At SHD, we have met many students who want to work in Germany but have not chosen a career that suits their competencies. They carry their determination, passion and endeavor, but after many interviews, the results are still not as expected. That does not mean that they are not capable or not worthy of that opportunity, but the cause lies in a core issue: the difference between "love a career" and "capable of pursuing that long -term job".

Many of you choose a career according to emotion, stemming from the initial love or the trend of the majority, but has not fully assessed the capacity, personality and appropriate of yourself with that job in the long term. 

SHD students are oriented to choose the right profession

When faced with work and recruitment requirements in Germany, the preparation is not enough to make you unable to overcome the interview or have difficulty working in the future.

So how to choose a career that is suitable for the beginning, increasing the chance of success when interviewing and ensuring a smooth journey when working in Germany?

Why are many candidates unable to overcome the interview?

Lack of professional skills - Hobbies cannot replace competence

One of the most common mistakes of candidates is to choose a career based on preferences without considering real capacity. There are many people who want to follow the nursing industry because they think this is a stable job, easy to apply for a job, good income. 

However, when entering the interview, the employer will not only ask you why he wants to be a nurse, but also requires you to prove that you really have knowledge, skills and ability to withstand work pressure. If you have never experienced the care of patients, do not understand the principles in health, it will be difficult for you to convince the employer that you are suitable.

Similarly, in the restaurant - hotel industry, many of you think that just good communication is enough, but in reality, this job requires endurance, flexibility, pressure tolerance and quick handling of situations.

Employers in Germany not only need people who like their jobs, but they need people who really do their jobs and have the ability to pursue that job seriously and sustainably.

Understanding this, SHD has built vocational training courses to help students access the actual working environment since they were still in Vietnam. Here, students are not only equipped with basic knowledge but also practice with standard working processes, how to use equipment, specialized tools and practical situation handling skills. 

As a result, you not only improve your professional capacity but also be more confident when entering the interview, ready to integrate quickly with the learning and working environment in Germany.

The language is not strong enough to express yourself convincingly

Many students who reach the German level B1 but when entering the interview becomes embarrassed, do not know how to express the ideas clearly and convincingly. The reason is not because they do not know German, but because they do not have enough practical experience to use this language flexibly in the working environment.

Job interviews are not like a grammar test or a daily conversation. The employer will judge not only your ability to speak German, but also see if you can use specialized vocabulary, whether the question and accurate response, coherent feedback or not.

If you are not used to professional terms, have never practiced interviews methodically, it is easy to lead to a loss of temper, discrete expression or wrong answer.

That is why at SHD, we not only teach German but also help students practice practical interview situations, instructions on how to use specialized language suitable for the job. We understand that a candidate not only needs to know German, but more importantly to know how to use German to express his ability.

Do not understand the work and working environment in Germany

Many students who came to SHD had experienced interviews that failed because they did not understand the work they applied. They only know the profession through online articles or by other people's narratives, but have not really learned about the nature of the job, the employer's request and the challenges that can be encountered when working in Germany.

Each industry has its own characteristics, and if you do not understand those characteristics, it will be difficult for you to convince the employer that you are suitable. In addition, the cultural difference between Vietnam and Germany is also a big barrier if you have not prepared in advance. 

The Germans highly appreciate the discipline, the initiative and the sense of responsibility at work. A candidate not only needs professional competence, but also shows a serious attitude, committed to long -term attachment to work.

At SHD, we not only help you understand the work, but also guide corporate culture, recruitment process, help you train professional style from the first interview.

Choose a good job should have many options?

A question that many students often wonder should only focus on one industry or expand another option. In fact, having an additional backup plan will help you significantly increase the chances of matriculation and reduce pressure when applying for a job.

For example, if you love the nursing industry but not really experienced, you can consider related jobs such as medical assistants, elderly care - these are all sectors with high recruitment needs and good promotion routes. If you want to work in the field of restaurants - hotels, you can expand to locations in the customer service industry.

There is another option that does not mean that you give up your passion, but you are giving yourself more opportunities to succeed.
