Find a Job in Germany - Q&A Session for International Students
Tuesday, 9 June, 12:00-13:30 | online
Finding a job in Germany can feel overwhelming - but you don't have to figure it out alone. In this interactive Q&A session, we focus on your questions. After a short introduction to the German job market you can ask anything related to your career journey - from applications and CVs to interviews, job search strategies, or visa-related topics. A key benefit of this session is learning from each other: Many students face similar challenges, so you will not only get answers to your own questions, but also gain valuable insights from the questions and experiences of others.
