Are you about to graduate and looking for your first job? Twice a year (April and November) Career Services in cooperation with the Alumni Office organises a UT Career Café.
In the Career Café you meet UT alumni from all over the world, who would love to share their tips on getting the (maybe) perfect job. You can connect with alumni and learn from their experiences. In small groups of max 5 students you may ask the alumnus questions such as:
- How did you get your first job?
- Did you encounter any pitfalls in searching for a job?
- Which skills are most important in your job?
- Did you plan to find a job in this specific field/country/city?
- How did you experience the transition from studying to working?
Who are the alumni in the April sessions?

Although the Career Café is spread over two days, this doesn't mean you have to attend both. Based on your interests, you choose how many sessions and which day(s) you'll attend.
If you have recently graduated, you are also very welcome at the UT Career Café. Send an email with your first name, last name, your email address, your phone number and the programme you followed to: careerservices@utwente.nl.
