Client stories

Evidence from real counselling work

These notes come from graduates who booked employment consulting with us while preparing applications, interviews, or city decisions in Germany.

I arrived with a UK-style CV and a vague wish to work in logistics near Mainz. After two counselling sessions I rewrote the Lebenslauf, narrowed the search to three corridors, and finally understood why my Anschreiben felt too long for German readers.

The first session felt dense; I needed a second visit to turn the notes into actual applications.

Amira K.
M.Sc. Supply Chain — Graduate Career Counselling

The document review caught that my degree title looked unfamiliar to German HR. We added a one-line explanation and cut a skills block that repeated my transcript. I still wrote every sentence myself—they just showed me what to fix.

Jonas W.
B.A. Sociology — Application Document Review

Interview practice for a Mittelstand engineering firm was blunt in a useful way. I kept answering with theory; they pushed me toward examples from my Praktikum. The salary question still made me nervous, but I had a script that sounded like me.

Elena R.
Dipl.-Ing. candidate — Interview Preparation

The orientation workshop stopped me from applying only in Berlin because friends lived there. We mapped where my chemistry background actually shows up in job ads. I left with a ranked list, not a pep talk.

From final exams to a first contract in Rheinland-Pfalz

A graduate in business administration used three counselling sessions across eight weeks: market mapping, document review, then interview rehearsal for a regional controller trainee role.

Outcome: She accepted an offer with a clear Probezeit plan and a German Anschreiben she could reuse for similar postings.

International graduate navigating bilingual applications

An international graduate with B2 German needed help deciding when to apply in German versus English and how to describe a non-EU degree on a Lebenslauf.

Outcome: Applications shifted toward firms that published bilingual graduate tracks; interview prep focused on explaining the degree path calmly.
