Anja - Project Coordinator
My tasks are: Coordination of project offers and project applications, branding and communication strategy for S-TEC, the Stuttgart Technology and Innovation Campus, interface function: within and across institutes as well as between scientific institutions, business and politics.
When I started my Bachelor's degree programme, I took the opportunity to gain an insight into various departments in different sectors: Starting in controlling, through logistics to marketing and sales. This crystallised my interest in coordinative and conceptual activities with cross-departmental collaboration.
Yes, I attended several seminars at the Career Centre during my studies: Looking back, I find the seminars "Authenticity instead of perfection", "Conversation and argumentation - finding the right arguments on the job" and "Conflict management and team dynamics" very helpful and valuable in terms of starting my career and everyday working life.
Self-competence: taking responsibility, proactivity, time management.
Methodological competence: strong communication skills, presentation skills, diplomatic skills, ability to deal with conflict.
During my Master's degree, I worked as a student assistant at the Career Centre. As a contact person at networking events, such as career and first-time fairs, there were always new contacts and unforeseen problems to which I had to respond appropriately. #lifelonglearning
I ask myself why crises have to escalate before a rethink takes place. Hence my motto: small changes, big difference. Take advantage of the opportunities available to you, attend webinars, educate yourself and think outside the box. After all, the purpose of career orientation is to find a direction, not a path.
