Before you can successfully present yourself to a company, you need to come to terms with your own abilities and ideas, i.e.: Who am I and which job suits me?

You should ask yourself the following questions:

• Where do my skills and strengths lie? Coaching, Wie will ich arbeiten und leben?
• One possibility is the CAPTain personnel test from CNT, which TUHH students can use free of charge.
• What kind of company suits me? WUPZM
• What is my motivation to work in a certain company or job?
   

There are several research avenues for the job search:

• Job portal stellenwerk: Offers for working student jobs, entry-level positions, etc.
