My professional skills received a clear polish as being involved in this programme left me with good chance of managing individuals from different educational environment and training gave me a real sense of direction to what job do I really want to do and what exactly do I need equip myself with to sell myself effectively in the competitive job market around the globe.
The summer school presented me with the opportunity of working with diverse people from different academic, social and geographic backgrounds. This made discussions very broad and rich as people contributed based on their unique experiences and enabled me to learn from other perspectives. This helped to build mutual respect among us. The contacts made will be lifelong.
I benefited greatly from exercises to improve my CV, practice (non)academic job interviews and advice on what skills and experiences to acquire for my dream job. This may sound trivial, but this workshop also helped me to gain clarity on my future goals and objectives and allowed me to formulate a concrete plan on how to achieve them.
