On November 21, 2025, participants attended an interactive seminar designed to help them understand and navigate the German job market — beyond simply searching for job ads.
Through a mix of practical input, guided exercises, and group discussion, participants explored what makes the German job market unique and how to prepare strong, targeted applications. They gained insights into employer expectations, reflected on their own competencies, and learned how to present their skills convincingly in application documents.
Highlights included:
✅ Understanding the structure and characteristics of the German job market
✅ Learning how to read and analyze job advertisements to tailor applications effectively
✅ Exploring professional networking strategies and the potential of speculative applications
✅ Reflecting on personal strengths and experiences to build a convincing applicant profile
✅ Understanding how to structure a strong CV for the German job market

Participants left the workshop with a clearer understanding of how to approach their job search in Germany, along with practical strategies for researching employers, building networks, and creating professional, targeted application documents.
