Anju
BSc 2012, from nearby Frankfurt am Main (Germany)

“Thanks to the vast variety of companies in the Career Center network I was able to try different industries (consumer goods, consulting, banking, start-up) during my internships and in the end ended up with the company I got to know in my very first week at WHU during a company presentation: Bain & Company. Make the best use of everything the Career Center has to offer (fairs, presentations, networking events, etc.) to find out what you are professionally most interested in.”

Karina
BSc 2012, from Velbert (Germany)

“When I started studying at WHU, I had a lot of different ideas about future career options. The many events on campus where I met company representatives from a wide range of industries and various types of companies really helped me to develop a clearer picture of potential jobs. Moreover, personal interaction conveys a lot about corporate culture and gives you a feeling for where you might fit in. Therefore, I already felt very confident that I was on the right track when I started my professional career directly after my bachelor's degree. Even now, I am still in contact with the Career Center to exchange ideas with current students about starting in industry roles and like to offer them insights into my working world, just as other alumni have offered them to me in the past.”
