In which situations could career guidance be useful?
Career guidance can be useful, when:
- planning a career shift into new tasks or another professional field
- wondering which skills employers are currently looking for
- interested in learning more about identifying and marketing your skills
- looking for opportunities for studying and developing your skills at the Open University of Applied Sciences
Prepare for the discussion in advance
You can reflect on the following questions:
- What have you studied before and what are your skills and competences?
- Are you interested in supplementing your previous studies for example by taking courses at the open university?
- Do you plan to start studies in higher education for the first time, or do you wish to enter in a totally new field of study?
