My Profile – a totally different application training. The seminar for visually impaired persons

For many applicants interviews are stressful situations. In many cases they feel insecure when being asked what their strong and weak points are and why they are interested in this company. Everybody knows that the question ‘Tell me more about you’ will be asked but does not know how to deal with it. Students or job seekers with visual impairment have additionally to cope with the problem how to address their visual impairment or blindness. The professional planning procedure Life/Work Planning (LWP) offers practical and field-tested solutions which will presented in this seminar.
 
In this two-an-a-half-day workshop the participants with visual impairment will learn and practise how to be best prepared for interviews. In various practical scenarios and based on personal examples the statements will be shown satisfactorily and comprehensibly. The focus will be on one’s own resources, i.e. capabilities, interests and preferences and how to square with the job requirements resp. the need of qualified staff within the company. These methods could be used independently and deepened afterwards to effectively and authentically prepare for future interviews.

The seminar is offered by Mr Buddensieg in cooperation with ACCESS@KIT of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. It will take place in Karlsruhe, in the seminar rooms of InformatiKOM II. Single rooms are reserved in the KIT guest lecturer's house, lunch and dinner are provided on campus.
