Career Service Beratungsgespräch

Counselling service for students, PhD candidates, and alumni

Whether you are applying for an internship, looking for a qualified student job or preparing to start your career: An application is always about how you can communicate your strengths and skills authentically and concisely.

"Thank you very much for the nice session today, for the great advice and your creative ideas. With the information you gave me today, I was able to find out more about how I can plan for the labour market."

Career orientation and feedback on application documents

We provide information on the current job market and help you with proactively retrieving and assessing information. If need be, we help you with reflecting your own hard and soft skills and your personal expectations towards a future employer. And we, of course, provide an in-depth feedback on the persuasiveness and layout of your application materials - before you send them off.

PLEASE NOTE:

The prerequisite for a counselling session on your application documents is that you have read through the document ‘Job application checklist’ in our online resource centre.

Need more input on career options? Then make sure to participate in events from our semester program throughout your studies.

For individual advice (online via Webex) or an on-site counselling session please ask for an 
 appointment by e-mail.

"I am very pleased to inform you that I have a job interview with W. next Monday. And this Friday I have a phone call with Mr G., during which I will definitely find out about the processes at W. so that I can make a better impression on Monday. Who would have thought that it might work out so quickly?"
