JOB INTERVIEW LAB

Tue, Oct 20, 4:30 PM
From BERLIN WELL- The Human Lab

TICKETS AVAILABLE VIA [EVENTBRITE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1995040747581?aff=oddtdtcreator) €35 Early Bird, €40 Regular Ticket ### Inside Secrets from the Other Side of the Table A practical workshop combining recruiter insights, interview practice, confidence-building tools, and real-world feedback. You've updated your CV. You've sent the applications. You've rehearsed your answers. Then the interview invitation arrives... and suddenly your confidence decides to take a coffee break. Job Interview Lab is a practical, interactive workshop designed to help you prepare for interviews with more clarity, confidence, and real-world insight. Led by a former international recruiter who has interviewed, hired, and trained hiring managers across multiple countries, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to understand what actually happens on the other side of the table. This is not another lecture about "selling yourself" or memorising perfect answers. Instead, you'll explore how interviews work from the recruiter's perspective, practice in a supportive environment, receive feedback, and learn simple techniques to manage nerves and communicate with greater confidence. ### During the workshop, you'll learn: • What recruiters and hiring managers are really looking for • What happens after you leave the interview room • Common interview mistakes and how to avoid them • How to answer challenging questions with authenticity and clarity • How body language and presence influence first impressions • Simple breathing and grounding techniques to manage interview stress ### Interview Practice Lab You'll also take part in guided mock interview exercises in pairs and small groups, giving you the chance to practice, observe, receive feedback, and learn from others. ### Who is this for? • Professionals preparing for upcoming interviews • Job seekers returning to the market after a break • Career changers • International professionals navigating the German or international job market • Anyone who wants to feel more prepared and confident during interviews ### What to bring Bring a recent job description you're interested in or preparing for. This will help make the practice more relevant to your situation. ### About the facilitator Martyna Chelinska is an Emotional Intelligence & Life Transformation Coach, former international recruiter, and workshop facilitator. Over her career, she has interviewed and hired thousands of candidates across different countries and industries, trained hiring managers on recruitment and interviewing, and supported professionals through career transitions, personal challenges, and periods of change. She combines recruitment expertise with coaching, emotional intelligence, and body-based tools to help people show up with greater confidence and authenticity. ### Duration 2 hours ### TICKETS AVALIBLE VIA [EVENTBRITE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1995040747581?aff=oddtdtcreator) €35 Early Bird €40 Regular Ticket Tea & Water will be provided.

A Talk on Career & Personal Insights with Torsten Waack van Wasen

A Talk on Career & Personal Insights with Torsten Waack van Wasen

Thu, Oct 29, 9:00 AM
From Visionary Voices

**CEO of GERRY WEBER, Managing Director at Internetstores, COO of Marc Cain, Operating Partner in private equity: on paper, Torsten’s career looks like a classic success story.** But that’s not the story he is coming to Visionary Voices to tell. Instead, he will talk about what rarely makes it onto a CV: decisions that didn’t work out, unexpected detours, moments of doubt — and why some of his biggest mistakes became some of his most valuable experiences. His path to senior leadership was anything but conventional. Rather than starting out in finance or business, Torsten began his career in communications and marketing. He will take us back to the marketing world of the 1980s and reflect on just how much the way we work has changed since then. What have we gained — and what might we have lost along the way? Does everything we call progress actually move us forward? And what role do the latest digital tools and AI play in all of this? After decades in international business and senior leadership, his perspective ultimately leads to a much more personal question — one that no CV can answer: What truly matters in the end? Which experiences and values stay with us? How does our understanding of success change over the course of a career? And what can we learn from the moments that didn’t go according to plan? An invitation to look beyond titles, positions, and polished success stories — and discover a more personal and reflective perspective on a remarkable career.

Women After Work #2 🍷 - Good Conversations & New Connections

Women After Work #2 🍷 - Good Conversations & New Connections

Fri, Oct 23, 4:30 PM
From Women After Work - Berlin

# Women After Work Berlin 🍷✨ **Interesting women, meaningful conversations, and ideas in progress.** Is there something you've been thinking about, exploring, creating, or hoping to change in your life? For this edition of Women After Work, we're gathering around one table at Café de Gloria for an evening of good conversation and new connections. We'll share what we're curious about, what we're working toward, the ideas we've been playing with, or simply what's been on our minds lately. It could be a creative project, a career change, a business idea, a personal goal — or something you're still figuring out. No presentations, no pitches, and no pressure to have everything figured out. Just a relaxed evening with women who are curious about life, have ideas of their own, and enjoy exchanging perspectives. **✨ What to expect** * A small, intimate group of up to 5 women * Interesting conversations beyond the usual small talk * New connections and inspiration * Drinks and a cozy café atmosphere **📍 The venue** Café de Gloria is kindly hosting us without a venue fee. Everyone can order their own drinks directly at the café, with food also available. **🤍 Come as you are** You don't need a polished project or an impressive plan. Bring a curiosity, an idea, a question, or simply an open mind. The goal is to meet women we'd genuinely enjoy seeing again — and hopefully leave with a little more inspiration than we arrived with. ✨
