Program

Stroll through the exhibition area. Visit academic and industrial employers as well as career experts & further education providers at their booths. Get first-hand information from human resource specialists and life science professionals about offered career opportunities, open positions and useful information for your career goals. Use this opportunity to get an insight into the Life Sciences job market and development possibilities in Austria. And all this on the spot and in a pleasant atmosphere. Take a look at our exhibitors and their organisation profiles under EXHIBITORS.

Boost your career & improve your CV. A convincing CV is the ticket for an interview. HR professionals spend only a few minutes on reading your application and to decide whether or not to invite you for an interview. Are you interested in optimizing your CV in general or want just to get feedback from an expert? Then take the chance for a quick check of your individual resume.

Several exhibitors offer quick CV checks at their booths or within the meet & greet area. Booths offering CV checks are indicated within the exhibitors profiles. Take your printed CV to the fair.

Some exhibitors will offer presentations, where they will give insights into their organisation, career opportunities and job profiles. There will also be time for Q&A and tips for your application. For details about the presentations please have a look at the detailed program. Employer presentations are limited to 120 participants.

You can secure your slot within the online registration system from May 21-24 on first come first serve basis. For remaining places you can register on site at the registration desk.

The online TALENT POOL is the treasure trove for recruiters. As a registered participant you can submit your CV in advance or after the fair. Starting on May 2, all exhibitors will get access to the TALENT POOLand screen the submitted CVs for potential candidates. Employers may contact you and arrange an interview during the LIFE SCIENCES CAREER FAIR for a particular job offer or to give you feedback on your CV. The TALENT POOL will be open until July 30, 2024, so employers may get back to you also after the event.

We also highly recommend the creation of / or updating of your LinkedIn profile and add it during your registration. Exhibitors will get a participants list incl. your contact details and link to your LinkedIn profile. Your LinkedIn profile is, besides your CV in the TALENT POOL, the most important source of information for recruiters, before they meet you in person at the career fair.

During the opening session in the morning, there will be “elevator pitches” (2 minutes 2 slides presentations) by the exhibitors. This will give you an excellent overview and will help you lay out your route through the exhibition and to decide which exhibitors you want to visit. So don´t miss the pitches!

Career workshops on different topics and for different target groups are offered to support the participants in their next career steps. For details about the workshops please have a look at the program. Participation in career workshops are limited depending on the workshop.

You can secure your slot within the online registration system from May 21-24 on first come first serve basis. For any remaining places you can register on site at the registration desk.

Young life scientists and young professionals are often not aware of all the job possibilities “out there in the field” and job titles certainly are not self-explanatory. During the LIFE SCIENCES CAREER FAIR you will have many opportunities to receive information about job profiles by participating at EMPLOYER PRESENTATIONS and visiting and talking to the exhibitors. The issue of Job Profiles is also addressed by ÖGMBT-YLSA (Young Life Scientists Austria) during recurring events and worked out in a summary, which can be found here: oegmbt.at/services/job-profiles

The JOB WALL will feature various current job listings around the meet & greet area at the fair. Go through and take a snapshot. The ÖGMBT offers also a Job Board on its webpage. Take a look and inform yourself about current opportunities. You can find bachelor-, master- and PHD-positions as well as long term employment offers. The Job Board is available all year round and recent offers are highlighted within the ÖGMBT newsletter to members. For further membership benefits visit: https://www.oegmbt.at/membership
