Vacancies & skills Step 1: How to find jobs |
Let’s start with the basics: where are all the jobs hiding? In our first Cap to Career Days workshop, we’ll help you crack the code on finding vacancies; from clever Google tricks to insider tips on reading between the lines in job posts. You will also learn how to match your skills to what employers are actually looking for. Spoiler: you probably have more relevant experience than you think. |
Tuesday August 26th 11:00-12:00 (CET) |
CV & Motivation Letter Step 2: How to react to jobs |
Found an interesting job? Great! Now let’s make sure you stand out. In this session, we will walk you through making a strong CV and writing a motivation letter that does more than just repeat your resume. Wondering if you should include that volunteering stint at the dog shelter? Or how to talk about your study abroad experience? We’ll cover it all and help you turn your story into something that recruiters will remember. |
Wednesday August 27th 11:00-12:00 (CET) |
LinkedIn & Networking Step 3: How to connect with professionals |
Your online presence matters even more than you think. Whether your LinkedIn profile is a blank page or a perfect mirror of yourself, this workshop will help you build it into a real digital handshake. You will learn how to grow your network, connect with people in your field, and (just as important) what to do once you have made those connections. |
Thursday August 28th 11:00-12:00 (CET) |
Job Interview Step 4: How to talk yourself into the job |
You made it to the interview! Exciting, but also a little nerve-racking. This session is all about interview prep: what questions to expect, how to make a great first impression, and how to confidently talk about yourself (without sounding like a robot). Even better? You’ll get the chance to practice in a safe, supportive setting. |
Friday August 29th 11:00-12:00 (CET) |
Walk-in Hour Step 5: The finishing touch |
Still have questions? Need some one-on-one advice? During our walk-in hour, you can talk directly with our career advisors about anything from fine-tuning your CV to figuring out your next move. Whether you joined all the workshops or just one, you’re welcome to drop by and chat. |
