The transition from university to working isn't always easy - and it can get even more complex when there is a language shift involved. For example, if you completed your degree in English but are now starting a job where you’ll need to speak or at least understand German. An English-taught degree in Germany doesn’t leave much room to fully learn the language, adapt to a new culture, and prepare for the German job market all at once. 

In this episode, we’ll discuss how to navigate these transitions and share tips to tackle the challenges that come with them.
