Foreword Chairman
IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU During my years of studying at the TU/e I have questioned myself numerous times with the following: “Why did I choose to study here?”. The answer to this question has two parts: firstly, I am interested in the deeper mechanics of the world we live in. Secondly, the knowledge gathered at Eindhoven University of Technology provides for great opportunities in your future. Consequently, you have the freedom of choosing your own path after graduation. However, like the solution to any exam problem you face, your future will not reveal itself effortlessly. You have given yourself the chance to design your own professional career. But it can feel as if you are left in the dark when you are figuring out how to do so. We, the Wervingsdagen Committee, strive to light up the search for your future career path. Our different events are all focused on facilitating your professional development and network, enabling you to make a smooth transition from student to employee. On the 6th and 7th of March the Career Expo takes place. Here we provide you with the means to contact first employers and have first interviews. The Interviewing Days are scheduled from the 30th of April until the 3rd of May. This event intends to provide you in-depth with conversations with participating businesses. But first we proudly present you the Skill Sessions. With more workshops than ever before this is a great opportunity to start or continue developing yourself on a personal and professional level. In this brochure you can find all available workshops and lectures of this year, so you can choose the ones that suit you best. We hope to welcome you at the Skill Sessions!

Foreword Rector Magnificus
BUILDING YOUR FUTURE, STEP BY STEP We in the Eindhoven Brainport region have a strong reputation when it comes to our networking skills. Combined with the Eindhoven ecosystem of high tech industry, it provides us with a unique position as a university. 61 years ago Eindhoven University of Technology arose from the need for highly skilled engineers in this region. It’s no coincidence that for years now, TU/e is ranked worldwide #1 university in its scientific research in cooperation with the industry.
You as a student and as representatives and participants of the Wervingsdagen are part of this constellation. During the so-called ‘Wervingsdagen’ both students and companies are offered the opportunity to make acquainted with each other. Let’s be honest: this is what it’s all about. This is why you chose TU/e in the first place: to become a top notch engineer and make a career out of your ambitions. Eindhoven University of Technology finds itself amongst the top-150 universities worldwide, according to the World University Ranking. As the rector magnificus of this university I realize what a giant step it is: finding your first job. First of all, you have to figure out what makes you tick. Is it the technology that drives you? Do you have a hardcore scientific researcher in you? Are you totally passionate about the future of the planet and sustainable solutions for energy-matters? That is for you to find out in the few years you get to spend at TU/e. All I can tell you, is that the world lies at your feet. Don’t be afraid of failure. Everybody has been there when it comes to making errors. As a student you can broaden your horizons and grow as a person. And as Ralph Nader, American activist, politician, author and lecturer said: your best teacher is your last mistake. So make good use of the Wervingsdagen and challenge yourself. For you are the engineer of the future.

WHY VISIT A WORKSHOP? During the Skills Sessions the Wervingsdagen offers students of the Eindhoven University of Technology various free workshops. These workshops help students with their personal development and build a foundation for their life during and after their studies.

The Skill Sessions offer you the opportunity to get the most out of your career life, both during and after your study. The Skill Sessions program focuses on many different aspects. Some workshops will prepare you for job application procedures, such as writing a resume and preparing for a job interview. Next to this, we offer workshops that will help your presenting skills, your planning skills and other business related skills. For example, a workshop focusing on the different aspects of getting things done, will teach you which methods ďŹ t within different business structures and which method suits you best. There will always be one workshop that suits you. Participating in these workshops is easy, so apply before December 3 and light up your future!

THE ART OF CHOOSING
WORKSHOP
How do you choose? Every day we make hundreds of choices which shape your life. Are you living a worthwhile life? Do you make the right choices? Do you doubt sometimes? You will actively work on personal and practical strategies to help you make choices in life. The workshop is designed for people who are willing to reflect deeply, who are not afraid to challenge themselves and who dare ask themselves: “”what do I really base my choices on?”” During the workshop you develop a personal vision that you can weigh your choices against. Then we will bring these lessons into practice through a personal case, such as a choice about your career, relationships, or anything else. You will develop practical strategies that will help in making important choices. Finally, we will look at the ethics of choosing. Every choice you make has a consequence. During this workshop we will look at the questions like: How can one make the “”right”” choices? How do you avoid making important decisions on autopilot? When to follow the beaten track and when not to? How to make ethical and moral choices? Choosing requires personal and practical wisdom. We will let go of how you are ‘supposed’ to be and help you find your own wisdom.

THE ESSENCE OF A POWERFUL PRESENTATION This workshop goes beyond what you’ve probably already read on the internet. Yes, your public speaking skills, body language and presentation slides have a large impact on the effect of your training. However, in the end the message is what matters the most. Therefore, in this workshop you will learn how to shape your message, in order to: - Create (sustainable) engagement and interaction with your audience; - Bring a message in an inspiring manner, even when your audience isn’t feeling the energy (yet!) - Master the basics of storytelling. Do you remember the legendary presentation Steve Jobs gave when introducing the iPhone? It had an enormous impact. Unlike Steve Jobs’ presentation, most presentations are about more ‘common’ projects, products, reports and even about ourselves. Even though this might sound ‘less exciting’, it doesn’t have to be the case. Do you want to learn how to shape your message in such a way it inspires your audience? Then this workshop might give you the insights you are looking for. The focus of this workshop will be on bringing the message, not on the communication skills. This 3-hour workshop combines a presentation with practice; together with other participants you will put your acquired knowledge into practice by shaping the message of your presentations.

DEBATE – MAKING YOUR INPUT MATTER How do you make sure your input matters? You may be brilliant in your field, come up with the greatest ideas, but you’ll still need to convince your client, partner or boss your solution is the right one. We’re here to make sure your input gets valued the way it should be. What do you think of when you hear the word “debate”? Maybe you consider it a dull affair, something for grey politicians or boring television programs. To us, however, debate is a highly challenging mental discipline, combining logical and rhetorical skills. It teaches skills that you can apply in professional situations, such as presentations, meetings or interviews. Furthermore, it’s a very fun activity, where both wit and preparation are valuable. Join us in this workshop, where you will learn how to persuade others, to construct your arguments carefully, and improve your public speaking skills. Discover how to captivate your audience, how to look and act confident throughout your presentation. Learn how to use emotion in debate while staying rational, and keep your speeches structured.

LATEX
WORKSHOP
TeX is a (free) text typesetter from 1978, which still is the standard in the academic world. TeX and LaTeX are often used for reports, papers, books, magazines and scientific articles, since it offers unlimited possibilities for creating formulas, graphs or presenting data, and because the rendering of normal text is nicer than Word’s. Since TeX is a complete programming language, it is very easy to create your own commands and scripts, and often used elements can be automated quickly. In this beginner’s course we will dive into LaTeX and you will learn how to easily create a report or other document. No previous experience or knowledge is required.

ETIQUETTE DINNER To establish professional relationships with one other we must communicate with the appropriate etiquette. When you’re going to a business lunch or dinner with recruiters, clients or partners you make sure you behave properly; good table manners will open doors that the best education cannot. Like it or not, management equates good manners with competence in business and poor manners with incompetence. How convenient it is when you know where to put your cell phone during dinner, what to wear at a cocktail party or what to say at the beginning of a dinner. Confidence comes with knowledge. During this interactive workshop we provide guidelines for eating appropriately; dining in style and tell you all you what to know about dining etiquette, dress codes, conversation both verbal and nonverbal and practise these rules during this most pleasant dinner. Knowing and using good table manners is an important social skill. We want you to enjoy lunch and dinner meetings, establish a professional image to business relations family and friends. Program: history of table etiquette, rules during dinner, ABC table etiquette, hostmanship, attire and dress codes, meet and greet, communication.

TALK LIKE TED TED talks are immensely popular. The format seems to become a norm for presenting on conferences and in board rooms. It is a very effective way of presenting when communicating with a more general audience, because it focusses less on actual content, but more on personal involvement, idealism and inspiration. What does this ask from you as a presenter? How do you make the leap from explaining to inspiring? How do you become personal and get a real grip on your audience? This is what you can learn and experience during this workshop. Be prepared to stretch your comfort zone and talk like TED.

BEAT THE BIAS: RECOGNIZING ERRORS IN YOUR THINKING Are you aware of your own biases and blind spots? Psychologists have compiled a huge list of errors in thinking in recent years that even the most intelligent people may not be aware of. During this training, we treat the most important ones and you will take a critical look at yourself. What biases do you have about yourself, other people and the world? What decisions do you base on false grounds? What unwarranted judgments and conclusions do you draw about the world around you? At the end of this training you might have to revisit a lot of your ideas! But, knowledge of these thinking errors enables you to argue sharply and make better decisions! This training welcomes anyone who is not afraid to learn to think more critically.

MEMORY TECHNIQUES Our memory is really a phenomenon. Every second of every day it does miracles. However, we do not realize that. Every part of our live relies on our memory. Whether we walk, study, relax or work, our memory is always working. Our memory strikes matters. She archives, sorts and filters huge amounts of information. Why then a memory training? Our memory “sometimes lets us down”. What’s his name again?, Where did I leave it?, How was that again?, etc.?
9.00-12.00
In this training we will take a test of everyone after which we will explain what memory is, how it works, how to structure and improve it.

EFFICIENT STUDYING
WORKSHOP
Time management = Dealing with time wisely! Quickly copying your thesis, rushing to another building after a meeting for an appointment with a fellow student and not eating a sandwich in between as you don’t have time for a break. Oh, tomorrow, an exam, completely forgotten! How often does a day go like this? Too often? Then maybe it’s time to do something about it by learning to manage your time. What is time management? David Allen is clear about the term: “You can’t manage time. You can only manage actions.” You can’t get 25 hours out of a day. But you can make a difference in what you do in one day. There are various courses, tools and methods in the field of time management. You will learn more skills in planning tasks and activities, and you will learn to structure the available time purposefully and effectively. With your agenda as a starting point, you will learn to efficiently spend your time so you can reach your deadlines. In addition to the way you organize your time, time management is about yourself and what goals you want to accomplish in the time you have. In this workshop, we will focus on how time management can help you. Furthermore, it will give an insight into yourself by finding your strengths and weaknesses.

ABOUT THE TRAINER
In the field of management, consulting, training and coaching I have gained a lot of experience within the Rabobank and previously at Adecco Personnel Services. During my career, I soon noticed where my passion lies: the person in the organization. Developing talent is the thread of my career, the development in both myself and other people. I have put this passion and expertise into action to contribute to the improvement of employees so that the goals and ambitions within an organization can be realized. In early 2016, I decided to leave the Rabobank and to start as an independent entrepreneur. I focused myself as a business partner, consultant & coach in Eindhoven and the surrounding area. I work for the Summa College at the Center for Entrepreneurship, and I give mini-masters to the MKB in the field of HR. In addition, I coach a number of MKB entrepreneurs and I advise them with the translation of their mission and vision into HR spearheads. I enjoy making people aware of their talents and help them to develop these.

GOOD MANNERS MEAN GOOD BUSINESS
WORKSHOP
Understanding attitudes and values can be of significant importance if you wish to communicate with your counterparts effectively. Desiderius Erasmus told us already that lack of courtesy and respect can be a serious problem. The image of the company you work for, your image matters when you are working in a professional environment. During the interactive workshop we make you aware of the impact and effects of appropriate behaviour when doing business. Like it or not, management equates good manners with competence in business and poor manners with incompetence. Etiquette alone will not enable you reach your goal; it will give the extra edge between you and the competion. Confidence comes with knowledge. During this interactive workshop we define professional behaviour and give guidelines for appearance actions and attitude in a business environment. At the menu we have the ABC rules of conduct, Meeting etiquette, hostmanship and hospitality, social sensitivity, nonverbal communication, attending a conference or meeting, business dress and grooming, office courtesy, written communication manners, verbal en non-verbal etiquette, dining in style and tell you all you what to know about email diplomacy best behaviour and politeness. We practise these rules together in an informal setting.

HOW DO I START A FUTURE-PROOF COMPANY? Many companies get their profits from business that didn’t existed a decade ago, but grew very fast. The fastest growing companies are companies that make use of other people’s possessions, talent and don’t have that many staff, which are the network conductors such as thuisafgehaald.nl, Airbnb, etc. Anno 2017, customers are more organized through forums and networks, and more than ever aware of their role. A purchase becomes a customers journey and the authenticity of a company counts more and more. Innovations are gaining momentum and impact on marketing, organizations and society. You can ask yourself: How do I create growth that is future-proof? Growth is accompanied by changes, but changing is not an event. How do you and how does your (future) organization deals with these changes? These questions will all be discussed during the workshop. Afterwards, you will get an overview of the New Business Models in the WEconomy using many practical examples. You will learn to look through other glasses at the business. In addition, it will be linked to starting an own company, and we will start working on the following: Where can we create multiple value? If you are looking for information about the financial side of starting an own company or with which agencies, such as the Kamer van Koophandel, you have to deal with, the workshop “Start an own business? What does it mean?” will help in providing you with this kind of information.
