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

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

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
