Hi, I'm Nick.
Over seven years in HR, as HR Manager and Head of People, more than 1,000 interviews conducted, over 100 people hired. I share that knowledge now, honestly and without detours: what recruiters actually see, what counts, and what's holding you back right now.

The job market in Gießen
Gießen is above all a university city: Justus Liebig University is one of the largest in Hesse and produces a steady stream of graduates each year, many of whom go on to commute toward Frankfurt or Marburg for work. For a straightforward entry into the workforce right after graduation, the free CV checklist and the standalone Career Kick-off are usually enough. My 1:1 career coaching with fixed packages tends to make more sense once you have one or two years of work experience under your belt and the next step is coming up, for example moving from a trainee program into your target role.
Career Quick Check
The honest feedback companies won't give you, in English. 30 minutes on a video call, a clear read on your situation in the German job market, one concrete next step.
30 minutes, free. Slots: Monday to Friday, 11:30 AM to 8 PM.
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm about to start my career and barely have experience yet. Is coaching still worth it?
For a straightforward entry into the workforce right after graduation, the free CV checklist and the standalone Career Kick-off are the better first step, more affordable and tailored exactly to that situation. The fixed packages with ongoing support are meant more for the step after that, once you have some work experience and are planning the next stage.
Does the coaching happen in person in Gießen?
The coaching runs online via video call, which works just as well as meeting in person and fits flexibly into your schedule. For the Career Kick-off of the 1:1 coaching, we're happy to meet in person at a café in Gießen too.
Who is the coaching in Gießen especially suited for?
Mainly for Justus Liebig University graduates who have one or two years of work experience behind them and are planning their next step, for example moving out of a trainee program into their target role. For a straightforward entry right after graduation, the CV checklist and Kick-off are the better first step.
I don't have any contacts at companies in Gießen or the surrounding area yet. Is that a problem?
No, the coaching works regardless of where you apply, whether in Gießen, Frankfurt, or Marburg. It's about the fundamentals that apply everywhere: a CV that convinces within seconds.
What does the first step cost in Gießen?
Nothing. The CV checklist as a PDF and the 30-minute Career Quick Check are completely free. Only after that do you decide whether a digital product or 1:1 career coaching makes sense for you.
I'm not actively job hunting in Gießen right now. Is this still useful?
Yes. The best time to get your CV and LinkedIn profile in shape is before you need them, so you're ready the moment something changes.
How does the first contact work?
Most people start with the free CV checklist or go straight for the 30-minute Career Quick Check. After that, we figure out together, with no obligation, what makes sense next.
Are you a certified career coach?
No, and that's deliberate. I'm not a trained coach, I'm someone who has personally sat on the hiring side of over 1,000 interviews and made real hiring decisions. That's practice, not theory about how applications are supposed to work.
Career coaching also available for Frankfurt am Main, Offenbach, Darmstadt, Mainz, Wiesbaden, Mannheim, Heidelberg, Aschaffenburg.
