Success Strategies for Your Internship Search

An internship is far more than a short period of practical experience. It offers the opportunity to explore professional interests, develop relevant skills, build an initial network and prepare purposefully for entering the job market. At the same time, the search is often more demanding than it may first appear: suitable positions need to be identified, application documents tailored to different requirements and interviews prepared effectively.

This seminar shows you how to structure your internship search systematically and improve your chances of success. You will learn how to identify suitable fields of work and organisations, combine different search strategies effectively and present your previous experience convincingly, even if you have only limited professional experience so far.

Alongside concise expert input, the focus is on practical strategies, real-world examples and applying what you learn to your individual situation. The seminar also demonstrates how digital tools and AI can be used thoughtfully to support research, improve application documents and prepare for interviews.
