Even if this course is not mandatory for you, we strongly recommend to participate if you are seeking for help from the CEU Career office to find a new job. The course is a recommended prerequisite before you book an individual consultation.

We offer assistance in connecting academic learning with possible career options, gaining insights into specific career fields, and performing a job search in parallel with your studies. We help you in a tailor-made way with assessments, one-on-one appointments, resume critiques, mock interviews, and strategies for connecting to alumni and other mentors.
