Councelling at the CAREER Center
During your studies – for example, when looking for an internship or making the transition into working life – many questions may arise regarding the application process, job interviews or starting your career.
One-to-one consultations are offered by the CAREER Center team and, on selected, designated consultation days, by the university team from the Munich Employment Agency. They take place by arrangement, either by telephone, via video chat or in person at Campus Lothstraße.
Consultations can be conducted in German or English. We can review English-language application documents in terms of their content, structure and clarity. As we are neither native English speakers nor linguists, our service does not include professional linguistic or grammatical proofreading. Similarly, we can only provide limited advice on foreign country-specific application practices, as these vary considerably depending on the region and sector.
