Practical tips, exercises and methods for a successful job interview

Especially for women, a job interview can be a particular challenge. Am I allowed to ask all the questions? Do I have to answer them all? There can be some differences compared to interviews with male applicants. This workshop will specifically address these differences. Otherwise, everything remains the same: 

You did it! Your application was successful and you've received an invitation to the selection process. Your joy is perhaps mixed with excitement and nervousness. Many questions are swirling around in your head. You're probably wondering what to expect and how you can show the interviewers that you're suitable.

Presenting oneself is not easy for most people. Feedback from previous participants shows that good preparation can lead to greater self-confidence and structure in conversations.

In the workshop we will therefore look at the following together:

• How can I prepare?
• What does a typical conversation look like and what questions should I expect?
• How and what do I tell people about myself?
• Pure stress due to gaps in your CV, changing your course of study, or a long study duration? How do I talk about it?

Experience shows that, in addition to theoretical knowledge about job interviews, practicing self-presentation is a crucial step to success. Therefore, we will practice short interview scenarios and see how you can avoid pitfalls and present yourself in the best possible light. Of course, there will also be ample opportunity to ask your questions.
