Guest speaker at a Career Conversation
About the role
To help our students better prepare for their first steps on the job market, Alumni Relations and TU Delft Career Centre organise a Career Conversation once or twice per month. You can use your valuable (professional) experience to advise and inspire students, PhDs and young alumni by telling about your own study/career path, experiences, ambitions, choices, challenges and your current job.
During the session you will be assisted by a coach from the Career Centre. She will open the session, introduce you and support you if necessary when things don't go quite as expected.
Time commitment
On average, the preparation takes about 2 hours. The online session takes place on a weekday from 12.45 to 13.30. The Career Centre will provide you with a template for your presentation and some handles and instructions for your story. You make your own story and presentation.

Since the Career Conversations are currently taking place online, alumni from all over the world can participate.
