… is what we want to say to the 133 people who took part in our survey „Career and Future Prospects“. We wanted to find out more about skills and wishes and what we can do that our service will help international students to make a good start with their careers.
Our short list of questions started with self-assessment. The question „What are you particularly good at?“ was answered most often. Perhaps this is an indication of a high level of awareness of one’s own skills. Exactly what we want to strengthen further.
The most frequently mentioned answer to the question about skills was: „Languages“. At the same time, according to most of the participants, language, in this case German, is also the most important criterion for successfully entering the German job market. And as German is said to be a difficult language, language can also be a hurdle. We will have to work on that.
The participants in the survey rate their academic and technical skills highly and, according to the results of an initial analysis, would particularly like support with time planning and time management.
Good time management is something we at the Career Service also will need when we launch our skills development workshops in November. We promise to do our best.
A good blog should always be ahead of its time. Sometimes it publishes something that is actually not yet released for publication. Here our Career Leak, a clip of Version 3 of the current planning file:

… can form a strong connection. In one of our last Career Service seminars we discussed the topic of machines reading applications and how metadate can reduce or increase the success of your application. Afterwards Sabrina, one of the participants, did some further research on the subject. She has now sent us the following text. Many thanks.
Sabrina’s blog-entry for the Career Service:
Imagine you’re trying to find the perfect book in a massive library. How do you locate it among thousands of others? The answer lies in metadata. Metadata is like a librarian’s secret tool, providing the context surrounding a piece of information, making it easier to understand and find. A library’s metadata includes book categories, subjects, authors, titles, and physical attributes like weight and dimensions. This detailed information helps librarians organize and locate books efficiently, ensuring you can find what you’re looking for.
But metadata’s power extends beyond libraries. The standard definition of metadata is „data about data“; more elaborately, metadata provides context about a piece of information, making it easier to find and understand.
Tech companies like Google and Facebook use metadata to gather insights about individuals. By analyzing patterns in your digital communication—who you talk to, how often, and how you communicate—they can learn a lot about you without ever reading the content of your messages.
Understanding metadata is crucial. It’s a powerful tool that impacts how we navigate our information-rich world, helping us find what we need while posing significant privacy considerations.
Metadata in a PDF refers to the information embedded within the document that details its content, origin, and attributes. This information helps organize, find, and manage the document. Here are the critical components of PDF metadata:
This metadata is used by search engines, document management systems, and users to understand and locate documents more efficiently.
To unlock the secrets hidden within a PDF’s metadata, follow these steps:
Sometimes, you can update the default metadata to make it more meaningful and more accessible to track. Follow our simple steps to quickly modify the metadata in your PDFs, saving you time and simplifying your work.
This guide will show you how to change or add metadata to an existing PDF easily.
This guide is designed to make your work life a little easier and more efficient!
Step-by-Step Guide:
It’s that simple.
Updating metadata in a PDF is like giving your document a makeover, boosting its accuracy, searchability, and privacy protection. By ensuring that the document’s information reflects its content accurately, adding relevant keywords for easy searching, and safeguarding sensitive details, you enhance its overall quality and usability. Plus, maintaining brand consistency and legal compliance adds an extra layer of professionalism and security.
… that’s all I can say and a big thank you. I have just received the first test print of the new program flyer from UniPrint. Now it’s on my desk. Next week it will be available in many places on campus. Take a look at the new program. We look forward to seeing you.
… we are ready for the freshman welcome next week on Monday. I just picked up three packages from the in-house print shop. And now posters, flyers and postcards with the program for the winter semester are waiting in our office to be distributed. If you feel like it, just drop by on Monday, October 9, on the Adolf Reichwein Campus, starting at 9:00 a.m. in the Audimax. We are looking forward to seeing you.
… with your studies. That was the title of today’s Career Service workshop on AR Campus. We were part of the theme day “doubts about your studies”, organized by the colleagues from the central student advisory service. The topic, not so easy. The participants, curious. And of course everything about finding you career path. Classical Career Service tasks.
The event was all about getting to know methods for developing your own individual strategies. Many questions, many new ideas. We would like to thank you for the interesting event and the lively participation. And if you still have questions while thinking about the ideas from today, just write an e-mail and we will see how we can find answers. We are looking forward to your questions.
… heard the last lecture. It’s 5 p.m., the online university day is over, you turn around, still on the desk chair. You spent the whole day in front of your screen, and now, from one moment to another, you’re at home. And that brings you back to questions, perhaps discussed in the morning at the breakfast table with parents or friends, and you wonder what you can do with all the academic stuff, later in your professional life. And of course you still have some applications waiting to be sent. The application for the internship, mandatory in the next semester for example, and for the job, of course, which you hope is to follow the study, seamlessly, if possible.
This is exactly the situation the career:IMPLUS seminars have been designed for. In the evening, when your university work has been done, one hour focusing on a topic from the area of application and career planning. Compact information, background knowledge and many opportunities to get involved, so that no question remains unanswered and the evening is relaxed and made well use of. The goal: You can plan your career path with a new perspective.
