Working in a student job increases the chances of employment right after graduating. But sometimes, CBS students are too eager to start early and may focus on prestigious companies rather than relevant tasks in their search. SMEs can offer different opportunities and more responsibility.
The number of full-time jobs, student jobs and internships far exceeds figures from previous years, according to Graduateland. “Students no longer call me telling me how awful everything is. Instead, they are calling for advice about job interviews,” says CBS Career Counselor.
Seventy companies have already signed up for the Danish Academic Job Fair, and are all bringing details of vacant positions with them for new graduates, reports CBS’ Relations Manager.
Digital career fairs are here to stay, according to the job search portal Graduateland. Coronavirus has pushed digital innovation forward in the field and now companies can browse through thousands of candidates in no time. Moreover, prospective graduates are facing a job market on the mend, it seems.
Student reporter Eric Maganga gives his pro-tips on how to be good at networking - both in person and online.
“Speak up your mind, dare to fail, and be able to work in a team with different nationalities. Be passionate, independent and motivated.”
“I’m currently looking for a job/a new job” – that phrase is one I hear over and over again amongst my group of friends. Many of them are looking to find a job ASAP in order to pay their rent while others are just looking for something different to the job they have now.
We probably all want to do something we are passionate about. But what if the search for our passion blocks the opportunities that are right in front of us? Signe Lund Bunke decided to stop searching for her dream job and instead just take a chance and passion came along.
Monday’s are crucial in my team. We have our weekly editorial meetings and set the agenda for the rest of the week. Despite it being Monday morning, I quite look forward to getting to work since my colleague Isabella will be waiting for me with our usual breakfast, which consists of a croissant. It’s not all bad.
Signe Lund Bunke graduated from CBS a short while ago and started searching for a job. All of a sudden, she had two job offers at the same time. In her blog, she shares her thoughts about how she made a decision.
The clock is ticking. On Thursday morning (5 October), CBS employees will know if they are up for dismissal or not. But what will happen on the day? What emotional stages are you likely to encounter? And who will be there to pick you up when you are feeling the blow of being laid off? CBS WIRE has talked to HR and the consulting agency Actief Hartmanns to provide you with answers.

CBS is laying off a number of employees soon, which will affect our university in different ways. When employees are fired without having done anything wrong, it shatters the trust between the organisation and employees, while also taking a toll on productivity, according to a CBS expert. Layoffs also affect the ‘survivors’, who are forced to adapt to a changed workload and the loss of cherished colleagues.
