Workshops and Events

The TH OWL Career Service supports TH OWL students free of charge with career advice, coaching, talks and workshops on career orientation, preparing for starting a career, networking and developing interdisciplinary skills.

Unfortunately, there are more and more students who do not show up for the events or their booked counseling appointments without canceling their registration.

We find this extremely difficult for the following reasons:

• In the case of events with limited attendance, the places of these students remain unused, although other students could still have attended if the registered students had deregistered. The same applies to consultation appointments: If these are not canceled, we cannot offer any appointments to other students in the booked period.
• These no-shows make event planning extremely difficult for us, as we cannot estimate whether the number of participants required for certain event formats will be reached.
• This is not respectful towards our consultants, coaches and speakers - internal and external, self-employed speakers and company representatives - who prepare intensively for the consultations, coaching sessions and events and reserve time slots for them.

That's why we say: No-show is a no-go. And don't forget: reliability is also a highly sought-after and important quality in a work context; be reliable. And if you are unable or unwilling to take part in an event or attend a consultation, please cancel your registration - this is just as easy to do via the Career Center as registering for it.

Two options for deregistration

The quickest and easiest way to deregister is directly via the Career Center:

1. Log in to the Career Center.
2. Click on your photo in the top right-hand corner and select “My events” or “My appointments”.
3. On the next page, select the event or appointment from which you would like to unsubscribe.
4. Unsubscribing from events:
   On the right-hand side of the page you will find the underlined text “No longer available? I wish to unregister." Click on it to cancel your registration.
   Cancellation of consultation appointments:
   At the bottom right of the tile of the booked appointment you will see a trash icon. After clicking on it, you will be asked whether you really want to cancel and only need to confirm this.

Alternatively, you can deregister in good time by sending an e-mail to career-service(at)th-owl.de. Please state the full title and date of the event or the date and time of your booked consultation appointment from which you wish to deregister. It is not necessary to give reasons for your cancellation.
