Get a piece of the pie and apply unsolicited. When asked, 83 % of Danish employers indicate that it is possible to apply unsolicited to them. Furthermore, 84 % answer, that they also mostly read the unsolicited applications they get. And 63 % of them answer, that they have tried to hire someone who applied unsolicited*. This pattern is repeated in IDA's figures, as a a total of 60% of IDA's newly graduated members get their first job by different ways than the traditional posted job - and unsolicited job search is one of the strategies. During this online workshop you will get specific tools and methods on how you proactively approach the companies by both calling and writing. In short: You’ll learn to take control of your own job search which will increase your motivation. The workshop is hosted by SDU's career counsellors, and the experts sharing their best tips at this online workshop are career advisers from IDA. The format will be a mixture of theory and tools. It is our experience, that the best output of the workshops is, when our participants comment, ask questions and are getting involved. So we hope, that you will do the same. *Ballisager's annual recruitment analysis among Danish companies across industries - 2019 + 2021.

NORDTEK is a network of the Technical Universities in the Nordic and Baltic Countries. The members represent 30 universities, more than 180 000 students, teachers, and researchers. The mission of the NORDTEK network is to strengthen the engineering sciences in the Nordic and Baltic region and to contribute to solve concrete needs for society by collaboration within engineering education, research, entrepreneurship, and innovation. For the students the network provides excellent opportunities for e.g. mobility and international collaboration. One of the key activities of the network is also the annual NORDTEK Conference, which is targeted to students and staff alike. This years’ Conference will be organised in Turku Finland, on 11-13 of June 2024 with the very topical theme of Artificial Intelligence in Engineering.
