Foreword Chairman

BORIS ZWAAN ou as a student are unique. After Y you’ve graduated, you have obtained a set of knowledge, provided by the university. But it is your creativity, with your unique capabilities and skills, which can transfer this knowledge into beautiful things in your future career. Therefore, the importance of knowing yourself, your unique set of capabilities and skills, is of great importance. Knowing which skills you haven’t obtained yet, you want to learn or improve, might be even more important. You’ve got to find your footprint from a career point of view. The path you can follow with the skills you’re good at or want to improve. The path that will eventually lead you to your future dream job. The Skill Sessions by Wervingsdagen are here to help you with that. This year, we’re organizing over 60 professional trainings, with a great variety especially for you, the student of Eindhoven University of Technology. The trainings will definitely give new insights on your skillset and expand them and help you find that footprint. On the 10th and 11th of March, Wervingsdagen organizes one of the biggest career events in the Netherlands; the Career Expo. During the Career Expo 150+ companies will present themselves and are curious to get in contact with you! This is the perfect opportunity for you to orient yourself for your future career, find the first contacts with employees, or participate in company Speed Dates! Later on, you can take the next step and visit the Interviewing Days from 20 till 24 April. Here you can get to know companies better through in-depth interviews, lunches or dinners. Or get a sneak-peak of a company by participating in a Company Case. Opening this booklet and subscribing for the Skill Sessions is already a first step on finding your footprint. Think good about who you are, the things you want to improve and how you want to broaden yourself and you will find your footprint! We are very happy and keen to welcome you at the Skill Sessions!

Foreword Rector Magnificus

FIND YOUR FOOTPRINT AT THE SKILL SESSIONS Obviously, everybody wants to leave behind a footprint that lasts. To leave a legacy, however small or insignificant to some, might in fact be for you and many others most fulfilling. Making an impact that matters, that is what we all are trying to achieve. In my position as Rector Magnificus and as Professor at TU/e, I am privileged to meet and talk to many of you students. During those encounters, I am always fascinated by the sheer enthusiasm and positive spirits I receive from you. Yes, many of you spend a lot of time nowadays on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube or other online platforms that seem designed to distract you from everyday life. But still, when faced with a specific challenge, an exciting opportunity or a complex problem, you immediately get energized and are able to hyperfocus and cooperate intensely with others simultaneously. Truly amazing. This talent, and raw energy, is extremely useful to shape your career, to define ánd fulfill your own purpose in life. And it is up to you to utilize the right tools and skills to get where you want. Right now, you are getting ready for the job market. An important step for an almost-graduate, one for which you need to prepare diligently. And actually, the kind of skills that you have acquired in your years at TU/e align very well with the most important skills employers are looking for. According to the 2019 global employer survey of QS, these are: • Complex problem-solving skills • The ability to work in a team • Communication skills During the Skill Sessions of the Wervingsdagen, you will be refining your abilities to effectively communicate with future employers, co-workers and even yourself. Please, take very good caution to these skills, because in the long run they will be a determining factor in finding your right footprint, and making a lasting impact to society.

Prof.dr.ir. Frank Baaijens Rector Magnificus Eindhoven University of Technology

WHY VISIT A WORKSHOP? During the Skill Sessions we, the Board of Wervingsdagen, offer all students of Eindhoven University of Technology a wide variety of workshops.

The Skill Sessions offers you an opportunity to discover new areas of interest and strengthen your abilities. The newly acquired skills can directly be applied to your studies, but also in your approaching career.

This year, the theme is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Find your footprintâ&#x20AC;? Do you ever wonder how you come across and what kind of impact you can make? This year you can discover what your footprint is.

THE ART OF CHOOSING English

Monday 9 December

9:00 - 12:00

How do you choose? Every day we make hundreds of choices. All those big (what will I study?) and small (what will I eat?) choices shape your life and the lives of others. But do you make the right choices? We will look at questions like: How can one make the “right” choices? How do you avoid making important decisions on the autopilot? When to follow the beaten track and when not to? 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?” You will first develop a personal vision that you can use to 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. We will let go of how you are ‘supposed’ to be and help you find your wisdom.

VISUAL INFORMATION English

Monday 9 December

Over 60 percent of our brain activity is dedicated to visual processing. This means our eyes protect us from harm, navigate us through spaces and teach us to recognize objects, people and locations. This remarkable brainpower can be used to communicate countless concepts without even using words or language. Are you looking to give a punch to the way you communicate with teammates, project coaches, and the outside world? Visual communication gives clarity to complicated systems and situations, even across different fields of study.

YAËL VAN ENGELEN I have been creating artworks for a long time, from portraits to comic book drawings. While making these, I experiment a lot with materials and mixing them. Within my Industrial Design master, I try to research the possibilities to explain complicated technological processes in a new and visual way. This is why I am excited to discover how to do this, together with you!

GETTING THINGS DONE Who Needs GTD? Nobody gets a degree in productivity. People are hired for their technical skills and experience—because they know how to develop programs, design products, oversee communications, devise strategies, or lead people. But few—if any—are well versed in workflow management. And when even just a couple of people fumble, their slip-ups significantly and negatively impact stress levels, innovation, execution, and engagement for the rest of the team.

English

Monday 9 December

GTD teaches skilled knowledge workers at every level and in any role how to better get work done so they can effectively put their valuable, technical skills and experience to use.

What Does GTD Workshop Teach?

18:30 - 21:30

In this 3-hour GTD workshop, you get familiar with the GTD methodology and get familiar with the five steps; Capture, Clarify, Organize, Reflect & Engage. It provides skills to increase your focus, prioritize commitments, and achieve stress-free productivity. Turn chaos into control - Participants learn a system to reduce mental clutter and take control of their thoughts and tasks. Align focus and actions - Once in control, participants learn practical skills to reduce decision fatigue and focus on next actions. Increase productive moments - These skills applied consistently to the right tasks and projects create more stress-free, productive moments. Improve individual effectiveness - Productive moments yield increased reliability, efficiency, and effectiveness in the projects and moments that matter most.

DARE TO SAY NO Do you find it hard to say no and do you get flooded with extra work? Or is your no sometimes sharper than you’d really want it to be? Discover in the Training Dare to say ‘no’ why it’s so difficult to reject a request in a clear, but friendly way. A skill that will be useful in your future career in business.

You will learn how to be more assertive and sincere in your communication.

PERSONAL BRANDING WILL GET YOU THE JOB THAT FITS YOU BEST

Dutch Workshop

Finding the ultimate job, internship, projects (as a freelance professional) or clients (if you are an entrepreneur) requires three things; The first thing to do, is to take on the ‘experience mindset’: being good is not always good enough. You need to take on a mindset that triggers you to lead yourself in your professional career and to communicate and express who you are, what you are capable of and why you do what you (want to) do. The second step is to discover and describe what your qualities are and what your added value for others can be. Your qualities consist of your knowledge, skills, values and also products and services you can or would like to deliver. In the final step, you start communicating and expressing who you are, what you are capable of and what you would like to do. Telling people, connecting to relevant people, sharing your knowledge and experience and behaving as your future self. The personal branding workshop will guide you through these three steps. The workshop is an introduction in the personal branding approach to be continued by yourself. The workshop and the personal branding approach is aimed at finding the job, internship, projects or clients you are looking for or being found by and asked by the people and organizations who are looking for you. You will gain the insights and practice actively with techniques to discover, describe, communicate and express who you are and what your relevance for others can be.

WINE TASTING AND ETIQUETTE

Dutch Workshop Dutch

Get the best from wine with Mea’s step by step guide to mastering simple tasting techniques and wine etiquette. The taste of wine workshop is a fun way to learn what you like and what you don’t like; we talk about wine growing, climate, winemaking and explore while tasting the many differences between grapes and nine primary styles of wine. Selecting a good wine for a meal and the occasion can be a challenge, especially for those with limited knowledge. How to read the wine list and what is said on the label, what are the do’s and don’ts while ordering and tasting wine, should I refill my glass myself during dinner and what to expect from a sommelier when the cork of an opened bottle is presented to me. People who are not connoisseurs can learn the basic guidelines, so they can do an adequate job of ordering wine, tasting wine and etiquette.

THE ART OF A REALLY GREAT CONVERSATION

Dutch Workshop

Wednesday 11 December

The Dialogue as a method for a deepening conversation.

18:30 - 21:30

When was the last time you have had a fascinating conversation? We text, chat, meet and discuss quite a lot with each other. However, this is not always with the desired outcome. Besides, we use new technologies to communicate easier, faster and more often, but this also often leads to regular misunderstandings.

Arno Houben

The Dialogue Method is aimed at the Appreciative Inquiry of the perception of others. Excellent listening and asking open questions are essential for this. We shove our own opinions and experiences to the background, causing us to be more open towards the story of the other. This almost automatically creates a trusted connection that forms the basis for a truly personal conversation. The Dialogue is a conversation method to improve your communication skills and to improve your personal and professional relationships. This can help you in making joint decisions, giving advice or finding solutions. But above all, it will strengthen your relationship with others.

With the use of the STAR method, you will learn how to illustrate your competencies and personality traits based upon previous experiences. Last, this training will help you to answer questions during job interviews about your strength and weaknesses.

Smarter than your smartphone. Digital devices can cause a lot of stress. The perfect partner for a potential burn-out. The key to success is to transfer this feeling of digital pressure into digital comfort. “My smartphone, my life”, that’s what a participant said to me during a workshop. This small little piece of electronics, united to her invisibly. • Do you maybe have the feeling that your attention is focused on your devices? • Do you recognize yourself being on your smartphone even though there aren’t any messages, but just to kill time? • Are you distracted easily by the sounds of receiving messages, emails or tags on social media? • Is your smartphone an indispensable piece of your daily workflow and supposedly essential to work? • Or are you just interested in how to reduce your on-screen time? In the workshop “Smarter than your smartphone” an explanation will be made on why we are seduced by these devices and how to break out of an unhealthy relationship with them. You learn about the impacts of these seductions and how to act against it. A digital detox is lying ahead of you, resulting in being in control and making proper use of the technology instead of being a slave of it. You learn on what takes up all your time and can get a better balance between work and private. After the workshop, you have tools to put your focus on the essential work, increase your efficiency and satisfaction of work, create more spare time for yourself, and a cleaned-up digital device. Are you ready to face this challenge and clean up your device?

Also, we will start with digital networking after acquiring the new knowledge learned during a short presentation on the importance of digital networking.

COVER LETTER & CV Once you know what you are good at and what it is you are looking for regarding your career, you will start looking for exciting internships, graduation projects, jobs and other career opportunities. But then how do you write a catchy cover letter, and how do you produce a structured CV? What should be in these documents and what should be left out? What should these documents look like? How do you make sure that both documents match with one another? During this workshop, the focus will lie on these questions so you will be able to clearly state your suitability and motivation for whatever you are applying for. As part of the training, we ask you to bring your cover letter and CV and get on the spot feedback to further improve them.
