Career Center Events 2024

As every year, the Career Center offers you events for further education. We would be pleased if many students join the events and learn something helpful for a possible future career. The following presentations will be held this year:

Career Misconceptions

In their career coaching sessions with students and doctoral students, the ETH Career Center regularly encounters common career misconceptions that graduates have about their entry onto the job market and their future professional career.

Some of these misconceptions are:

  • “A wrong decision now will ruin my professional career - forever.”
  • “I need to follow my passion… (Help! I don’t have one!)”
  • “There is one perfect job for me out there... I just need to find it!”

Are these statements true or false, worthy career conceptions or rather misconceptions? During this interactive presentation, the audience will learn what beliefs lie beneath these misconceptions and how they could be holding graduates back from being successful in their job search.
