Career perspectives
“ ‘Small, but beautiful’ – this is my picture of the HSG. Its international orientation, its integration in different networks, its high quality standards and its interdisciplinary approach sharpened my eye for interdependencies and encouraged me to think analytically. I associate these skills with my time at the HSG, which had a great impact on me both professionally and personally.”
Dr. iur. HSG Klaus Tschütscher, LL.M.
Head of Government of the Principality of Liechtenstein, 2009–2013
Career Services Center (CSC-HSG) The Career Services Center of the University of St.Gallen is the central contact point for our students with regard to their entry into professional life. The CSC team consists of coaches and career advisers who have extensive know-how from various industries and fields. Their aim is to support students in their career planning and in the realisation of their career steps according to their requirements. For this purpose, they offer individual consultations and workshops about various topics, such as the professional drafting of application documents, interview training, preparation for interviews and personal stock-taking and decision-making. The CSC-HSG has a library with brochures about topics relevant to careers. Our students can also profit from the Career Management Handbook Application and career planning – competent and practical. The CSC-HSG also supports international students in their entry into professional life in the Swiss labour market. It provides them with information about particular features of Swiss labour law and culture. The new career and event platform www.hsgcareer.ch provides our students with a job database offering internships, traineeships and regular jobs. In addition, they can input their profiles on the platform and thus directly introduce themselves to potential employers or register for CSC-HSG events. Besides the various
workshops, this also includes the HSG TALENTS Conference, the HSG Banking Days and the HSG Industrial Career Day. www.csc.unisg.ch
