Application check by e-mail

Individual counselling & coaching
Would you like detailed counselling or coaching support? We will be happy to talk to you in person - either in person or online, depending on your preferences.
In an individual application check, we will give you detailed feedback on your application documents and put the finishing touches to your application together.
The following topics, for example, can be discussed in an individual appointment for professional orientation:
- How do I write a customized and professional application?
- How do I search specifically for jobs and expand my network?
- How do I prepare for the upcoming job interview?
- What are the current trends in the application process?
- How can I use artificial intelligence (AI) for my application?
- How do I create an appealing digital application profile?
- What skills and competences do I have?
- What are my motives, values and professional goals?
- Which working environment suits me?
- Which specialization should I choose?
- Should I do a Master's degree or go straight into a career?
- And much more.
