“The fact that I can have direct connections with the Industry professionals and the contact is not just limited to Working Student Job opportunities, but I can build my network and reach out to the HRs and professionals from the companies regarding my doubts, other opportunities like Internships, thesis, working students, full time jobs and project collaboration.
The talks are really casual and open ended, the fact that these are not actual interviews creates a really chill vibe in the room and make everybody feel comfortable and not nervous. I can be open and honest about my doubts and ideas and all the conversations are welcome by all the parties. This event is where I believe the classroom education meets the real life work experience and you can see the bridge building between what you learn and would work on in future.
To build your network, get a taste of what actually working in certain field and company would look like. To connect with fellow students with similar career interests and enjoy an evening with some amazing cocktails. Also, these events keep me up to date with the latest industry trends in terms of technology, challenges, opportunities etc..
I would also like to vouch on the success of these events since I have secured an internship contract with one of leading industry in Germany through one of these events. The people who represent the companies are genuinely interested in what they do and one could rarely build such strong industry connection in such quick amount of time if it was not for the Career Afterwork events.” – Sourabh Jagtap, Master International Management
"The well thought-out concept of Career Afterwork more than exceeded my expectations. The dialogue in small groups provides interesting insights into the companies and in the relaxed atmosphere, further personal questions can also be asked and answered spontaneously. The added value is clear: you get a good overview of the companies in the region in a very short time and make lots of valuable contacts in the process." - Nelli Veijo, Master Information Systems
„The Career Afterwork offers a great opportunity to talk to interesting employers in person directly and without much effort. As I was looking for a working student position, it was the ideal opportunity for me to talk to different companies and thanks to a great conversation with Rapid Shape GmbH, I even got my job there afterwards. I can recommend the Career Afterwork to everyone, as it is super organised and you can make valuable contacts in a relaxed atmosphere.“ – Vasyl Kurakh, Bachelor Mechanical engineering/ product development
"I really enjoyed the Career Afterwork. In a relaxed atmosphere with snacks and non-alcoholic cocktails, in small groups of 5-6 students, you could get to know some companies. You don't just learn pure facts about the companies, you also get a feel for what the corporate cultures are like. I found the mix of different companies particularly interesting, including family businesses like Rutronik GmbH, large corporations like Dürr AG and global marketing and communications agencies like Ogilvy. I had two favourites that I really wanted to get to know and afterwards I was also impressed by companies that I didn't even have on my radar. Anyone looking for an internship or working student position should definitely take the opportunity to take part in this event - you make valuable contacts here. Doors may also be opened for direct career entry. Time may sometimes feel like it's running out during the semester, but I can say one thing: you won't leave here with the feeling that you've wasted your time! On the contrary, the Career Afterwork gives you real added value!" - Timea von Kraus, Bachelor Marketing communication and advertising
