamburg after the presentation by Dr. Dickerson.

Uncertainty can lead to pressure, blockades and fear that not only influence your daily work but also your decision-making skills regarding your future. Finding your way through this uncertainty, can help you make the right decision regarding your next steps concerning career or other decisions.

In this seminar we explore:

• Give yourself permission to feel uncertain.


• Navigate uncertainty and worry.


• Make micro-changes to maintain a solid emotional and mental foundation.


• Dealing with uncertainty in regard to (career) decision making.
