Over the course of the week preceding the Forum EPFL, you’ll have the opportunity to meet experts from leading Swiss universities and multinational companies. They’ll be on hand to help you optimize your job applications and professional integration.
To enhance your application, we offer a variety of workshops on career orientation, LinkedIn profile optimization and professional photography. In addition to that, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in mock interviews to maximize your preparation.
Professional photo shoot
You’ll have the opportunity to take a professional photo. Take advantage of this opportunity to add value to your CV!
CV and motivation letter revision
Experts will offer you their advice to help both your CV and letter of motivation have a greater impact. The latter is often underrated by students. However, it is sometimes more important than the CV, allowing you to stand out from your competitors.
The correction of both these documents will be given as a 30-minute private meeting with an expert, in French or English (language must be chosen upon registration).
Job Interview Simulations
During this workshop, you will get the opportunity to have a mock interview with an HR expert. The language of the interview will be chosen upon registration.
Experience has shown that preparing for this interview and being observed by an expert in realistic conditions effectively strengthens communication skills and self-confidence.
Career Counseling
A diploma does not open a unique door to the vast world of employment. There are many accessible careers after graduating from EPFL. In order to discuss these multiple opportunities, you will have the possibility to meet with career counselors who will help you find the best professional path possible according to your skills and desires.
LinkedIn profile advice
Your LinkedIn profile is one of the essential tools for standing out in the job market. We’re offering you personalized support to optimize your presence on LinkedIn.
During this workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to receive advice on highlighting your career path, writing a punchy summary, and strategically using LinkedIn to search for a job. Take advantage of this opportunity to improve your online visibility and strengthen your professional network!
