Customer Feedback

I have participated in a workshop and a few personal coaching sessions by Heidi. And for that I want to thank Heidi very much. Thanks to Heidi’s instructions on how to write a resume, I increased my rate of positive responses. The most important thing was the arrangement of information in the CV and the correct representation of the right facts. Thanks to rehearsals at the workshop I was ready for the interview, especially for the introduction. We also practiced salary negotiation, but for that you need experience anyway. But at least I knew my value and where to stop. So, I am very happy with the workshops, personal coaching, and with my new job. Thank you!

I must admit she is very determined in helping others achieving their goals. So far the advice and various help from her have been brilliant. She brought a new touch to my CV and currently working extremely hard in landing me a job. The other factor that I was really impressed, is that being an international from Mauritius, she agree to guide me to find a job. Willingness to make other people succeed and excellent attitude make her a strong asset not only as a recruiter but also a nice colleague to co-operate with. I thank her very much for everything she has been doing.

I would like to convey my sincere gratitude to Ms. Störr for the excellent career advice. No wonder that working with a professional career consultant like Ms. Störr can be an effective way to advance one’s career. She has not only helped me in adapting my application to the German standards but also gave me several valuable hints and trainings for a job interview. I learned a lot from her and it helped me forward in being hired. I gratefully appreciate her undivided attention to details as well as her determination in providing a quality application promptly. I am proud to have her as my reliable career coach. Thus, I definitely recommend other experts as well to seek for her advice to attain a successful job application.

Applying for a job in Germany is a very thorough and competitive process, which does not leave room for mistakes and the smallest of details could define your success. Heidi was an utmost professional and invaluable help in optimising my application documents, preparing the interviews and, ultimately, succeeding in my job search. I learned a lot from her and I could not be more grateful for her diligence, flexibility and being always a very nice person. If you are struggling with your applications or if these are systematically declined, then you should definitely consider contacting her.

Consulting FAQs

Can questions from different topics be mixed in one consultation meeting?

You can mix different topics in one meeting. You book a certain consultation volume which you can use as you like for all questions about your job search and being an employee in Germany.

How long can a booked consultation scope be used?

You can use booked consultation units over a period of six months.

How can I deduct a personal consultation from my taxes?

Individual constulations and self-study courses are tax deductible and part of the so called “Werbungskosten”. Please collect and keep all invoices and bills for your effords to find a job e.g. for flights, Visa, phone calls, relocation and career advice as well. If you have finally found a job in Germany you should read more about tax declarations in Germany to get your investments back. You can also use the support of a tax assistance union (“Lohnsteuerhilfeverein”), which is much cheaper than a tax consultant.

To get an overview of the most commmon costs, I recommend these two articles. They are in German but you can use the translation function of your browser.
