About us
We recommend that PhDs begin to purposefully navigate this transition and earn the necessary qualifications before completing their dissertation; doing so will increase your chances of success on the job market, whether you are planning on an academic career or have already decided to follow a career path outside the bounds of research and teaching. Particularly for those who intend to remain within academia, it is essential to reflect on your role within the university system, thus improving your odds of clinching it with the assistance of coaching and strategic planning.

If you are a former student of JLU Giessen who would like to contribute insights from your own career experiences, or if you are a human resources employee interested in our institution, we would love to hear from you.
Suggestions, constructive criticism, and of course success stories are all vital as we develop and further conceptualize our offerings.
