Your career is like a journey. In order to find the right path, you first need to know which goal you want to reach. The first step in identifying your goal is to understand who you are (your personality assessment). As a takeaway, you will not only have a clearer picture of yourself and your preferences, but you will also be in a position to clearly communicate this vision. 

Apart from your degrees, there are certain skills that you enjoy using most and are best at. If you know what they are and can employ them, your work will be the right match. This also holds true for your interests. If you are interested in automobiles, it would be better to look for a job with BMW than with Coca Cola. Knowing your skills and interests is not only important for knowing what your dream profession could be, but is also a prerequisite for being able to persuade your future employer as to why you are the perfect match for a job.

Based on the findings of the two previous modules, all results will be merged and we will identify your first occupational options. Which positions would fit you best? Until you can name the career path you want to follow, you can’t take the strategic steps necessary to position yourself as a competitive applicant.

Now that you know what position you are hunting for, you need to understand who makes the rules of the game. What kind of attitude and behavior are expected of you as a job or internship hunter? How do you create an action plan?

Which are the best resources for your internship/job hunt? Which application channels will be most successful or should be combined? The outcome of this module will be group presentations and recommendations on a variety of research and application channels, as well as resources. The findings will be collected and combined into a reference file that the whole class can use.

Your CV is your basic homework. This is the first piece of information most employers see about you. If you don’t meet their expectations, you will impact your chances for employment negatively. In this workshop, we will train you to create a winning CV.

It was Oscar Wilde who once said: 'Be yourself; everybody else is already taken'. It turns out, that from a personal branding perspective, 'being yourself' is excellent career advice, too. Your personal brand is a reflection of who you are and how you are seen by others. What valuable skills and experiences do you have that set you apart? How can you relate this information so that it is relevant, interesting and visible for the hiring managers you want to attract / the customers you would like to serve?  In this all-day workshop, you will explore how to align what you are good at and enjoy doing with what your choice employers / customers need and really care about. Building on the outcomes of previous career workshops at the KLU, you will examine how to leverage your personal brand in your job search approach and reflect what real life and online activities can support you in this endeavor.
