Was kann ich in meinem Job verdienen? - Oft hängt die Antwort vom eigenen Verhandlungstalent ab.
Bei uns lernst du was du brauchst, um erfolgreich aus deiner Gehaltsverhandlung zu gehen.
In Zusammenarbeit mit Saarlandversicherungen geben wir dir Tipps zur Vorbereitung, wir zeigen dir aber auch was realistische Vorstellungen sind und wie du das Thema richtig kommunizierst. Im Anschluss kannst du all deine Fragen in einer offenen Fragerunde klären.

The Student Career Roadmap is the tool we have developed in order to guide you through the steps leading to your job in Saarland, Germany and Europe. This Roadmap is a customisable support tool you can personalise to your needs, your field of studies and your professional goals.
It works both like a map and a checklist: you check the knowledge you possess so far, you identify the elements that you still need to integrate into your path and you create a series of interconnected milestones you want to achieve to reach your final destination: integration in your new society through the job you want.
It is composed of two main stages, spread out throughout the whole length of your studies at university. After all, we shall not forget that integration into the labour market is as a long-term process anchored in your student life cycle from the very beginning. Get to know the stages of the Student Career Roadmap.
And don’t worry if you do not have an answer to every step of the map. You can count on us during the whole process!
Date: 14 November 2023, 5 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Place: online (MS Teams)
Speaker: Níkolas Gómez

Registering for an event: FAQs
You can register for as many events as you like. If you want to register for more than one event, simply access your shopping cart and click/tap on 'Add tickets for a different date'.
We always try to make enough places available. If an event you're interested in is fully booked, you can add your name to the waiting list on the event registration page. If a place becomes available, you will automatically receive a message containing a registration code. The registration code will remain valid for 48 hours, after which the place will be offered to the next person on the waiting list.
Don't let that confuse you! We use a ticketing system similar to that used in the events industry, which is why some of the terms on the registration pages are similar to those found in online shops. But you don't have to pay anything! All our events and workshops are completely free of charge. The 'ticket' that you add to your 'shopping cart' is simply a means of confirming that you have registered for that event.
We're sorry to hear you can't make it and we hope you can attend next time. If you know you won't be able to attend an event, please don't forget to let us know.
