On June 13 th 2014 the annual career fair Business Contacts takes place for the
seventh time in a row. On this day students from all faculties, fields of studies,
and in all semesters are welcome to make contact with some of the most influential companies in Germany. This year a record number of 50 companies from
all branches and industrial sectors will be providing you with first hand information
on internships, traineeships and direct job entries.
As an additional part of the career fair a wide variety of fringe events that include
a Career Dinner and several Warm-up-Workshops is offered. Here you get the
chance to either talk to corporate representatives in person, or take part in application trainings where professionals will advise you on the process of career planning
and provide you with helpful information on application strategies. In summary, the
career fair constitutes the perfect opportunity for you to introduce yourself in oneon-one conversations and thus enhance your chances for an internship, or a direct
career entry. Finally, there will also be a special Business Breakfast and Alumni Talk
where young professionals tell you more about recent career trends and personal
chances of advancement. To round things up, numerous services such as an application portfolio check, taking application photos and a brief introduction to an etiquette
guide for career fairs are offered.

Our graduates have successfully entered the career world and are

At the Alumni Talk these young professionals will gladly let you know
how they experienced their entrance into the professional life. Topped with cake and coffee the talk will take place in a casual atmosphere. After a brief round of introduction the graduates, of which
most are former students of the University of Münster, will not only
answer general questions about application procedures but also tell
you what their job life looked like in first 100 days and what it looks
like now.

How does enjoying a hot coffee while talking to a potential employer
sound to you? Or eating a delicious croissant while discussing
career opportunities within the company of your dreams?
If you find both these scenarios appealing, join the Business Breakfast. In a more casual atmosphere you are given the rare opportunity
to take part in a conversation with representatives of eight of the
fair’s exhibitioners and talk about career chances, the application
procedure and other topics of the professional world. The breakfast
will begin with a brief introduction of each company. Following that
you are invited to address questions directly to the representatives
to find the company that is most suitable for you.
In order to participate in the Business Breakfast it is recommended to register in advance. If you are interested, send an email to
[email protected]. Please include information about your contact details, field of studies, and current
level of semester.

Price: €10 for an

The right photo is a vital part of your application. Not only does it
make all the difference between a good and a bad first impression,
but seemingly petty features such as your facial expression or your
clothing say a lot about your personality. To make the best of your
application you will be given the chance to have your photo taken by
a professional photographer.
For the price of €10 an optimized digital version of your photo will
be sent to you via email after the photo session. Printed versions of
your pictures come in one of two formats: 4 copies for your CV
(4,5x6 cm) will be €10, 4 copies for the cover sheet of your application (6x9cm) will be €15.

Fair Preparations
Application documents needed in the course of the career fair differ from a “conventional”
application in two ways:
1.
Since it is not clear which position you can apply for, a conventional cover letter is not
needed. However, a motivational letter is highly recommended. It should include
information about you, as well as information on any professional knowledge you
might have already acquired. Make sure to point out why you would like to work for
that specific company.
2. Your CV does not have to be fitted for a special company or position. It can be fitted,
however, if you have already decided which position you want to apply for.
When you found a company you consider most suitable for you, you should confirm your interest
via email as soon as possible. Inquire whether additional documents from you are needed. If
you do not hear back from a company within 10 days after your initial application, it is recommended to contact the company over the phone.
There are a number of things to consider before talking to potential employers. Regardless which
companies you want to approach, make sure to research the company’s profile and background
first. Basic information about each company can be found in the career fair catalogue. The
catalogue will also tell you what qualifications the companies are looking for in an applicant. For
most companies there is also a point of contact given which should be used as the addressee
in your application.
Further information and a brief guide to the trade fair etiquette in five steps can be found on our
website: www.businesscontactsmuenster.de.
For a good first impression dress for the fair the way you would for a job interview. Once you have
approached an exhibition stand it is a good idea to come prepared with at least three thoughtprovoking questions to ask the company representatives.
If a company holds the possibility for an interesting position such as an internship or even a job
entry, do not hesitate to offer the representative your application documents. For introduction
purposes a short application is sufficient (CV and letter of motivation). If you want to apply for a
specific position, prepare an extensive application (CV, cover letter, certificates).
