Hi, I'm Nick.

The job market in Mainz
Mainz has become one of Germany's best-known biotech locations through BioNTech, alongside the headquarters of ZDF, the glass manufacturer Schott, and Johannes Gutenberg University. The boom in biotech and pharma has visibly reshaped the local job market within just a few years, with many professionals moving from academia into industry or the other way around. People coming from research or academia often underestimate how differently applications get evaluated in the private sector, which is exactly where an honest assessment from a hiring perspective comes in.
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 coming from academia and want to move into industry. Can you help with that?
That's one of the most common transitions I support. The biggest difference is usually how experience gets communicated: in academia, completeness counts, in the private sector, clear results within a few seconds of reading time count. That's exactly what we work out together.
Does the coaching happen in person in Mainz?
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 Mainz too.
Who is the coaching in Mainz especially suited for?
For everyone from the biotech and pharma world around BioNTech and Johannes Gutenberg University, as well as for people from the media world around ZDF who are planning a change or their next career step.
Mainz's biotech job market is small, people know each other. How discreet is the coaching?
Completely discreet. Nothing happens without your knowledge and consent, no sharing of your data, no contact with third parties. In an environment as close-knit as the Mainz biotech and science scene, that matters especially to me.
What does the first step cost in Mainz?
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 Mainz 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, Wiesbaden, Gießen, Mannheim, Heidelberg, Aschaffenburg.
