Job search as a spiritual scientist: From the ivory tower to the economy

Child, study "what decent"

Overview

Everyone in my family had "something decent" - a lesson. And I wanted to study something that brought me in the following years at every WG-party with new people this question: "Germa .. what? So German? What can you do with it later? "

In the first semester, I listed my google knowledge: "I can do a lot with it, for example ..." And then in the second one: "Journalism and such. Or media stop. "In the third, it was just a weary shrug that was left over. Out of perspective, unaware, useless - that's how I felt. At the university one was not prepared for the job routine. "Too many options, which can not all be covered, do an internship," it said.

Get out of the ivory tower, into the economy

Overview

Get out of the ivory tower and into the economy. For any other course of study a matter of course, as a humanities scholar probably THE hurdle of study par excellence: With Goethe and Schiller, medieval language skills and the Nibelungenlied at the end of a job to somehow make money without Professor to want to be.

For me, the personal low was reached after the undergraduate studies: Surrender halfway. And to be Generation Y: Those who, in the eyes of the older generation, can not really do anything right or really want to work and actually have "no fancy". Conceivable good conditions for total lack of prospects.

First internships

Overview

Through a friend I came to this phase for my first internship at an online newspaper. The professional field of journalism was not unknown to me and I had even been in the Diddl-friend book in it that I would later like to be a "writer" (but only if I should not become a witch), but also met me relatively early the curse That's why I did not dare to put all my theoretical knowledge into practice and go somewhere apply.

If clear perspectives are missing

Overview

As a spiritual scientist, you are more likely to study with passion or interest and there are hardly any preparatory seminars or infoverations ... The search for jobs on the net is difficult because there are simply no jobs advertised for old philologists, Romanists or cultural scientists. In any case, the internship in this young online editorial was incredibly instructive and exciting for me. The stone was brought into play and motivated me these weeks for the remaining studying time, which is why I also collected on television and in another online portal experiences.

In the meantime, I know exactly where I want to go. I would like to have an internship, whether online, on TV, on the radio or in a classic print magazine. Also, the PR area fascinates me and if someone gives me the opportunity, I would also show in marketing, that you have to offer exciting and different ways of thinking as an alien economist. I try to network well, ask around where there could be jobs, do marketing on my own with my website, and write classic and unsolicited applications.

You do not have to be a taxi driver

Overview

I am open and at the same time steady in my career aspiration, because it has meanwhile become clear to me that not everyone who has graduated in orchids, Professor or taxi driver needs to be. There are countless branches and branches, all depending on their own profile. This can be a curse and a blessing at the same time.

For example, if you have few interests or, more importantly, do not know how to "make money", it becomes difficult and you are facing a process of detours and self-doubt. But if you know what you can do and what you want, then a humanities study is highly recommended. Because where else can I form myself in such a general way and acquire and develop a personal "professional profile" that enables me to develop my true talents and not just to work in a specific industry because, unfortunately, you chose the wrong degree?

Looking to the future

Overview

If I should read this text here again in a year and again as at school at the restaurant "Zum goldenen M" at the cash register, I know that I should revise all statements made and would rather get married quickly rich.

But if I should read this text here again in a year and have a place in society where I share my ideas and commitment DIE WELT for me or for all others, or at least for the purse of my superiors, a bit more to a more colorful, meaningful or even better place, then I hope that other semesters of German Studies will read this text and become active, want to do internships their interests and talents. Stay bold and think of me at your first salary.
