Career Calling is a career event for students and young graduates from all universities and FHs in Austria. The employers attending Career Calling only bring information and jobs for this target group, so participation only makes sense if you have an academic background. Please make sure to bring your student ID with your student ID number for check-in.
Yes and no—networking is always a good idea, and employers welcome it. However, the companies at Career Calling are primarily targeting students and recent graduates, and only provide information for this specific audience. Also, we’ll need your student ID and your student ID number for check-in.
Yes and no. Most Austrian employers use German as their corporate language, so they do require it. Still, each year there are also a few international companies where German language skills are not a prerequisite.
Yes, of course! Especially when you have no professional experience on your CV, personal contacts can give you an edge! You can also use Career Calling to meet various employers in one day. This way, you can find out where you’d like to work later on.
No problem! Just click "Request/reset password" on the login page and follow the instructions.
If you would like to talk about entry-level positions at Career Calling, it is best to prepare your résumé in advance. The WU and BOKU career centers offer special counseling sessions for this purpose. From September 2, you can view jobs and company profiles on the Career Calling event platform and get essential information in advance that will be useful on the day of the event. Fill out your profile and don't forget to secure your spot in presentations. However, if you would like to use the Career Calling fair primarily to learn more about your options after graduation, you are, of course, also welcome to drop by spontaneously - come to VIECON on October 14.
In the "Program" tab on the Career Calling event platform, you will find all the program items taking place at Career Calling on October 14. Simply register and secure your place (please don't forget to deregister if you are unable to attend). You can secure a time slot for a CV check and application photo at the Career Calling fair directly in the career zone from 9 am.
It is up to you. If you do apply for vacancies in advance, then address it directly at Career Calling – your application documents may have stuck in their memory. If you apply afterwards, don’t forget to reference your fair conversation in your application letter.
There are only a few mandatory fields, so for the most part you can decide for yourself whether you want to fill them out or not. But: The more information you provide, the higher your chances of being discovered by employers. This will make employers curious about you.

You can also participate in CV checks or presentations to get to know companies and their employees better. And of course: Take advantage of the fair stands. Employers will be happy to give you insights into their job opportunities.
