Talent speed-dating

On Monday 20th of March, a brokerage event will take place, offering opportunity of exchange to students and fellows looking for a job opportunity. It will consist of 10-minute meetings between representatives of firms and laboratories, on one side, and students and fellows, on the other side. The aims of these meetings can be manifold, including: (i) networking; (ii) current job vacancies the industry/lab; (iii) future/potential job in the industry/lab.


The meetings will take place upon successful matching: each PhD students will select the industries of interest from the list of firms/laboratories attending the workshop; then, each firm/laboratory will receive the CVs of the interested students and will select a number of students according to their interest and to the slots available.

 

The students attending the Final PACMAN workshop will have the possibility to attend a specific training before the event, with a focus on CV writing and preparation for short interviews.  The training will take place at CERN, on the 16th of March.
