Social Networks as a Springboard for Careers
How does a digital contact become a professional opportunity? In the Zoom event of the University of Duisburg-Essen, students and graduates will learn about the role social networks play in career planning and recruiting. The event is aimed at students and graduates of all disciplines and connects academic advice with practical insights from personnel consulting.
Career planning now also starts online
LinkedIn, Xing, and other professional networks shape the modern working world. A compelling profile, suitable contacts, and a professional online presence create visibility exactly where companies seek talent. The event explains these developments in an understandable way and shows how social networks can be effectively integrated into one's professional strategy.
Practical knowledge from consulting and recruiting
The Academic Advising Center of UDE organizes the event in cooperation with the international personnel consulting firm Hays. The focus is on the connection between networking, applications, and career orientation. Participants will receive impulses for their target audience approach, building professional contacts, and handling digital profiles professionally.
The event is particularly suited for students nearing graduation, graduates entering the workforce, as well as anyone wishing to structure their career planning and expand their job market opportunities. The digital format allows for easy participation directly from one's workplace or from home.
Relevance for entering the profession
Research and career counseling have shown for years that social networks play an important role in the transition from study to work life. It is not about having as many contacts as possible, but about suitable relationships, credible content, and a clearly recognizable professional focus. This perspective makes the event a valuable addition to traditional application strategies.
Conclusion: Strategically use digital contacts for the future
The Zoom event provides orientation for a working world where recruiting, networking, and digital visibility are increasingly interrelated. Those wishing to sharpen their professional presence and consciously use social networks for career planning will receive concrete suggestions for the next steps at this UDE event.
