"And what will you do with that?" How often have you heard this phrase as a humanities or social science student? Unlike degree programs in, for example, law or medicine, there is no specific career goal at the end of a humanities or social science degree. But, precisely because these degree programs are so diverse, graduates may have access to a plethora of occupational fields.

In our online event on career entry for international students of the humanities and social sciences, experts from the Agentur für Arbeit (Federal Agency of Employment) will introduce you to various occupational fields for social scientists and humanities graduates in the region and in Germany. They will explain how you, as an international student, can assert yourself on the German job market with the right profile building, search and application strategies. Moreover, Mr. Olaf Röhrbein (Human Resources at Diakonie Osnabrück Stadt und Land) will provide insights into important aspects concerning career entry from an employer's perspective, such as application and recruitment procedures, and selection interviews. After the talk, you will have the opportunity for open exchange in a Q&A session.

Speakers:

• Sabine Najib (Employment Agency, pre-employment career counseling)
• Sabine Schulte (Employment Agency, career counseling in working life)
• Olaf Röhrbein (Human Resources Officer of the Diakonie Osnabrück Stadt und Land)
• Bianca Schulz (Osnabrück University, International Office, Project Study & Stay @OS)

This offer is part of the DAAD project "Study and Stay @OS" and primarily aims at international students (Bachelor/ Master/ Staatsexamen). German students with interest in the topic are also welcome.

The event will be held in German.

Gibt es eine deutsche Arbeitskultur und wenn ja, was zeichnet sie aus? Auf Grundlage der Forschung zu kulturellen Unterschieden in nationalen Arbeitskulturen und mithilfe vieler lustiger Anekdoten werden wir diese Fragen gemeinsam kritisch bearbeiten. Der Workshop bietet Ihnen eine Einführung in zentrale Aspekte der deutschen Arbeitskultur, z.B. die Rolle und Auswirkung von Effizienz, Spezialisierung und Zuverlässigkeit. Darüber hinaus bekommen Sie den Raum, Ihre eigenen Erfahrungen in Deutschland und Ihrer Herkunftskultur zu reflektieren. Wir werden zudem gemeinsam Handlungsoptionen erarbeiten, mit denen Sie Ihren eigenen kulturellen Hintergrund gewinnbringend in deutsche Arbeitskontexte einbringen, sowie Ihre fortlaufende kulturelle Sozialisation bewusst erleben und steuern können.

Referentin: Dr. Debbie Coetzee-Lachmann
