The ninth episode of our podcast ‘Schlüsselmomente’ is all about how international students can master their career entry in Germany.

Entering the German job market can be challenging for students, especially for those with an international background. During the process, many questions arise: What application documents are required? Is it sufficient to apply in English or is a German application required? How do I get in touch with company representatives? These and other questions will be answered in this episode.

Our student peer counsellor Emma Piel talks to Sumit Mahajan about his journey from studying at a German university to his recent career entry at Clarios Ltd. Sumit shares his experiences of the German application process, difficulties in obtaining a work visa and his love for German automobiles.

If you are an international student at LUH and have questions about starting your career in Germany, please feel free to contact the Career Service team. They will also help you with other questions about the application process and finding a job that fits.
