Are you fresh out of university or about to graduate? Then it's time to think about your career planning. Without a clear plan, the transition into working life can seem chaotic. However, good planning can not only help you to take the first steps in your career with confidence, but also to achieve long-term success. A well thought-out career plan is like a compass. It gives you orientation and helps you to head in the right direction.

But why is it so important? It's simple: if you plan for the long term, you can better adapt to career changes and make the most of opportunities. A common thread in your career steps also gives your CV more strength and has a very positive effect on employers.
