Advice and services

Application portfolio review service

A strong and complete application is your calling card and decides whether you get through to the next round. When preparing application documents, questions which frequently arise include how to word the cover letter, how to structure the CV and in what order to arrange the documents.

We will review your documents critically and professionally and check whether they are complete, comprehensible and convincing. Practice applying properly even while you are still at university, whether with an application portfolio, an online application or a speculative application.

Arrange an appointment with us.

Individual consultation

Even if you have not yet completed your studies, you should address the questions relevant for a successful career start and further development. We do not make your decisions for you or offer ready-made solutions. Rather, we provide you with guidance and support and inspire you to find your own solutions. We want to work out your prospects, determine your talents and resources together with you and assist you in making your own decisions.

Arrange an appointment with us.

Mock job interview

You will feel more relaxed if you know what to expect in a job interview and how you are perceived by the other party.

The interview

Staff at the Career Service will simulate a job interview with you (20 min). This will be followed by detailed feedback (30 min) on your manner and your answers as well as other tips for preparing for the real-life situation.

Preparation for the mock job interview

For the advisors to be able to prepare for the mock interview in the best possible way, please send the following documents to the Career Service (career-service@fau.de) before your appointment:

  • the job advertisement of the position you have applied for
  • all your application documents

Arrange an appointment with us.
