"i just wanted to get back to you and let you know that I started working yesterday. Today was my second day of work.
I really like it there! The atmosphere is great and the appreciative way of dealing with each other makes the work even more pleasant.
I was lucky to have you as a guide! I could not have done it without you!
Thank you again for the help and the tireless tips you have given me!"

" The job market in Germany is particularly challenging , especially for foreign students who have to struggle with the language, a different working atmosphere and a different culture.
In addition, you have to consider that it is not enough to have a degree and good interview to get a job: The transition between studies and a job requires many skills and know-how that many students do not know or tahe for granted. In this respect, the Career Service not only helped me, but also freed me from my former naivety. Without the many events, workshops and consultations I took part in or had with the Career Service Center, I would never have known, or probably too late, what you need to start a career in Germany.
Every university in Germany should aspire to have an excellent Career Service Center, as it exists to this day at Goethe University Frankfurt.

" The support of Ms. Ulucan and my partner in the online job shadowing program was very helpful for my career orientation. All my questions asked were answered and i got a lot of useful information to my satisfaction. After the counselling I found my job and now I am working as an IT consultant in a Big 4 company. I would recommend Career Coaching and Job Shadowing to others."
