Content:

To boost their chances on the job market, students should bring some know-how on typical application procedures in the referring region. Employers typically look for a variety of skills and the aim is to stand out of the crowd. It is essential for candidates to communicate effectively and to market their skills convincingly.

In this workshop, we focus on the challenge of bridging the communication gap between applicants and potential employers especially in the German speaking countries. We will change perspective, look into employers needs and understand their ways to assess the professional matching. You will then learn to develop your very own communications strategy. This workshop is designed to address the whole range from internships throughout your studies to job search after your graduation.

• Things to consider for cover letters and CVs in German speaking countries
• Typical structure of a job interview and how to prepare for it
