English success stories

Maria, 45, Netherlands

Maria successfully transitioned from the space industry to biotechnology. She continues to explore new opportunities while advancing in her career.

Before the Course

I was working as a Project Controller in the space industry but felt it was time for a change. Without a clear career direction, I enrolled in the "Career Start 7.0" course to help define my career path and learn effective job search strategies.

During the Course

I found the course incredibly valuable. The structure, content, and lectures were all excellent, and I completed the assignments with enthusiasm.

One of the key benefits was having my experience and knowledge validated, which greatly boosted my confidence. This confidence helped me understand where I wanted to go and what I needed to do. With a clear direction, all that was left was to take action!

The Results

Almost immediately, I found a new job—or rather, the job found me. I transitioned to a Business Controller position in the bioscience industry.

After 12 months in this new role, I realized I wanted even more. To redefine my career goals, I revisited the course materials, which I still had access to.

Now, I have the luxury of choosing between different fields and positions. Each job application and interview I go through reinforces that the tools and strategies from the course are highly relevant and effective.
