In order to raise your chances in job interviews, we offer mock interviews in German to train your interview skills.

Events and workshops

We organise workshops about relevant topics, company presentations as well as field trips to renowned cooperating companies from the Mainfranken region. Events are offered in Würzburg as well as Schweinfurt and are conducted mainly in German.

With our offers, we would like to complement the students’ professional qualification and offer both students and companies the opportunity to establish mutually beneficial contacts. An overview of all Career Service events is available in German on the THWS E-Learning.

Tips on job search and applications

In the Guide to starting your career in Germany by the Federal Employment Agency, you will find useful information regarding job search and applications in Germany. You can also make an appointment there for individual advice.

For searching jobs online, you may use, for example:

• Hochschul-Jobbörse (an online vacancy database initiated by various higher education institutions)
• Job Board by the Federal Employment Agency

You can always search for a job and show your availability by creating your personal profile in an online job portal or professional online networks.

You should also make use of job fairs or trade fairs to get into contact with companies. Since 2020, THWS participates in the job fair JOBMESSE study&stay, which takes place each year in November.

For starting a career, information is also provided by the International Career Service.
