FoR students & Graduates withOUT experience

"I will help you in getting your first job." 

You received your diploma and look for a good entry job? 

BUT you have no work experience? Maybe only a mediocre exam? How can you win over all your competitors, who perhaps already have experience?

PMB: "I will explain and show, how you demonstrate your readiness and motivation for a good job in a good company. You’ll learn, to start your professional future whether by entering in your first job or in an internship, that can be a very valuable first "job experience" to get your desired job, too. Together we "bring you in the job market" by presenting:

• your most important soft skills and & hard skills 
• your experiences from your private life, college, university etc.
• your experiences from your "survival job" at McDonald's, your "house cleaning experience" or your practica in the local fabrics

Why can I help you with getting your first job? When I looked for my first job after school, the German job market was really horrible. So I wanted to do an officer's career in the German military. Till I noticed, that they somehow did not like, how my commands made the girls smile:-)

FROM A LAZY STUDENT TO A GERMAN TOP CONSULTANT 

After I got the chance, to complete a special training to become a young manager in an international German company (4,000+ employees). Within 3 years I made my career and was responsible for 50+ female and male employees. Then with 23 years I started my own business as a consultant for young professionals & managers.

Soon academies & private universities engaged me as a "drill instructor" and junior professor for their students in the subjects:

• Active Job-Hunting-Strategies 
• Assessment Center-Training & Active Career Choice
• Professional Self-Marketing & Personal Branding
• Speaking Free & Relaxed in Front of Groups
• Professional Presentations to Examination Boards

The students and graduates have been from studies like business administration & management, engineering & technics, IT, law, health & medicine, sales & marketing, multimedia/design, finance & accounting, office, hotel business etc.

"I will help you with your first job!"

2. understand Colombia'S Job Market. THEN USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.

You also can get information about job markets in the Americas, Europe, Asia (e.g. Germany currently offers 3,000,000+ jobs. 780,000 are for young talents).

1. PREPARe yourself for your ACTIVE HUNT for JOBs

• Walk in the shoes of the ones, who can hire you! Boost your job chances and think like HR managers & recruiters in companies and HR agencies.

• Identify your best matching companies/ employers as your "target groups.
• Identify the "burning problems" in your profession / position and of your target group of companies.
• Identify the persons, who really decide, if YOU get the job: The decision-makers" in the companies. These mostly are not the recruiters!.
