What clients say about specific engagements
Short notes tied to real consultations — placement, recognition, orientation, and employer briefings.
I arrived with a solid Geselle certificate but no clear map of which joinery shops around Worms actually needed someone with furniture restoration experience. The advisory narrowed the list to three firms. Two interviews followed; I accepted the second. The process took six weeks, which felt long while I was waiting, though the introductions themselves were carefully prepared.
I was drifting between industrial site work and a smaller installation firm. The orientation session did not push me toward either. It laid out the trade-offs — travel days, Meister proximity, and overtime — so I could decide with my partner. The written summary arrived in two days and still sits on my desk.
