Our university tries to assist in the search by offering a wide range of tools and initiatives. Here\u2019s an overview.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Young twentysomethings are often still searching for their identity. Who am I? What do I want? Once you have your degree, you are faced with another big challenge: what kind of job do I want and how do I enter the labour market? \u2018Especially students from more general fields \u2013 such as languages or human sciences \u2013 are often unsure about what jobs are available to them and how to start their search\u2019, Sara Backx from the Study Advice and Student Counselling Department says. \u2018But even students from, for example, medicine sometimes have questions, such as \u201chow do I apply for a job?\u201d We would like to help those students make conscious career choices so that they are in the right place sooner.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Career \u2018lemniscate\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>UAntwerp offers a lot of guidance options, which are designed using the career guidance model elaborated by Professor Marinka Kuijpers. Sara: \u2018The model centres around competences needed to guide your career: knowing what you can do, knowing your own interests, networking, selling yourself, exploring the labour market&#8230; These competences are presented on a \u201clemniscate\u201d, the sign for infinity. No coincidence, since mapping out a career is a process that never stops.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"2910\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Begeleiding-studenten-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Begeleiding-studenten-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Begeleiding-studenten-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Begeleiding-studenten-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Begeleiding-studenten-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Begeleiding-studenten-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Begeleiding-studenten.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Students with questions or doubts about career planning can also contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uantwerpen.be\/en\/study\/student-services-advice\/counselling\/career-coaching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">STIP<\/a>, which offers both group sessions and individual counselling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The career lemniscate also forms the basis for an online module on career coaching, which the VLIR has developed in cooperation with VDAB over the past few years and will launch next academic year. It aims to provide tools for lecturers, programme counsellors and other staff who want to advise or supervise final-year students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Career Centre<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A useful tool that students and alumni can use at any time is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uantwerpen.be\/en\/about-uantwerp\/alumni-office\/uantwerp-career-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Career Centre<\/a>, a career platform that includes job vacancies and info on job events. Students can create a personal profile, on which they indicate their interests and other information. They can also upload their CV so that companies can contact them directly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018One component of the Career Centre is the Get Started module\u2019, Sara explains. \u2018Here students will find information to really get started: how to map your talents and interests, how to create a CV, where to find job vacancies, etc. All of this is divided into sections corresponding to competences defined in the career lemniscate. For example, in \u201cKnow yourself\u201d, students can find self-tests and questionnaires, while \u201cSell yourself\u201d has tips on creating a CV and applying for a job.\u2019 To consult specific UAntwerp information, students need to log in using our own <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.jobteaser.com\/?client_id=e500827d-07fc-4766-97b4-4f960a2835e7&amp;entity_cc_name=Career+Center+&amp;entity_color=%23ea2c39&amp;entity_logo=https%3A%2F%2Fd1guu6n8gz71j.cloudfront.net%2Fsystem%2Fasset%2Flogos%2F4121739%2Flogo.png%3F1611918760&amp;entity_name=UAntwerpen&amp;nonce=512dd088e070c0a5f687ec47af52feff&amp;organization_domain=uantwerpen&amp;redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fuantwerpen.jobteaser.com%2Fusers%2Fauth%2Fconnect%2Fcallback&amp;response_type=code&amp;scope=openid+email+profile+groups&amp;state=e605529dc4664ff97983a362e6fb6027&amp;ui_locales=nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">student platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Career Week<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The annual job fair, which was renamed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uantwerpen.be\/en\/events\/career-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Career Week <\/a>and received a complete overhaul, also gives students a boost. The event, with both live and online sessions, lasts a whole week and focuses on the theme \u2018talents\u2019. The kick-off was on 1 March in the Stadscampus Sports Hall: it included an interview with radio presenter Sven Ornelis, info sessions, and opportunities to have an informal chat with alumni. Students can have their CV screened and have a professional profile picture taken. \u2018We invited Sven Ornelis as a speaker because he chose a career path that was not obvious for his degree in religious studies. By doing so, we highlight that you can go in a wide variety of directions after university, as long as you use your talents in the right way\u2019, Eva Goethals from the Study Advice and Student Counselling Department says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"2902\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Career-Development-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Career-Development-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Career-Development-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Career-Development-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Career-Development-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Career-Development-1-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Career-Development-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">One component of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uantwerpen.be\/en\/about-uantwerp\/alumni-office\/uantwerp-career-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Career Centre <\/a>is the Get Started module.

They can also get in touch with companies online. The event concludes on 8 March with Career Week Online, where students can have one-on-one interviews with companies. \u2018Before, there was just one job day where companies were present, so this new concept may be less overwhelming for the students\u2019, Inge Bervoets from the Marketing and Communications Department says. All students and recent graduates will receive an email about the initiative. Inge: \u2018We are promoting the event through various channels. There\u2019s also a slide for lecturers, available from their <a href=\"https:\/\/pintra.uantwerpen.be\/webapps\/ua-pintrasite-BBLEARN\/module\/index.jsp?course_id=_17_1&amp;tid=_50579_1&amp;lid=_51534_1&amp;l=en_us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">faculty SPOC<\/a>.

Online information sessions are organised with tips and tricks on how to apply for a job (how to create your CV and cover letter, using LinkedIn, preparing for a job interview, etc). There is also a workshop on applying for a job in which students practice a job interview using role-play. Finally, students can also turn to one of the career guidance coaches for individual counselling. \u2018We always try to impart to students that a career rarely goes swimmingly at the start. It\u2019s perfectly normal that your first job does not immediately tick all the boxes of your ideal job\u2019, Talia Gheys from the Study Advice and Student Counselling Department says.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"2904\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Career-Development-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Career-Development-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Career-Development-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Career-Development-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Career-Development-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Career-Development-3-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Career-Development-3.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">The annual job fair, which was renamed to Career Week and received a complete overhaul, also gives students a boost.

Inge: \u2018The Career Centre remains accessible even after graduation. Graduates just need to remember to change their student email address to a private email address.
