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 Mannheim
Mannheim sits at the center of the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region, with the University of Mannheim as one of Germany's leading addresses for business and economics, and SAP in nearby Walldorf and BASF just across the river in Ludwigshafen. Competition for the well-known trainee programs at the region's major corporates is correspondingly fierce. Anyone trying to stand out against hundreds of business graduates needs application documents and a profile that actually stand out from the crowd, not just ones that are factually correct.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are my chances at a trainee program with one of the major corporates in the region?
That depends heavily on how well your documents get through the same first filtering steps every time, because that's exactly where most applications fail, not in the interview. In the Career Quick Check, we look together at where your biggest lever actually is.
Does the coaching happen in person in Mannheim?
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 Mannheim too.
Who is the coaching in Mannheim especially suited for?
Mainly for business and economics graduates from the University of Mannheim applying to trainee programs at corporates like SAP or BASF in the region, and for anyone from the broad Mittelstand of the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region.
What sets your coaching apart from the career services offered by the University of Mannheim?
The university's career center is a good first stop, but it mostly works with general guidance. I bring the inside view of a recruiter who has actually assessed over 1,000 applications like these, that's a different vantage point.
What does the first step cost in Mannheim?
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 Mannheim 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.
