3 Start a professional/vocational training developing the skills you need to work in a specific industry or job

4 Find an employment and enter working life directly

5 Public Employment Service Austria

6 Career choice What is important? What do you need to consider?

7 Most important factor should be your PERSONAL INTERESTS and ABILITIES How to find them?

8 Sometimes the way we see ourselves differs a lot from the way other people see us. To get a clearer view of yourself it can be useful to get some external assessment (from friends and family). Strengths and weaknesses profile: Question Which special skills/abilities do I have? What am I really good at? Which tasks present difficulties for me? In which areas do I still need to work on myself? Which job (area) is not for me? Self-perception Evaluation by others

9 John Holland: RIASEC test Realistic (Doers), Investigative (Thinkers), Artistic (Creators), Social (Helpers), Enterprising (Persuaders), and Conventional (Organizers)

10 Other possibilities to get personal career counseling Psychologische Studierenberatung ÖH (Österreichische HochschülerInnenschaft) at/fileadmin/upload/key2success/cd/content/fl8/startme.html (key2success)

11 Get information on the job market Encyclopedia of jobs (more than 1,800 jobs described) : Find out in which areas work force is needed and which qualifications are required : Have a look at job advertisements in newspapers or in the internet

12 Gap Year choices: Au-pair: spend 6-12 months abroad taking care of children, babysitting, cleaning (30 hours) Voluntary social year: 6-18 months working in social, charitable or public utilities, inside or outside the country Doing casual work in an EU member state (summerjob, European jobs network), or in Austria Military or community service (not only for boys)

13 Professional /vocational training (Higher Education) Study at University: Bologna System (Bachelor, Master, Doctorate)

14 Study at University of Applied Sciences: Fachhochschule (BA,MA) Study at a College: 2 years condensed of vocational schools Study at a School of Education PH: training to become a teacher in primary and secondary education Apprenticeship after the A-Levels: in some fields a year less than usual

15 Start a job Main fields after A-Levels: Public services Regional administration (Bund, Länder, Gemeinden) Representations of interest (chamber of commerce/agriculture) Health insurance / social insurance Banks and insurances Commercial concerns (airlines,...) Usually accompanied by some sort of vocational training

16 How to find a job? Networking: ask friends, family, acquaintances Do some casual work to gain experience (also for your CV) In newspapers Online job boards, career centers

17 Application for a job (=basically advertisement for yourself, it is the first impression an employer gets, hence very important) contains: Personal Statement or Letter of Application: provide additional information on your skills and experience (why you are qualified for the job that you are applying for) Curriculum vitae (EU standard CV) Foto (portrait) Certificates, school reports,...

19 Your task: According to your strength and weaknesses, the test you took to find out about your interests and skills, and you personal requirements, try to find the job that would suit you best and would make you happy. Find out about the requirements for this job, the education/training you need for it and find a job advertisement on the internet where this job is offered.
