Workshops
11 April , 10.00-11.30 hrs
During this workshop you will get tips so you can build a professional CV and you will learn what to include when you write an application letter.
Imagine you just found an interesting job or internship vacancy. Often, you need to apply via a CV and an application letter. This can be quite difficult. How can you ensure that your CV and application letter stand out between the other applications?
Which parts are important to highlight and how can you phrase them the best way? There are many tips and tricks online, but it can be hard to navigate through the overkill of information.
During this workshop, you will learn how to write a CV and motivation letter that best reflects your profile. Our career advisors help you to present yourself in the best possible way.

Maar hoe zorg je er nu voor dat je contact maakt op een succesvolle manier met alumni en werkgevers? In deze workshop kom je hier meer over te weten en ga je hiermee aan de slag!
In deze workshop leer je op een succesvolle manier contact te maken met alumni en werkgevers.

Overheidsorganisaties en bedrijven bieden recent afgestudeerden traineeships aan in uiteenlopende werkgebieden. Wil jij graag aan de slag als trainee? Op zoek naar tips voor de sollicitatieprocedure? Of ben je nog aan het onderzoeken of een traineeship iets voor jou is? Kom dan naar ons event ‘Werken als trainee’!
Wat is een traineeship?
Een traineeship is een combinatie van werken en leren terwijl je in dienst bent van een organisatie. Als trainee werk je in korte tijd mee op meerdere afdelingen van het bedrijf, om zodoende snel ervaring op te doen en de organisatie goed te leren kennen. Daarbij biedt de organisatie een stevig opleidingspad aan.
Tijdens dit event leer je meer over de verschillende traineeshipmogelijkheden en wat erbij komt kijken als je daadwerkelijk aan de slag gaat als trainee. Tevens krijg je tips voor de sollicitatieprocedures van de verschillende traineeships. Meld je aan voor de webinar op 12 april!

By Diána Bene-Morozov, HR Consultant and Trainer
A gap year has the capacity to change your life. It surely changed mine and I did not even plan on taking one.
I will combine insights from a decade of HR experience, my own gap year and my interviews with other professionals who took gap years to explore the topic from a variety of angles.
- What can you do during a gap year and how can you profit from it?
- How do you plan one?
- How do you sell your university program when applying to jobs and internships during your gap year?
- How do you keep a positive mindset during a period of time that has less structure than the years you spent at uni?
Come along to figure out whether a gap year could be an interesting alternative for you after your studies!
