Late-Career Search Intensive

Who it is for

You have decades of solid work behind you — engineering, administration, healthcare, logistics, finance, teaching, or craft — and now the open market feels strangely hostile. Recruiter replies are thin. Job ads ask for “digital natives.” You know your value; you need a search that treats experience as the asset it is.

This intensive is for professionals aged roughly 50 and above who live or wish to work in Germany and want practical, confidential guidance rather than generic motivational talks.

What you walk away with

• A sharpened Erfahrungsprofil and Lebenslauf that lead with outcomes, not job titles alone
• A short list of realistic target roles and employers suited to your sector and region
• Practised answers for age-related interview questions in German or English
• A weekly search rhythm that fits your energy and family commitments
• Clear next steps for Arbeitsagentur paperwork, networking conversations, and follow-ups

What is included

Six private sessions of 75 minutes (video or in Crailsheim by arrangement), written feedback on your application documents between sessions, one mock interview with notes, and a one-page search plan you can keep updating after we finish.

What is not included

We do not place you in a job, guarantee offers, rewrite every cover letter indefinitely, or act as your legal representative in disputes with employers or agencies. Outplacement contracts for companies are quoted separately.

How we work

1. Intake — your career history, constraints, preferred regions, and what “good enough” looks like financially and personally.
2. Positioning — reframing long tenure, career breaks, and industry shifts so hiring managers see continuity of judgement.
3. Materials — Lebenslauf, Anschreiben templates, and LinkedIn/XING notes tuned for German hiring customs.
4. Search design — where to look beyond the usual portals, how to approach former colleagues, and how to read Stellenausschreibungen for hidden age filters.
5. Interview craft — salary conversations, gap explanations, and demonstrating stamina without apologising for age.
6. Handover — a 90-day plan and optional check-in slot.

Duration and delivery

Most clients complete the six sessions over eight to twelve weeks. Sessions run in English or German. In-person meetings are available at our Crailsheim address when travel is practical; otherwise we meet by video.

Preparation

Before the first session, send a current Lebenslauf and two recent application examples (successful or not). Note any non-compete clauses, notice periods, or health constraints that affect timing.

Pricing basis

€890 for the six-session intensive when booked as a package. Individual sessions outside the package are listed on our fees page. Travel beyond Baden-Württemberg for on-site meetings may add a day fee.
