Client stories

Evidence from real graduate searches—not star ratings

These accounts name the consultation used and the constraint that mattered. Outcomes vary; we do not promise job offers.

Job Search Strategy Session

“I arrived with eighty open tabs and no filter. Lena made me rank cities by commute and permit timing before we touched job boards. The written plan felt almost strict—four applications a day maximum—but I finally finished tailored Anschreiben.”

Priya S. · M.Sc. Environmental Engineering · finished studies in Dresden

Lebenslauf & Anschreiben Clinic

“Markus deleted half my skills section and asked why my internship at a municipal utility was buried on page two. I disagreed about removing the photo at first; after two weeks of replies I admitted he was right for my target industry.”

Jonas H. · B.A. Public Administration · applying in Brandenburg

Interview Rehearsal

“The mock panel kept returning to my Absolvent permit end date. I hated how shaky I sounded. By the third run I could answer in forty seconds and pivot to the project I led in my thesis lab. The real interview still asked the question—just once.”

Elena M. · M.Sc. Biochemistry

Residence-Aware Career Mapping

“We mapped three months I actually had left, not the optimistic six I kept telling friends. That meant declining a speculative move to Munich. It was not the advice I wanted, but it stopped me from emptying my savings on rent before interviews existed.”

Daniel O. · international graduate on job-seeker residence

Extended story

From scattershot Berlin applications to a Cottbus-region contract

A mechanical engineering graduate came to us after four months of unanswered applications aimed only at large Berlin firms. The strategy session reframed employer size and geography, then the Lebenslauf clinic rebuilt how internships were listed.

Over six weeks they followed the four-week plan twice, adjusting titles after week two. They accepted a befristet role with a supplier near Cottbus. The reservation they still voice: German interview answers need more practice than one rehearsal covered—something we now flag earlier for similar clients.
