Paper planes landed …

… on the desk in the Career Service office.

Many thanks to all the fantastic students who took part in the Welcome Week of Fak. III. It was great for us to be able to present our universities Career Service with a short workshop-experiment.

Here how it worked: Think of a situation where you were successful. What talent helped you achieve that? Take a blank sheet of paper; fold it that it becomes a paper plane. (That was the unexpected difficult part of the experiment.) Now put down words on the planes surface that describe the talents, competencies and qualifications that helped you to be successful.

And then 41 paper plains made their way to the presenters’ desk.

Here from the paper planes some skills and talents we find interesting to keep in mind:

  • creativity
  • adaptability
  • consistency
  • persistency
  • consistent and disciplined
  • asking for help
  • competency = analyzing pros & cons before doing a concert thing.
  • imagination
  • empathy
  • patience
  • adaptive
  • knowledge transfer
  • foocused
  • consistent
  • immigrating to a new country and finding my way
  • learning
  • creativity
  • courage
  • patience
  • know what tools to use

And if you, reading this list, want to add something, some skills, competencies or qualifications that helped you to be successful in your studies, in your job, just don’t hesitate and send an e-mail to info@career.uni-siegen.de . We will put your word in the list above.

Ending …

… the year together. How do you spend your Christmas time? Are you relaxed or stressed? Shortly before the end of the year, the Career Service team at the University of Siegen met once again for a relaxed evening with a delicious meal. With a good mood and new plans, we will continue next year. We say goodbye to a nice Christmas break and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Between …

… Work and vacation. In the course of the first ATHENA Career Service meeting, we met with the Career Services of the ATHENA partner universities at the Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU) in Chania on Crete in mid-May. Besides exchanging the different ways of working at the respective universities, we also worked on future joint projects. In addition to the work, there was always enough time in the evenings to enjoy a little vacation feeling. The exchange with students who had come to HMU for the tenth International Week, which took place at the same time, also brought us some new and exciting perspectives.

A change of perspective not only creates great photos, but also helps you grow both personally and professionally.
