Objectives

Personal Branding for Job Search is to fine-tune your job search tools, skills, and knowledge so that you can gain more confidence in finding your dream job. To do so, you will reflect, analyse and update yourself through exercises in the peer support group. You can also renew your stores of positive energy and expand your peer network for your new career in the Netherlands. The workshop aims to create your ‘brand’ by identifying your uniqueness and strengths in the Dutch job market.

The training program consists of six sessions with reflective, interactive, and dialogue-based exercises. There will be ample opportunity for asking questions and sharing experiences with the trainer and peers.

In Session V, you will have a ‘recruiter session’ where you can have a ‘mock interview’ with actual recruiters. They provide first-hand information on what they look for during interviews, along with tips and suggestions on responding to questions.

By the end of the training program, you will have fully-tuned job search tools and renewed self-confidence, and be one step closer to your dream job!

Trainer

Annemarie Koppenaal
Ever since I was young, I’ve had a passion for people. I like to get to know them, understand what motivates them, where they are heading in life and how they think they will turn their vision into reality. Then I will do whatever is in my power to assist, guide, coach, and mentor them on their journey. That’s why I am a Success Coach and a balanced Female Entrepreneur.
