Information and career orientation event for international students

How do I apply for jobs in Germany? What should I know about German work culture? And how do I find a job that truly suits me? On November 12, the Career Service is hosting its third International Career Day, addressing these and similar questions about job search and career orientation. In addition to inspiring short workshops, space to ask individual questions, and an exchange with experts, there will be an opportunity to have a professional application photo taken for free on the day. As part of International Week, this event is designed specifically for international students, and all offers will be in English. We look forward to seeing you!
