Self- and Career Competence
Whether you are working in academia or in industry, many of the skills that fall into this area of our skill model are important prerequisites for completing your work responsibilities successfully and efficiently. We are not talking about discipline-specific knowledge here or about the ability to apply new research methods. Rather, personal and career skills are about organising your daily work, working methodically, making reasonable and realistic plans for your next steps as well as using your own resources well and setting achievable goals for yourself within the framework of your own career development. The services provided by JMU therefore support you in
- identifying your personal strengths and interests and finding your hidden potentials.
- clarifying your professional goals and developing concrete steps for the planning of your career.
- preparing for the application process within and outside academia.
- dealing with professional challenges in a conscious, active and creative way.
- managing your time effectively in your everyday work routine.
- finding a good way to use your own resources.
- exploring your understanding of roles in the workplace.
