After the completion of your doctorate, you might ask yourself how to continue your career: in or outside academia? The first part of the course is devoted to discussing the personal aspects and professional perspectives of both sides and deriving possible decision criteria from these considerations. The second part revolves around some options for presenting oneself in written applications on this basis. In this context, we will address the importance of individual motivation, a variety of qualifications, and the function of academic track records and skills profiles.
