Restart Career

I am extremely satisfied with Restart Career and wholeheartedly recommend it to others!!! I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to my coach, Karen Julia Korfmacher, for her wonderful support during my career transition from employment to self-employment. I always look forward to our sessions, feel very comfortable with Karen, and come away with new perspectives and strengthened self-confidence every time. Karen has a very special way of interacting with people and a keen sense of what is needed in each moment. She knows how to ask the right questions, which opens up new perspectives and insights that I would not have seen otherwise.
I particularly appreciate her warm and honest manner. You can immediately sense that Karen's interest in the people she works with is sincere and genuine. This combination of empathy, clarity, and professionalism makes our collaboration particularly valuable to me.
Thank you for your support, your trust, and the space you create to make development possible. I feel very well accompanied by you on my path to self-employment, and even if I have doubts from time to time, after our sessions I always feel a little more confident that I am on the right track. Best regards, Jenny

Restart Career surprised me positively in every way. For me, it's not a traditional outplacement company, because what really counts here is the person. You get individual support on so many different levels. The community and the mutual exchange help and support you immensely during this phase. The same goes for the weekly appointments with the guide. The platform itself offers a lot of additional support on all important topics. I would use it again anytime.

Restart Career came at just the right time for me. RC supported me with excellent coaches, tests, and training as I reviewed my previous position and reoriented myself. The result can be anything from a new job to an interim position to starting your own business. In my experience, this is the perfect shortcut to getting back into the workforce quickly.

During my reorientation period, the constant support was a great help to me.

My guide Simone supported me a lot from the start, providing individualized, needs-based assistance. I learned a lot from her and benefited greatly from her tips.

Highly professional, technically sound and at the same time pragmatic, fast and individual

Restart Career helps all participants who need support in their search for a new job, who want or need to reorient themselves. People who feel lost, lonely and no longer wanted by the world of work. All the coaches and the workshops are professional, absolutely trustworthy, empathetic, individual and personal. I really enjoyed attending the open sessions. It was nice and healing to hear that everyone else feels the same way and that you are not alone. I can only warmly recommend her!

I found out about Restart Career from a former colleague and thought, if my old employer is already paying, I'll just take it. It was the best thing I could have done. The step-by-step articles on the platform, the webinars and the Community Café were very helpful, especially at the beginning. But above all, the exchange with the various coaches on CVs, LinkedIn profiles, case studies for job interviews etc. was worth its weight in gold. I would like to thank Ulrike Bentlage and Filiz Düzenli for their many suggestions, tips and help with both professional and personal challenges. Special thanks go to my coach Hanna Ruddies, you enriched Restart Career and I am grateful that we were able to work, laugh and cry together and that I was allowed to "be".
I am looking forward to the new beginning and now have a network of supporters should I need help with orientation again.

Restart Career was an anchor for me during the challenging job search period and was a real help and enrichment in many ways. The first phases of the program were particularly helpful - without it, for example, I would not have invested so much time in reflection. In hindsight, it was time well spent. The webinars, e.g. "Becoming visible on LinkedIn" or "ChatGTP as a helper in the application process" were also really good and up to date. However, I derived the greatest personal benefit from the coaching - I will miss that.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved once again for this great program!

The New Placement Program from Restart Career
The milestones/phases are very well structured and guide you through the various situations and questions.
In addition, you get a lot of practical support for a few points, including a voucher from the great photo studio provider Studioline for application photos or CV templates with a CV check and much more.
My coach Hanna Ruddies helped me a lot to recognize my path (perspective & center) and to discover new possibilities with her warm-hearted, appreciative manner and questions
The Community Café, which she runs, with great exercises and exchanges with others, also ensured that I danced to Singin' in the Rain & making my life more colorful.
This is also how I came to the Founders' Café after my orientation phase.
The exchange about founding a company with others who also had questions,
was very helpful for me in the start-up phase.
Dr. Sabrina Zeplin's interactive presentations on start-up topics were also very helpful for me
I was encouraged by the topics of sales and money.
It is often precisely these encounters that clarify my view and give me new inspiration.
Thanks ALSO to my other coaches:
Sabina Haas for her guidance and mental strength!
Petra Michelle Nérette
Webinar Voice & Presence: Your key to a confident performance - I try to incorporate the 5 anchors every day
The coaching on storytelling and the mental support were also great.
Over time, I found my inner strength again. I realized that leaving my old job had ultimately given me the opportunity to reinvent myself and discover my passion.
My new self-employment, the opportunity,
Looking to my future as a soon-to-be self-employed person with fresh energy and confidence 😊

I received competent and empathetic support from the Restart Career team during a very sensitive phase. The individual coaching modules, from getting started and orientation through to the job search, built on each other in a coherent way. I always had a reliable anchor with my guide, was able to clarify questions quickly and had the feeling that they were consistently looking for the solution that really suited me - via coaching, mentoring or webinars. My CV, cover letter and appearance in interviews were professionally sharpened and my self-confidence strengthened. I felt very well looked after and cared for. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this support.

I was particularly satisfied with the Restart Career advice and support from my personal coach.

I was very satisfied with the collaboration. Restart Career enabled me to work with specialized coaches on various topics. That helped me a lot. I was always able to draw on the appropriate expertise on specific topics and the guide accompanied me very well through all phases. I was also able to learn many tools and methods that were made available on the online platform.

In a situation where the ground is pulled out from under your feet, the help from Restartcareer was worth its weight in gold. A step-by-step guide to finding your feet again. In a new life, initially without a job. But then: so many possibilities! What do I want to do, where do I want to go next in my working life? Thanks to Restartcareer, with its diverse range of ideas and support, my time without a job will come to an end next week. Thank you very much for the great support during this time!

I was very satisfied after initial skepticism

The Restart Career team supported me in finding a new position with a high level of expertise and a great deal of empathy. The coaching not only brought my CV up to date, but also boosted my self-confidence. My guide gave me the best possible advice and support during the application process. Thank you very much for that!

I felt that I was in good hands.

Restart Career supported and helped me in all phases of my professional reorientation - from saying goodbye with all the emotional challenges to finding a new job. I was always able to talk to my guide, the entire application procedure (application picture, CV conversion, application letter) was smooth and coherent, the webinars were a good accompaniment (including the encouragement café) and the contract check from the RA gave me security at the end.
Many thanks for that!

My coach was very responsive to my needs!

I was lucky twice. Firstly, I found a new job relatively quickly after leaving my former company, and secondly, Restart Career provided me with a great career advisor who gave me valuable tips and inspiration for my new start.
