Job Search Tools and Techniques
To approach your first job search strategically, we have developed a series of 3 seminars focusing on the key tools and techniques for an active job search:
- CV and Cover Letter: How to strategically and operationally prepare an effective application; writing techniques and key tips for both unsolicited applications and responses to job advertisements.
- Job Interview: Preparing for the interview; managing the meeting, learning strategies to answer effectively; evaluating your own performance after an interview.
- LinkedIn and Personal Branding: The functionality and use of the leading professional social network, how to set up a profile that communicates your full value, and how to create and enhance your online presence for the development and management of your professional career.
The seminars are offered monthly (except in July and August), either via Zoom or in person. Each seminar lasts approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, typically in the morning from 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM.
Participation is open to all students enrolled at the University of Trento, subject to registration and availability of places.
Go to the calendar to view the dates and register by following the "apply" link.
A certificate of participation will be issued to those who complete the entire series of 3 seminars (even in different months) during one calendar year. Students are responsible for verifying the requirements for obtaining any ECTS credits (CFU) on the dedicated page of their Department's website.
Workplace health and safety training
In addition to being a legal obligation, occupational safety and health training is a fundamental tool for prevention and protection that also concerns the trainee (who is equated with a "worker" on this issue). This is why you need proper training from the employer to carry out an internship. This training has two parts: general training and specific training. The general safety training is also available online from the University, so all UniTrento interns can complete it by following the given instructions.
CV and Cover Letter (online course)
The course is aimed at students and graduates of the University of Trento and was created by the Job Guidance Office in collaboration with the Online Teaching Office. The purpose of the course is to help them understand what they are, what they are for and how to make their own CV and Cover Letter.
The course lasts about 5 hours and is structured in Modules with corresponding initial and final self-assessment tests.
