Goal of the Activity

The "Erasmus Empower: Crafting Your Career Path with German CV Mastery" workshop, organized by ESN Göttingen, equips ESNer and students, especially those interested in working in Germany, with essential career skills. Aligned with the Erasmus Careers project, it focuses on employability and career development.

Our objectives include understanding German employers' CV expectations, providing practical guidance on highlighting relevant skills and achievements, and tailoring CVs to the German job market. Interactive sessions offer personalized CV feedback, empowering participants to navigate the job market confidently.

This workshop bridges the gap between international students' aspirations and the German workforce, supporting their long-term career success and fostering a vibrant, inclusive Erasmus community.

Description

The workshop featured interactive elements and practical activities to ensure active participation.

It included:

  1. Presentation and Discussion: A comprehensive presentation on crafting successful CVs for the German job market, covering formatting, content, language, and cultural considerations, followed by open discussions and Q&A sessions.
  2. Case Studies and Examples: Analysis of real-life German CVs to identify effective strategies and best practices.
  3. Personalized Feedback: Participants received personalized feedback on their CV drafts, with tailored suggestions for improvement.

To be environmentally friendly, digital resources were provided, and electronic devices were encouraged for note-taking. All materials were made available online.

The workshop was held in an accessible, wheelchair-friendly venue at the university, near public transportation, and conducted in both German and English to ensure inclusivity. 

The aim was to create a welcoming environment where all participants felt valued and supported in their career development journey.
