In their career coaching sessions with students, the ETH Career Center regularly encounters common career misconceptions that graduates have about their entry onto the job market and their future professional career.
Some of these misconceptions are:
- A wrong decision now will ruin my professional career - forever.
- I need to follow my passion... (Help! I don't have one!)
- Without a doctorate in my field I will not find a qualified job.
- There is one perfect job for me out there... I just need to find it!
But are these beliefs actually true? Or could they be myths that are putting unnecessary pressure on you? In this interactive session, you'll explore what's really behind these common career fears. You'll discover how certain beliefs might be holding you back in your job search, and more importantly, how you can shift your thinking to move forward with more clarity and confidence.
📍The talk takes place at ETH Zentrum. Room will be announced by E-Mail once you're signed up.
