'What Next?' Department of Romance Linguistics to host new careers day

The following text has been machine translated from the German with no human editing.

Former students of the university – including those from the subjects of Intercultural Communication (IK) and German-French Studies (DFS) – who now work in various professional fields will provide insights into their day-to-day work during the careers day. They will highlight the diverse range of career opportunities available to graduates. In short talks, they will explain why intercultural skills, language proficiency and specialist knowledge are key pillars of professional success – both in Europe and beyond.

Paul Langer (DFS), who is currently studying for a Master’s degree in International Relations at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, talks about his work as a freelance journalist for the *Saarbrücker Zeitung* and for *Deutsch-französische Wirtschaftsakteure*, a cross-border business and news outlet. Also taking part are Christine Danzer (IK), who works as a coordinating clinical supervisor for international nursing staff, and Sandra Reuther (DFS), Deputy Head of the Public Relations and External Cooperation Department at the Franco-German University. In addition, sports journalist Anne Hilt (Romance Languages, Literature and Linguistics) and Franziska Prinz (IK), who works as an adviser for European and International Affairs, Franco-German Cooperation and the Francophonie at the Saarland State Chancellery , will outline their career paths.
In practical workshops focusing on social media marketing, cross-border journalism and corporate communications, experts will present career paths in these fields and highlight the skills that are particularly in demand.

An internship and careers fair offers the opportunity to discover further fields of work and employers in the Greater Region, to network with alumni and students, and to find out about entry opportunities into higher education and the world of work.
