Testimonials
Anil Kshatriya
“The EAA Talent Workshop (TW) 2022 held at the IE University in Madrid was a valuable stepping stone for me as a job market candidate. I was successful in securing an academic position at ESSEC Business School (France) thanks to the coordinated efforts of the TW organizers. This state-of-the-art workshop brings together the recruiters and candidates in a setting which allows for both formal and informal interactions. Although the workshop schedule is extremely tight, all the social interactions bring a sense of comfort and confidence. I not only had the opportunity to meet several like-minded colleagues but also made many new friends! Overall, TW was a memorable experience filled with learning.”
Natalie Kim
“The 2020 EAA Talent Workshop provided the best possible online solution to finding a job in a difficult and confusing job market. I was able to contact schools that were interested in my research and teaching profile. I was also able to make informed decisions even before formally applying to schools. Given that every job market candidate seems to be applying to every open position, the targeted interviews and informed decisions could not have been more valuable in finding my job.”
Cristina Grande
“My experience at the 2018 Talent Workshop held at IE was very positive and key to finding a job. I had the opportunity of being interviewed by universities not only from Europe but also from other parts of the world. The TW was the perfect setting to meet great scholars and job market candidates and make myself known.”
Facundo Mercado
“The IE/EAA Talent Workshop is a great initiative. It saves you time searching for job opportunities, increases your visibility, and gives you the opportunity to have interviews with many universities in the same venue. In my case it was very helpful for getting my current job as an Assistant Professor at Warwick Business School. Bottom-line, the IE/EAA Talent Workshop makes the job market process much easier for PhD candidates.”
Giulia Redigolo
“The Talent Workshop is a great opportunity for PhD rookies in Accounting t get exposure and establish the very first contact with European/international schools seeking to recruit new accounting faculty. The event brings together universities and PhD candidates in a very effective way through a matching mechanism. As a PhD candidate, you will have the unique opportunity to present your research in front of all interested recruiters and hold individual interviews with schools. In addition to being a bridge to your future academic career, the TW offers you the chance to learn more about schools and faculty that you might be interested in, as well as to expand your academic network. Definitely a precious and valuable experience!”
