- There's also a tentative plan to share a demo about how what we're building as part of https://www.wherecanonefind.com/ and how it can be useful in one's job search
- "Man muss die Dinge nehmen, wie sie kommen."(You have to take things the way they come.) Presentation & Discussion(with Q&A) on how are we channelizing our energy in the given challenging times we're surrounded by? Are we investing our energy in overthinking/overanalyzing ?
- In the remaining time of the meetup(i.e., within the 2 hr time meetup time frame) take up the highest voted other job search/career questions in the case we have too many participants and/or many participant questions left. I intend to use Slido for the same(link to Slido for asking Q&A will be shared during the meetup)

• How to stand out in your job applications & interviews
• Strategies to get & prepare for interviews for jobs in Germany & in general
