#Doc4Office Contest
The Junior Scientist and Industry annual meeting is your opportunity to build your first connections in the professional networks of industry, startups and consulting.
BUT HOW DO YOU STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD?
Leave your slides, cover letters and academic CV behind… and enter the #Doc4Office contest!
You’ll need to prepare a poster and work the field as if you were running for « best Doc in town ». Seeing your poster will help the people you meet remember you. We’ve made templates that are easy to fill in on PowerPoint. But if you are feeling creative, you’re more than welcome to make your own! (on canva.com for example or other)
The first top 3 poster will be awarded with a prize

#DOC4OFFICE POSTER TIPS
The #Doc4Office contest is the way to pimp your CV and do your best to stand out from the crowd
- Topic: my journey to PhD and PhD project
- On your flyer you can showcase your skills, know-how, personality… anything you can bring to the table in a job after leaving academia. It is your best first impression packaged in a poster.
- Do not try to fit all of your CV, cover letter, LinkedIn profile, expertise and publications on one flyer, but select what describes you best and makes you stand out professionally (and why you’re the best Doc out there). You may even choose not to mention your thesis topic!
- Download the poster templates prepared by our GJA team member to help you find your creative flow – but feel free to adapt the provided templates or create your own from scratch! (or more probably from canva.com)
- Make sure your name appears clearly on your flyer!!!
- Mandatory items to appear: the name of the contest "#Doc4Office" + the JSIam logo + the GIANT Campus logo + QR code for voting (all available on the provided PowerPoint templates below)
