Over the course of a week, you’ll have the opportunity to meet experts from leading Swiss universities and multinational companies. They’ll be on hand to help you optimize your job applications and professional integration.
To enhance your application, we offer workshops on career orientation, LinkedIn profile optimization and professional photography. What’s more, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in mock interviews to maximize your preparation.
Professional photo shoot

Revision of CV and letters of motivation
Experts will offer you their advice to help both your CV and letter of motivation have a greater impact. The latter is often underrated by students. However, it is sometimes more important than the CV, allowing you to stand out from your competitors. The correction of both these documents will be given as a 30-minute private meeting with an expert, in French or English (language must be chosen in your registration).
Job Interview Simulations
During the last week of September, students will be able to be interviewed by an external expert. Companies human resources will observe the 30-minute performance and give a direct feedback after the simulated interview. The language of the interview (French or English) must be chosen in your registration.
Experience has shown that preparation of this fake interview, as well as being rated in a realistic environment by an expert is hugely valuable for students. It allows you to strengthen both your oral communication skills and self-confidence.
Career Counseling
A diploma does not open a unique door to the vast world of employment. There are many accessible careers after graduating from EPFL. In order to discuss these multiple opportunities, you will have the possibility to meet with career counselors who will help you find the best professional path possible according to your skills and desires. These services will be given from the 2nd to the 7th of October.
LinkedIn profile advice
Your LinkedIn profile is one of the essential tools for standing out in the job market. From September 30 to October 4, 2024, we’re offering you personalized support to optimize your presence on LinkedIn. During this workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to receive advice on highlighting your career path, writing a punchy summary, and strategically using LinkedIn to search for a job. Take advantage of this opportunity to improve your online visibility and strengthen your professional network!
