On Wednesday, 10 June, doctoral students and postdocs at Paderborn University can find out about a possible entry into the business world as part of the "Career Spotlights" event series. Hilke Heise, People Chief Officer at Bertelsmann Investment, will give a transparent insight into what companies expect from doctoral graduates on the topic of "Successful applications in business" from 2 to 3 pm. Interested parties can register for the online event by emailing phdsupport@uni-paderborn.de by 9 June.
Heise will report on which competences count in practice, how applicants with a doctorate differ from those with a Master's degree, and how the experience gained from a doctorate can be translated in such a way that it becomes relevant and understandable for companies. Typical misunderstandings between science and business will also be highlighted. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to ask questions.
Further information on the "Career Spotlights" can be found on the website of the Paderborn PhD & Postdoc Support Office (formerly the Academic Career Development Office).
