Stakeholder Cathy, 25 years old Student of statistics and IT Looking for a job with analytic background Living in the South of Germany

She says... I want to finish my studies this summer I want to start to work directly afterwards (October) I found out that most jobs are available in the middle of Germany (Frankfurt area) I want to find an analytic job as I love to work straight forward

She did... Wrote CV in German and English for international companies Collected all education papers for application map Sent out around 20 CVs across Germany Checked job availability in the South of Germany and across the country with the help of newspaper announcements and internet portals

She thinks... It will be easier to find a job in the middle of Germany as the financial sector is placed right there Companies are looking for perfectly educated students who have finished their studies within defined study period or even shorter period It will be easier for students who have both a university certificate and a training on the job There are too many opportunities and different company types and areas which make it too difficult for her to find the right one

She feels... That she is under pressure to finish her studies and search for a job at the same time It will be difficult to find the right first job Lost in the job opportunities Lost in defining her wishes regarding salary, job details etc.
