EBS Career Services

EBS Career Services supports you in shaping your career, setting professional goals, and exploring new opportunities. Whether you are looking for your first internship, preparing to enter the job market, planning your next career move, or still exploring your options, EBS offers guidance and practical support.

We offer individual career counselling, career coaching, and practical career development support to help you better understand your strengths, make informed decisions, and work towards your goals.

Career Counselling

Career counselling is available if you need advice or support with questions related to your studies, professional life, or career choices.

Career counselling can help you with:

• planning your studies and exploring career opportunities;
• finding a job or internship;
• preparing your CV and cover letter;
• preparing for job interviews;
• balancing work and studies;
• addressing challenges related to study motivation, learning skills, and adjusting to university life.

Career counselling helps you better understand your options, find answers to specific questions, and make informed decisions.

Career Coaching and Professional Development

Career coaching helps you better understand your strengths, values, and motivation, gain clarity about your career choices, and set goals for your professional development. Unlike traditional career counselling, coaching focuses primarily on exploring your own thoughts, possibilities, and solutions.

Career coaching may be suitable for you if you want to:

• gain clarity about your career direction and future plans;
• better understand your strengths, values, and what motivates you;
• set personal and professional goals and plan how to achieve them;
• explore different career opportunities or prepare for career changes;
• overcome challenges that may be holding you back from moving forward.

Career coaching is an individual and confidential process consisting of three sessions, each lasting up to 60 minutes. During these sessions, we focus on your goals, opportunities, and next steps. Between sessions, you will have the opportunity to reflect and work independently on your development.

In addition to career coaching, we offer individual career counselling and practical support in the following areas:

• Self-Awareness and Personal Value Proposition – identifying your strengths, skills, values, and interests, and learning how to communicate what makes you stand out.
• Career Planning and Development – exploring career directions, setting goals, creating a personal career plan, and preparing for career transitions.
• Professional Presence and Networking – improving your CV and LinkedIn profile, developing your personal brand, and building professional connections.
• Job Search and Next Career Steps – developing a job search strategy, preparing for interviews, and improving time management and prioritisation skills.

For practical career counselling, a single session may be sufficient, depending on your questions and needs.
