Preface by Career Services FHNW

Dear Students,

With us, your career is in good hands. Career Services FHNW offers you professional, practice-oriented support for your entry into a career, for example in the form of databases, guides or links, through individual counselling, with a mentoring programme or in our Assessment and Orientation Centre.

POSITIONING: DETERMINING WHERE YOU STAND

Positioning – Overview

The first step in the application process is determining where you stand. It forms the basis of a focused search for jobs, sectors and functions. It requires you to examine yourself intensively and reveals your own strengths and weaknesses, interests, motivations and values. It also enables you to appear competent and self-confident to potential employers.

The positioning process delivers answers to three central questions:

 What am I good at?

 What is important to me?

 What am I looking for?

On the following pages you will find numerous questions and exercises to determine your own position. This can be done several times during your course of study, as certain elements only crystallise over time. Sufficient time and quiet are needed to work through the questions. It is advisable to discuss the results with your family or close friends, as they often have a clear picture of you.

What am I good at? What is important to me?

Career library: You can also access all the checklists for this chapter online.

What am I good at? – My skills

Expertise

During your studies and your professional activity, you acquired a variety of professional competencies. These include not only knowledge in business administration such as marketing, accounting or management, but also skills in processes and methods, or the mastery of software or foreign languages.

In order to know your own strengths, it is best to look at your work references, diplomas, language certificates and course confirmations. Then list the professional skills documented in them one by one. Experience from internships, stays abroad or volunteer work may also have created new knowledge.

Professional skills I acquired during my studies and in schools

University / school My strongest subject… My weakest subject…

Professional skills I acquired during internships and on the job

Company / Position

Knowledge I could apply with ease…

Knowledge I could only apply with difficulty…

How will seeing different paths help you reach your destination? A career story as unique as you. It’s yours to build.

Character strengths and personality

In the following list includes a variety of traits that make people unique and distinctive. Identifying these traits can help you determine what kind of corporate culture and team you would like to work in. The greater the match between you and the environment, the more comfortable you will feel – and the more successful you will be.

In the "self-image" column of the list, mark your characteristics on a scale from what you hardly show (1) to what is particularly prominent (4). Then give the list to one or two other people who know you well and ask them to fill in the column "external image".

enterprising enthusiastic entrepreneurial fiery flexible focused forgiving free-spirited friendly generous good listener helpful honest humorous idealistic impressionable independent interested inventive knowledgeable leader logical mediating modest open organised original outgoing patient perceptive political

Characteristicst

positive practical proactive productive professional quality-conscious quick reasonable rebellious resourceful responsible results-oriented self-sacrificing sensitive sensorial shrewd sincere skilful sociable social stable strong successful sympathetic tactful thoughtful trustworthy understanding unpretentious warm-hearted well-read

In the following, compare your own assessment with the two external images of others. In which strengths are there similarities (confirmed strengths)? Where do you have strengths that you are not aware of (blind spots)? And where do you think you have strengths that are not perceived by others (hidden strengths)?

Transferable competencies

Take your time and in the column "self-image" mark your self-assessment of to which extent these competencies are visible (1 = you hardly ever show them, 4 = you show them very often). Then ask one or two people to make an assessment in the column "external image".

JOB MARKET

Job market – Overview

The search for a suitable position requires detailed knowledge of the job market and the possible companies and job sectors. Many people will be surprised by how numerous the possibilities are at the end of their studies. And most of the time, there are also a considerable number of options that you didn't even think of spontaneously.

So the next step is to answer the following questions:

 How is the job market structured and which sectors am I interested in?

 What are the differences between companies and what qualities are important to me in looking for a job?

 Which fields of activity are there and which of them appeal to me personally?

This section also provides more information on networks and career fairs, as well as examples of former students who describe how they got started in their careers

Application and selection process

The search for the right job can be very time-consuming and nerve-wracking. To start, you have to find vacancies in the first place. Then you send in your application documents, after which the selection process at the company begins.

In this section, you will learn how to find jobs, how to prepare your application and which selection processes are common today

Jobs for women www.frauenjobs.ch

Company websites

In addition, you can of course always search for vacancies on company websites. This is a very interesting option, especially for larger corporations.

Recruitment agencies

Recruitment agencies specialise in finding candidates for job profiles. They usually maintain extensive databases in order to quickly find the right people when needed. Of course, their work is not free – but the costs are covered by the future employer. If a recruitment agency charges you a fee, it is not above board.

Unsolicited applications (on your own initiative)

Jobs are often not advertised at all, but filled directly: companies fall back on a pool of applications they have received in the past. Of course, you can apply to a company at any time, even if there is no specific vacancy advertised. Your documents are then usually stored in a database and consulted as needed.

Traineeprogramme

Want to start your career straight after graduating? Trainee programmes offer a structured opportunity to gain initial professional experience and to develop both professionally and personally.

What can you expect from a trainee programme?

 Intensive induction: You will spend time in various departments and gain a comprehensive insight into the company.

 Varied tasks: You take on your own projects and work closely with experienced colleagues.

 Individual support: Many programmes include special training courses and seminars to develop your skills in a targeted manner.

 Networking: You make valuable contacts within the company and the industry.

The decision for a trainee programme depends on your individual goals. If you primarily want to gain practical experience and get to know different areas of a company before committing to a specific position, such a programme could be ideal. Trainee programmes also often offer good opportunities if you value individual support and further training.

To find the right programme, it is worth taking a look at the websites of the companies of your choice. Online job portals such as LinkedIn or Xing also offer a large selection of trainee positions.

www.traineeprogramme.ch

Understanding job adverts

It is crucial to analyse the job advertisement correctly and to correctly identify the most important core elements. A distinction is made between mandatory and optional requirements. Must-have requirements are skills that you should definitely have, while can-have requirements are desirable but not essential. Make sure that your application documents clearly emphasise all must-have requirements.

Read the advert text carefully. The job advert usually includes a presentation of the company, the requirements profile and your area of responsibility.

- Introduction of the company: In this part of the job advert, the company is introduced to you in a few words.

- Main tasks or description of the position: The main tasks of the position are outlined in this part of the job advert.

- Qualifications:

 Must-have requirements are skills that the employer wants you to have in any case. If you fulfil these requirements, make sure that they are listed on your CV in each case.

 Optional requirements are the less important criteria and are declared as desirable or optional requirements. You do not necessarily have to fulfil these requirements, but it is a plus if you have the relevant qualifications.

Tip: Mark mandatory and optional requirements with different colours!

 Offer: This is where the company presents the most attractive aspects of the position and what it can offer you as a future employee. Use this information to develop targeted questions for the interview and emphasise your interest in the position.

Important: Apply even if you do not fulfil all but most of the requirements. There are not always candidates who fulfil all the requirements. We therefore recommend that you apply for a position even if you do not fulfil all but most of the mandatory requirements.

Additions to the Short Profile

Your short profile on your CV is like your personal elevator pitch. Imagine you are in a lift with a potential employer and only have a few seconds to convince them of your merits. Your short profile is precisely this concise summary of your most important qualifications and goals. It is often the first thing recruiters read and can be decisive in whether your CV is read further. With a good short profile, you draw attention to your most relevant skills and experience and show that you understand the requirements of the position.

What belongs in the short profile?

 Professional qualifications: Your degree, specialisations, relevant internships or work experience.

 Core competences: Your key skills and strengths that qualify you for the job.

 Goals: What do you want to achieve? Where do you see yourself in the future?

Formulate your short profile precisely and avoid general phrases. Describe your skills in concrete terms and adapt your brief profile to the requirements of the position for each individual application. Stay authentic and write in your own words to show your personality.

General recommendations

 Use the cover letter to briefly and concisely explain why you are interested in the job and the company in question. This is also where you show your suitability for the position you are applying for.

 It should be no longer than one A4 page.

 Address it directly to the person named in the job advertisement.

 Base the layout and presentation on your CV.

Don’t: Too lofty formulations (“a dream would come true for me”) or non-binding messages (“I would be delighted if it were possible that you could find time to meet with me in the next days”).

Wording: active verbs

So-called "active verbs" are best for describing activities, and they play an important role both in the CV (listing the most important tasks in a previous job) and the cover letter. We recommend you use active verbs instead of nouns (e.g. "analysed monthly reports" instead of "analysis of monthly reports"). See the compilation of active verbs below.

Active verbs to describe activities achieve coordinate interpret reorganise analyse deal introduce represent build up delegate lead resolve calculate design moderate review carry out develop negotiate solve clarify establish organise supervise co-author evaluate participate support collaborate execute plan teach collect extend program train compile finalise provide write consult formulate redesign

Your LinkedIn-Profil

Social media and platforms such as LinkedIn and Xing offer you the possibility to create your own profile, as well as to obtain information about companies or even to find job advertisements. Maintaining your own profile plays an important role, as this information is also looked at by employee recruiters. See our recommendations for designing your LinkedIn profile below.

 Photo: Make sure you use a professional photo in which both the lighting conditions and the proportions are right. The photo is always the first element to be viewed and is therefore of particular importance.

 Banner: In addition to your photo, you can use a banner that gives your presentation even more profile. Pay attention to the image’s aspect ratio. You can also add any text to the banner (integrated into the image you uploaded).

 Personalised URL: In LinkedIn, the URL to your profile can be personalised, making it easier to search and communicate. In addition, this URL can also be listed on your CV (or displayed with a QR code).

 Thoroughness: You should list all education and training, including professional experience. Your profile should show the same information that’s in your CV for applications.

 Profile slogan: Complete your profile with a concise slogan that makes it clear what you are looking for and what you have to offer.

 Info: In this section you can detail what you offer and what you are looking for. Even if it looks like a lot of text (max. 2,000 characters), this section will be viewed by prospective employers when you apply for a job. You can also make it more vibrant with emojis.

 Knowledge and skills: List knowledge and skills you have acquired during your studies and your professional career to date.

 Project experience: List student projects or your thesis, as well as the tasks you handled during these projects.

 Recommendations: You can ask LinkedIn contacts for a recommendation. They write a short text about how they experienced you in a project or in a previous job, for example.

 Settings: In LinkedIn you can select the settings so that your contacts do not receive a message when you update your profile. This is especially useful if you are planning major revisions. (Settings & Privacy > Visibility > Visibility of your LinkedIn activity > Share profile updates with your network > Off).

 Multilingual profile: If you're looking for international jobs, you can create complementary profiles in other languages, such as German or French.

Be active on LinkedIn by posting yourself or commenting on other people's posts. This will get you noticed. In addition, you can often view job advertisements on LinkedIn and apply directly via the platform.

The job interview

The company will make an initial selection of candidates for the vacancy and invite them for an interview. The interview can take different forms and use different communication channels. Here are the essential basics and tips to help you prepare

Interview forms: Structured or semi-structured

Depending on the degree of standardisation of the questions, interviews are structured or semistructured (completely unstructured ones are very rare).

In structured interviews, the interview follows a pre-determined questionnaire that does not allow any leeway in changing the order of the questions. Follow-up questions are rarely asked. This makes it easier to compare the candidates, as they have all received exactly the same questions.

Semi-structured interviews allow a little more leeway. Although they also follow a predefined pattern, follow-up questions can be asked and planned questions can be omitted. This technique is very common in practice, as the company can respond more individually to the candidates.

Telephone interviews

For cost reasons, companies increasingly rely on telephone interviews for the first interview. Here are some recommendations to consider when you prepare:

 Basically, preparation is exactly the same as for a face-to-face interview, with a few added "technical" aspects.

 Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed and there are no background noises.

 Avoid making unnecessary noises yourself, such as chewing gum or smoking during the interview.

 Have your documents (CV, cover letter) and writing materials ready in case you need to make notes or look something up.

 Speak clearly and in a strong voice, but not too fast. Give acoustic feedback (e.g. "Mmmhmm", "I understand", etc.). Also demonstrate a positive attitude on the phone.

Interview preparation

Preparation is of great importance for a successful interview:

 Gather information about the company beforehand: read through the website, search newspaper articles or annual reports, look at reports on social media.

 Think about questions you would like to ask the company. Make a note of these questions and take them with you to the interview

 Find out about the interview process and the participants

 Read the job advertisement again beforehand and match the required skills with your own strengths and experience

 Choose appropriate clothes in which you feel comfortable (overdressed is better than underdressed).

Sequence of a typical job interview

Even in semi-structured interviews, the interview usually follows a clear sequence:

 Introduction: This serves as an ice-breaker and should define the atmosphere for the interview. Be friendly and open, pay attention to your body language from the beginning.

 Introduction of the company and the vacancy: The company introduces itself and gives background information about the vacancy. Be attentive and make a note of questions you would like to ask later.

 Introduction of the applicant: In this part you introduce yourself and your CV. Keep it natural and authentic. Speak clearly and be friendly. The interviewer will ask you some typical application questions.

 The job vacancy: The vacancy will then be discussed in more detail. This is usually about the exact tasks, requirements, development opportunities, etc. You can also ask some of your own questions at this point.

 Your questions: Visibly take out the written questions you prepared beforehand to show the company your interest. You should only talk about salary issues when you are asked to do so.

 Terms of the contract: The company will explain the main elements of the employment contract, such as fringe benefits, holidays, notice periods, earliest date of employment, etc. The company will then ask you about your salary expectations. For the question about your salary expectations, you should give an annual salary as a basis (to save the conversion into 13 or 14 months' wages).

 Further procedure and conclusion: This clarifies which steps will be taken, by when and by whom. Who contacts whom, in what form, etc.? Thank them in a friendly way for the interesting conversation and for their time.

Body language in job interviews

Non-verbal statements are often almost more important than verbal ones, but they are usually very underestimated. Here are some tips for positive body language:

 Posture: choose an open, active posture, with your hands visible on the table, your arms uncrossed. Change your posture from time to time.

 Facial expression: try to smile even during difficult moments. Show a "friendly face" and an open general attitude.

 Eye contact: consciously seek eye contact with the person you are talking to.

 Voice: speak clearly and at a sufficient volume

Typical questions

Below are some examples of typical job application questions. Prepare for them and practise interviews with friends.

Curriculum vitae, career:

 Explain your CV with the main points from your point of view

 What motivated you to choose your studies??

 What did you focus on during your studies and why?

 What are your plans for your professional future?

Motivation for the application:

 Why did you apply to us?

 What do you know about our company?

 What particularly appeals to you about the task described?

 How do you relate to our products and services?

Performance motivation:

 Why should we hire you in particular?

 What is particularly important to you at work?

 Where would you like to be professionally in five years?

 What past achievements are you particularly proud of?

 How do you deal with failures?

Background:

 How would you characterise yourself?

 What would friends or former superiors say about you?

 How would you like to develop personally?

Competence-based questions:

 Describe a situation in which you were particularly challenged. How did you deal with it?

 Describe a situation in which you had to work in a team

Situational, hypothetical questions:

 How do you react when two team members have difficulties with each other and ask you for advice?

 What do you do when a customer calls and complains about one of your colleagues?

Some practical tips for the interview

Interviews have many unwritten laws, which does not make the interview any easier for candidates. The following tips should help you prepare:

 Let the interviewer start the conversation and do not interrupt them. Speak at length, but don't get chatty.

 Do not criticise previous employers.

 Don't get flustered and keep a cool head in any situation. Be flexible with unexpected questions.

 Avoid statements that could be misunderstood ("I certainly don't want to work 12 hours a day, I’ve got a private life too!") or perceived as arrogant ("I'm the best in this field!").

 Try to adapt to your counterpart and respond to their reactions. If the other person is silent for a long time, pick the conversation up again and let them speak

Video interviews

Video interviews have been increasingly popular for some time. They offer a number of advantages over traditional interviews (where you meet the company representatives in person). Apart from the fact that you don't have to travel to the interview, the main advantage is that you do the interview from home and are therefore in a familiar environment.

There are three typical forms of video:

 Video interview (synchronous in time): You meet on a common video conference platform (Skype, Zoom, Google Hangouts, etc.). The interview is most similar to the classic job interview, both in terms of the process itself and in terms of the questions.

 Recorded interview (asynchronous in time): This is usually done using specialised software where you dial in at any time. The system will then display a few questions, to which you record your answers. These are then sent to the company. You usually only have a defined number of attempts and a time limit of two to three minutes (per question) to record your answers.

 Sales pitch: In this case, you are typically given 30 to 60 seconds to record a "sales video" about yourself. Here you win over the company by promoting yourself as if you were a product.

Technical requirements

Basically, the same rules apply to video interviews as to face-to-face interviews. However, there are additional technical requirements that necessitate a certain amount of preparation.

 Camera and microphone: Both must be of good quality to achieve a clear picture and good sound. Test the equipment before the interview.

 Lighting: Ideally, set it up so that the light comes from the front to avoid shadows on your face. If your room has a window, sit so that you have as much daylight as possible in your face. If this is not possible, place a lamp behind the camera.

 Camera position: The camera should be at eye level for a good shot of your face. Ideally, it should be about an arm's length away from you so that the proportions are right and part of the background is visible.

 Background: Make sure the background is tidy and neutral. Pictures on the wall are allowed if they are not distracting or give a false image of you

 Clothing: Choose the same type of clothes you would wear for a face-to-face interview. For technical reasons, strong patterns (checks, stripes, sequins, etc.) are not advisable. Unicoloured clothes are ideal.

Conducting a conversation

In principle, the same rules apply here as in a personal conversation: be friendly, open and authentic. However, there are additional requirements for technical reasons

 Language: Speak clearly and distinctly so that you are well understood. Make additional pauses to give your counterpart the opportunity to ask questions or change the subject.

 Facial expressions and gestures: Use your facial expressions as you would in a natural conversation. Although the image may be a little smaller in the video conference, it will still be seen. You can also use your hands to emphasise key messages. If the camera distance is good, these gestures will be noticed.

 Look at the camera: Do not look at your screen (although this may seem very natural to you); instead look directly at the camera. This establishes eye contact with the person you are speaking to. You can also stick a marker next to your camera to remind yourself.

 Note: During a video call, no one can see what you have placed next to your computer. Use this, for example, to look at your CV or to make important notes (about the job and about yourself).

 Taking notes: Of course, you are also allowed to take notes during a video interview. Ideally, you should do this by hand to avoid unnecessary noise from your keyboard.

Wage negotiations

Factors in wage determination

Your salary is determined by a number of factors, including your degree (field of study, level, specialisation), age and experience. In addition, the requirements of the position (e.g. management tasks), industry differences, regional wage differentials or the size of the company can also be a factor. Good preparation will show you what you can realistically expect.

Tips for wage negotiations

Wage negotiations are not arguments – they are about finding a common denominator that works for both parties. This also means that both you and the employer must show a willingness to compromise.

The wage issue is usually raised by the employerr, so answer as specifically as possible in terms of the annual salary you expect. You can find out in advance what salary level is realistic – depending on the industry, the function and the region (see below). Display healthy self-confi-dence, a willingness to negotiate, and be open.

Most of the time, the second offer from the employer is also the last one So your room for negotiation should not be stretched too far.

Of course, successful wage negotiations also depend to a large extent on your tone: so be friendly, communicate with "I" messages ("I consider an industry-standard wage to be im-portant") and don't lose your sense of humour.

Fringe Benefits

Fringe benefits include perks and freebies associated with the job. Typical examples include discounted or free meals in a canteen or drinks in a break room, allowances for mobility (rail passes or half-fare cards, parking spaces at the office), sports programmes for employees, home office options, company car or mobile phone, allowances and infrastructure for childcare, support for continuing education (in the form of time credits and/or financial allowances).

Starting salaries after a degree

The FH Switzerland 2023 salary study (www.fhlohn.ch) shows that with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration FH you can expect an annual salary of CHF 85,000 (Business In-formation Technoly: about CHF 91,000). Of course, there are significant differences between the sectors. For a Master's degree FH, the median is about CHF 105,000. Here, too, there are clear differences between sectors and functions.

Assessment centres and tests

Tests that focus on specific competencies are frequently used in recruitment. Today they are very often conducted online. They include personality tests, performance tests and numerical or verbal tests. It is always important to remain as authentic as possible – after all, it won't help if you get a job where you don't feel comfortable!

A more detailed procedure is the assessment centre, where you complete a whole series of different tasks alone, in pairs and in groups, during which you will be monitored. They usually take place under time pressure in order to test your ability to work under pressure and to concentrate. Below are some typical tasks from assessment centres.

 Presentation: This is a test of your rhetorical skills. You give a presentation on a given topic. There is usually very little time available for preparation. Therefore, make sure you have good time management skills. During the presentation, always maintain eye contact with the assessors and present your thoughts with a smile. The presentation must follow a clear structure.

 Group discussion: A group of several people (often also "competitors" in the application for the same job) discusses a controversial topic. Sometimes you will even be assigned a certain argument, which you have to represent. In this kind of discussion, be engaged, but at the same time thoughtful and calm. Respond to other arguments and admit your own mistakes. Show interest in creating a harmonious atmosphere in the group and work with factual arguments instead of personal emotions.

 Case studies: A group (rarely with individual tasks) works on a complex issue taken from the day business of the company. You develop a workable solution, although here too the process is more important than the actual result. A systematic, holistic approach is central. Show commitment, respond to others' arguments and develop them further. Listen carefully and think aloud so that others can develop the solution with you.

 Role-playing: You are given a few minutes to prepare for a specific role. Often you are the representative of the company talking to unpleasant customers who want to complain to you. Alternatively, you are a superior and have to conduct a conflict discussion with an employee. Here you have to argue convincingly and firmly, but at the same time keep your cool.

The basic rule for assessment centres is that you should remain as authentic as possible. Of course you can try to play a role. But after a few minutes and some pressure, the mask will fall anyway – no matter how practised you are! You also have to be aware that you can always be observed in an assessment centre, even before and after the actual exercise or during the breaks. Therefore, you should try to be friendly, courteous, engaged and active at all times. Good preparation also includes getting enough sleep and choosing appropriate clothing (comfortable, but still professional).
