JobTalk – Career Insights Straight from the Source

Description

In-demand professionals have numerous paths and opportunities available to them.

The JobTalk format is designed to help students find the path that suits them best and to establish the foundations for a successful career entry while still in university.

What Does JobTalk Offer?

• Speakers from various professional fields and disciplines

• Career discussions with fellow students

• Relaxed and informal atmosphere

• Insights into companies and career paths

• Company contacts for:

  • Internships

  • Career entry

  • Network expansion

• Answers to questions you won’t find online, such as:

  • Starting salaries

  • Actual company culture

  • How job interviews are conducted

Process

After a few introductory words from the Career Service, 2–3 alumni of our University of Applied Sciences will share their personal career paths in a relaxed atmosphere—covering their studies, entry into the workforce, and current positions (about 10 minutes each). Initial questions such as “What challenges did you face? What helped you? And what does this job title actually mean?” will be addressed.

In the second part of the JobTalk, students have the opportunity to ask the speakers questions directly in an open exchange and potentially establish contacts for their own career paths. Depending on the number of students, this exchange may take place in breakout sessions or with the entire group.

During the overall 90-minute JobTalk, our alumni can provide valuable insights and experiences to the next generation. Afterward, students continue their own professional journey with inspiration and greater clarity.

Dates

The next JobTalks are expected to be offered in the Winter Semester 25/26.

We will announce the faculties and exact dates in due time.
