Thinking about moving from academia to industry? Wondering why your applications aren't landing interviews, or how to translate your research into language hiring managers understand?
Join us for a hands-on working session with Nina Weber, a long-time UX lead with experience on both sides of the hiring table. She will show you how to present yourself the way hiring managers are actually looking for, not the way academia trained you to.
In the first hour, Nina will give a practical overview of today's industry job market: what the application and interview process looks like, how a strong industry resume differs from an academic CV, how to build a portfolio even with limited industry experience, and the common pitfalls candidates run into.
In the second hour, we'll open the floor for Q&A and case discussion. Bring your own questions, resumes, portfolios or examples you're comfortable sharing, and we'll work through real challenges together. The more specific your questions or materials, the more actionable feedback you'll walk away with.
What happens when your most private images become a weapon against you? Why do so many survivors of online blackmail find that the police and courts cannot protect them, and what does it take to reclaim your own story?
Join us for a film screening and discussion around these questions. We will watch the documentary "My Sextortion Diary", followed by a Q&A with the film's director and survivor, Patricia Franquesa. After her laptop was stolen, Patricia was blackmailed by an anonymous hacker threatening to share her intimate photos. Told through text messages, emails and self-recorded videos, the film follows her search for justice with remarkable honesty and humour.
More information will be announced at a later date
