What our clients say

“Dr. Karbaum helped adapt my profile and experience to the German market in a way that allowed me to find my next challenge. I highly reccomend his services, he is willing to go the extra mile for his clients.”

Flavia Galacho CórdobaBusiness Development Manager

“As an experienced engineer, I was advised by Dr. Karbaum during a phase of professional reorientation. I particularly appreciated his extensive, cross-industry knowledge of the working world and the related knowledge sharing.”

Thomas KäßemodelQuality Manager

“I am a satisfied client of Dr. Markus Karbaum. He delivers coaches either in English or German language depending on client’s choice. Sitting around the coaching table with him objectively guided me in putting my Business Idea on a paper. He is currently partnering with me on operationalisation of my Business Plan. I highly recommend him to clients. Try him too, his services are five-star thumbs-Up!”

Dr. Evans RonoBiologist & Founder

“The cooperation with Dr. Karbaum has had a lasting impact on my professional goals. He could very quickly objectively think his way into my personal situation. In the coaching sessions with him, we developed various professional options – many of which I personally would never have thought of before. He encouraged me to consider options that were unthinkable for me even before and encouraged me to leave my comfort zone. So I had a lot of possibilities on the table and a lot of ‘food-for-thought’ after the appointments.”

Anja FröhlichProject Manager

“At a time when I felt that I had done nothing at all in my life, Dr. Karbaum managed to give me the confidence that it is more the world that needs me than the world that needs me. This may sound pompous, but it is precisely this belief in oneself that is desperately needed in order to appear in job interviews with the little something that makes the decisive difference.”

Jana LöschkeRisk Manager

“Dr Markus Karbaum is an excellent tutor in phases of professional (re)orientation. His coaching and extensive knowledge of cross-industry job requirements and potential career opportunities have always proven to be of great practical value to my application work and have successfully guided me through numerous selection procedures and interviews. For the special challenges of professional change processes, I can unreservedly recommend the expertise and work of Dr Karbaum. If you are looking for an experienced, dedicated and at the same time open and directly communicating sparring partner, you are making an excellent choice in the jungle of other job-related coaching and consulting offers.”

Konstantin KostenConsultant

“Many thanks for the coaching and your support in my start phase. I particularly liked your openness, coupled with the necessary leadership and focus on results. Thanks to our regular exchange, I was able to integrate your recommendations well into my daily business.”

Sebastian ClasenCarsultant

“Markus Karbaum coaches with true conviction and empathy. Through his goal-oriented coaching I gained the necessary self-confidence and sovereignty to successfully complete complex application procedures in the political field (Foreign Office, GIZ, United Nations). I am very grateful to Mr Karbaum for his commitment.”

Die Ursachen anhaltend erfolgloser Bewerbungen

Wer sich häufig bewirbt, ohne erfolgreich zu sein, macht etwas falsch. Die Ursachen dafür können sehr unterschiedlich sein – in den meisten Fällen sind sie aber fest- und abstellbar.

Viele Bewerbungen und kein Erfolg: Es gibt kaum Erwerbstätige, die das nicht mitnimmt. Neben der Frustration, die eigene besondere Begabung zurzeit nicht einsetzen zu können, kommen häufig auch finanzielle Herausforderungen. Am stärksten wiegen aber wohl die Zweifel, die einige Menschen befallen: Warum werde ich zurückgewiesen? Bin ich nicht mehr gut genug? Und was soll ich jetzt bloß machen? Sie sehen: Zahlreiche erfolglose Bewerbungen können Krisen auslösen – daher ist eine rechtzeitige Intervention so wichtig. Weiterlesen

Karriereanker – Edgar Scheins Klassiker

Nicht wenige Psychologen prägten das Verständnis von moderner Arbeit und beruflicher Entwicklung so sehr wie Edgar Schein. Eine Würdigung anlässlich seines 93. Geburtstags am 5. März.

In unserer immer rasanteren, komplexeren und dadurch kleinteiligeren Wissenschaftswelt sind Ausnahmeerscheinungen selten geworden. Der amerikanische Psychologe Edgar Schein aus einer jüdisch-stämmigen Familie mit deutschen, ungarischen und schweizerischen Wurzeln ist einer der wenigen seines Faches, die sich aus der Masse der klugen Köpfe erkennbar abheben. Und seine Erkenntnisse helfen vielen Orientierungssuchenden bis heute, ihren Weg zu finden. Weiterlesen

Was Führungskräfte in Vorstellungsgesprächen erwartet

Führungskräfte werden fast immer intensiv geprüft, wenn sie sich bewerben. In professionellen Auswahlverfahren geht es vor allem darum, den eigenen Führungsstil überzeugend darzustellen.

Sie erinnern sich: Im Januar hatte ich bereits auf wesentliche Aspekte, die für die Reflexion des eigenen Führungsstils relevant sind, hingewiesen. Damit lassen sich bereits zentrale Faktoren, die für die Auswahl von geeigneten Führungskräften entscheidend sind, ableiten. Doch nicht immer werden in Vorstellungsgesprächen diesbezügliche Fragen offen und direkt gestellt. Um einen möglichst ungetrübten Eindruck von den Bewerberinnen und Bewerbern zu erhalten, werden ihnen mitunter mehr oder weniger subtile Fragen gestellt. Weiterlesen
