Hödlmayr International AG’s Post

Retail is a people’s business, right? 👏 Everyone at C&A is part of shaping the future of the company. Thus, we love to connect with potential future colleagues to learn about their aspirations and help them find their perfect place at C&A. At the same time, we want to give as many insights as possible into the world of C&A so talents know exactly where they will be working. In the end it’s about creating a real sense of #togetherness from the very start.   👉 One important way to do that is being where our talent is!   “At congresses and job fairs we love talking with hundreds of potential new teammates and hearing their aspirations in the fashion industry. We always feel so inspired from all the enthusiasm about C&A”, explains Kim Hübers-Buchmann, Talent Acquisition Associate at C&A.   If it’s a job fair like the recent ‘Karrieretag’ in Germany (just see the happy smiles in the picture below) or Mark Cuthbert, our Market Lead Spain, Italy and Portugal, at panel discussion in Spain sharing insights into the benefits of working at C&A – we are always happy to give information:   💡 To give a better understanding of our culture and values 💡 Answer your questions on all the benefits 💡 Give a better idea of how our onboarding programs work 💡 And show development opportunities. That includes for instance job-related trainings, leadership trainings and also internal mobility programs that allow employees to grow within the company. Store days are very popular, as they allow co-workers from the offices to support in the stores, to connect and get to know the business better. Specifically for the colleagues in the stores the STAR program has been designed to help store staff reach their best self and connect with our customers in the best possible way. There are plenty of opportunities to grow with us and shape the future of C&A!   👉 The next two fairs where you can meet us are:   💡 On November 7 in Lisbon, Portugal Mark Cuthbert will speak at the In Retail event 💡 On November 14 in Sankt Augustin, Germany our team will be at the ‚Unternehmenstag‘  career fair   We are excited to get to know you there! #LookGood #FeelGood #DoGood #TheFutureLooksLikeYou

🌟 Thrilled to Share Insights from Our Recent SME Career Café! 🌟 This April, I was privileged to contribute to an insightful session hosted by SME (the Society of Manufacturing Engineers), focusing on a crucial aspect of professional success: Soft Skills. KEY INSIGHTS FROM THE SESSION: During the SME Career Café, alongside experts like Arthur Hughes, Monica Lawson, and Christie Hasbrouck, we discussed the importance of soft skills. Here are some highlights: ►Effective Communication and Emotional Intelligence are critical for enhancing workplace dynamics. ►Conflict Resolution, Critical Thinking, and Adaptability are indispensable for managing the complexities of modern work environments. ►Arthur and I emphasized the importance of storytelling in interviews, using the CAR (Challenge, Action, Result) approach to showcase adaptability and problem-solving capabilities. Soft skills are more than just essential competencies; they are the foundation of effective leadership and collaboration. This session reinforced their significance, especially as work environments continue to evolve, including shifts toward remote settings. Let’s prioritize the development of soft skills to navigate and thrive in an increasingly dynamic work landscape. Every interaction is an opportunity to practice and hone these critical abilities!

During Career fairs, there were some booths where I had meaningful conversations with recruiters: starting by introducing myself getting their name, and striking up conversations from an aspect of their firm I found interesting. Then some just told me to scan this QR code and drop their CV. When I received this prompt during last week’s GRADUAN® Career Fair at KL Convention Center last Sunday 26th May, I straight up lost interest, and I walked away. Why so? Just by the attitudes displayed by promoters in the booths alone, you can tell what sort of company culture they have, which traits of character they encourage or discourage in its employees, correlating to them treating future colleagues (us!) My most positive experiences visiting these numerous booths came from these recruiters treating prospective employers with sincerity, and a willingness to share and advise on career prospects. Some encouraged me to explore my own to discover what I wanted to do in their offered graduate programs. From what I learned talking with them, graduate programs do not look at university degrees anymore, what matters is passion and desire rather than qualification to receive a fresh graduate role. There is no need for an Economics or Finance degree to apply for a Banking or Digital Analyst Program anymore. Rather it is now the norm to learn on the spot, to fill up demand for the most crucial skills by training their employees. Hence their search for passionate people who have drives to learn and explore and determination to finish the job. If employers want to poach this type of talent, they should make efforts to fill them not as roles to fill up empty job positions but as a space where creative potential is vested and passion grows. This must start by treating prospective and current employees well, and they’ll soon return the favor. Employers are not entitled to employees' efforts if there’s no meaningful culture, no support or room to grow, to explore autonomously with guidance on their interests and passion. Of course, I should thank those who made an effort to give me a good first impression. Shoutout in particular to: Muhammad Hafizuddin Kamarruddin from Citi, Faizal M. Sudin from Bank Negara Malaysia, Chloe Chan from CIMB, Wilson Kang from L'Oréal, and Muhammad Noor Haq Bahari (an old friend!) from Khazanah Nasional Berhad. P.S: My friends told me that those from Toyota Malaysia, EPF Malaysia, and Maybank received them warmly aswell.

Corinne Mills visited the Crick last week and shared these top tips for building a fulfilling career in science and beyond... ⬇️   🔹 You’re much more than your job title. Some fields (including science!) use the same job title for completely different jobs. Introduce yourself by saying what you do and why.   🔹 It’s the way that you do it. Expertise and knowledge are important, but behaviour and how you influence the behaviour of others is what builds your reputation and gets you employed.   🔹 Talk positively about yourself. Learn what you’re the go-to person for and know how to describe it to other people.   🔹 Get ready for change. Technological change means that careers now don’t follow the traditional ladder. Be open to a zigzagging career and movement between fields and specialisms.   🔹 People are your greatest resource. Take time to deliberately build and use your network to find opportunities and share experiences.   Corinne visited the Crick as part of our Academy’s annual Careers Fest - a week dedicated to career development for people across the institute. We’ve been taking part in careers fairs, panel discussions and workshops on everything from networking skills to taking up new roles abroad.

Today, at EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht, me and my fellow students visited an exciting corporate career fair, bringing together some fantastic mid-sized companies. It was a great opportunity to learn more about the German job market in 2024, and we walked away with some valuable insights: Three Key Learnings about the German Job Market 2024: 🚀Companies are more open than ever to diverse skill sets, valuing unique career backgrounds over traditional paths. 🚀There's a strong push for younger, dynamic teams—companies are actively seeking fresh perspectives. 🚀Mid-sized companies are emerging as key players, offering competitive opportunities that often rival the big names. 👩🏫What surprised us most👩🏫: The enthusiasm of these companies to engage directly with students and their genuine interest in our career paths. 🥇We ended the evening with great food and wine on the university rooftop, connecting with companies that truly value fresh talent. It was more than just networking; it was about building connections that could shape our futures. A big thanks to all the corporate partners for making this such a memorable event! 🪄 Alexander Manus I Phillip Nürnberger | Imke Corts | Laura Straßheim | Gunnar Kühne I Christopher Steines I Aki Arráez Ramón | Falko Braun I Tim Risse I Matthias Waldkirch | Cecile Fenkl | Om Bhavnani | Dhairya Goyal | Vivien Kolle
