Will make decision based on where the company is based and where their other branches are

Would like to spend at least 5-10 years working abroad

Wants to know everything about international companies

“best companies to work for” lists and rankings are hard to find and usually based on 1 country but easier to get info about established companies than start-ups.

Looks for a decent pay

Doesn’t want to work for an “evil company”

Wants to be able to identify herself with their products/services on a personal level

Studies abroad

Does student exchange programmes and visits job fairs for information

Searches online for company profiles and what they have to offer to their employees

Looks in online forums for people with similar experience

Has already done 3 internships in her field in 3 different countries

Speaks English, German and Spanish fluently

Asks for recommendations within her peers

It's a big jump from intern to first proper job

What would be the best time to start out applications?

Not sure how to stand out and how important are personal contacts?

How can I represent myself in the best way possible?

Hard to tell if a job would be too demanding/easy/hard/boring and no idea about wage and what appropriate hackling is like

Lack of information in the day-to-day of certain job profilesWhat is the best for me and how can I be of best help for my employee?

Am I enough prepared?

Page 4: Ariane's empathy presentation

As a student you're part of a big group/community but as a graduate job seeker you're on your own and it feels a bit lonely

wants to feel proud to work for what company she works

Feels a little lost sieving through the Internet for specific information and scared of difficult questions in job interviews

confident about her abilities but at the same time unprepared for challenges to come

Feels insecure doing "business networking" as a student

wishes there would be more guidance/mentor-ing for the next steps
