①Workshop on Showcasing Your Research Capability and Creating a Self-Promotion Poster
Presenting your research during a recruitment process is fundamentally different from presenting at academic conferences. You need to structure and convey your work from the employer’s perspective. You will learn key strategies for self-promotion, such as how to summarize your research effectively for a corporate audience, what aspects beyond your research to highlight, and how best to communicate them. Additionally, individual feedback on self-promotion posters is available for those interested.
Date
September 18（Fri）16：00～18：00
※Individual reviews of self-promotion posters will be conducted in mid-October.
