Career Night with Fraunhofer Escape Game

6th November 2019, 5 - 10 p.m.

70 Years of Fraunhofer – Fraunhofer in Rhineland-Palatinate Celebrates!

The three Fraunhofer Institutes of Rhineland-Palatinate invite you to celebrate our anniversary with us. We look back on what we have achieved and, above all, look to the future. This inspires us to keep asking the question: #WHATSNEXT?

We, the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering IESE and the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM in Kaiserslautern, as well as the Fraunhofer Institute for Microtechnology and Microsystems IMM in Mainz, use the occasion to celebrate with those, who shape the future: you students!

Take the chance at our Career Night and inform yourself about the possibilities of starting a scientific career at Fraunhofer or apply directly on site for a student job, a thesis, as a PhD student or scientific employee. From 5 to 10 p.m., an exciting program awaits you as a STEM student and graduate. If you want to do research and at the same time work in a business-oriented way, our institutes are the right place for you.

Sounds interesting? Then please use the registration form to register for the event.

Solving Riddles in the Fraunhofer Escape Game #FraunhoferEscapeGame

The highlight of the evening is our Fraunhofer Escape Game. In four groups of maximum 8 people you take up a challenge that requires knowledge, technical skills and a strong team spirit. In just 45 minutes, the groups have to solve puzzles, combine clues and crack codes together. The offer in the evening is limited to four sessions, so you have to apply to the event and in particular the game via the registration form. If you've been accepted to one of the games, you will find out shortly before the event.

 

Get Your Application Documents Checked!

Use the opportunity and let our experts check your application documents. Your documents will be critically read and optimized. In a face-to-face talk you will receive valuable suggestions and tips.

Please bring printed copies of the following documents:

  • Cover Letter
  • Resume and (work) certificates
  • and, if available, the relevant job advertisement to which you refer

 

Shoot Your Own Introduction Video and Have Yourself Photographed

With a video you have the chance to stand out from the crowd and leave a lasting first impression. In our video box you have the opportunity to introduce yourself in a short clip (approx. 1 to 2 min) and answer some questions about you, e.g: Why did you choose this course of study? What inspires you? What do you expect from your future employer? You can immediately take your introduction video with you on a USB stick, it is at your free disposal. Our time slots for filming are limited, so please note your interest directly on the registration form. It is best to wear an outfit in the video, which you would also wear for an interview.

A photo is the icing on the cake for every application. That's why we also offer to take a photo of you at the event. Here, too, participation is limited. You can enter your name in a list directly at the event. Please remember: dress as if you are invited for an interview. 

 

Networking and Experience the Fraunhofer Institutes

In addition to the Escape Game, participants can experience research during guided tours  and individual sessions on selected projects. Afterwards, the career event ends with snacks and drinks and offers the opportunity for in-depth networking in a relaxed atmosphere with the employees of all three Fraunhofer Institutes of Rhineland-Palatinate.
