A simulation of a job interview is effective for you if you have an appointment in the foreseeable future. The advice or simulation is individually tailored to you - or to the desired location. As part of the simulation, you get questions - "classics" as well as "surprising" questions and can thereby test your appearance and perseverance. Following the simulation, each question as well as the "framework" will be analyzed and questions clarified. Of course, we also like to inform you without simulation about the "Do's and Dont's" in job interviews. Duration: about 1 hour
Group Simulation "Learning by doing!" Is the motto of an interview simulation. In a group simulation, it is also about "Learning by viewing!" The process: In a small group of max. 3 persons, each participant alternately has the opportunity to slip into the role of the candidate and to train the most frequent questions of a job interview. Afterwards, you receive an even more comprehensive feedback from all observers and at the same time you can benefit from colleagues. Duration: 1.5 to 2 hours | External € 55 |
You are at the end of your studies or already finished and don´t not really know what you want to do in your professional future? A strength-weakness analysis is about your potential, your qualities as well as your wishes and goals. Do you already have goals? If so, how concrete are these? How visible do you have your "mosaic picture" of the dream job in mind? Duration: about 1 hour | External € 55 |
You already know quite well about yourself, your characteristics, strengths, weaknesses and goals? You have already found several areas that you are interested in? But you do not know which area to choose? Occupational field analysis is designed to help you make that decision by examining each area as closely as possible and comparing it with your expectations and preferences. Duration: about 1 hour | External € 55 |
In this special time career starters often lack professional prospects at first glance. In addition to the uncertainty as to whether suitable positions will be advertised at all, the focus is often on the question of what the first steps might look like if there are currently no vacancies. | External € 65 |
Job references and letters of reference - for example for a stay abroad or a scholarship - often have to be prepared by yourself and prepared for reference providers. The Career Center will help you write such letters. Duration: about 1 hour | External € 45 |
