JOB INTERVIEW LAB

TICKETS AVAILABLE VIA [EVENTBRITE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1995040747581?aff=oddtdtcreator) €35 Early Bird, €40 Regular Ticket ### Inside Secrets from the Other Side of the Table A practical workshop combining recruiter insights, interview practice, confidence-building tools, and real-world feedback. You've updated your CV. You've sent the applications. You've rehearsed your answers. Then the interview invitation arrives... and suddenly your confidence decides to take a coffee break. Job Interview Lab is a practical, interactive workshop designed to help you prepare for interviews with more clarity, confidence, and real-world insight. Led by a former international recruiter who has interviewed, hired, and trained hiring managers across multiple countries, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to understand what actually happens on the other side of the table. This is not another lecture about "selling yourself" or memorising perfect answers. Instead, you'll explore how interviews work from the recruiter's perspective, practice in a supportive environment, receive feedback, and learn simple techniques to manage nerves and communicate with greater confidence. ### During the workshop, you'll learn: • What recruiters and hiring managers are really looking for • What happens after you leave the interview room • Common interview mistakes and how to avoid them • How to answer challenging questions with authenticity and clarity • How body language and presence influence first impressions • Simple breathing and grounding techniques to manage interview stress ### Interview Practice Lab You'll also take part in guided mock interview exercises in pairs and small groups, giving you the chance to practice, observe, receive feedback, and learn from others. ### Who is this for? • Professionals preparing for upcoming interviews • Job seekers returning to the market after a break • Career changers • International professionals navigating the German or international job market • Anyone who wants to feel more prepared and confident during interviews ### What to bring Bring a recent job description you're interested in or preparing for. This will help make the practice more relevant to your situation. ### About the facilitator Martyna Chelinska is an Emotional Intelligence & Life Transformation Coach, former international recruiter, and workshop facilitator. Over her career, she has interviewed and hired thousands of candidates across different countries and industries, trained hiring managers on recruitment and interviewing, and supported professionals through career transitions, personal challenges, and periods of change. She combines recruitment expertise with coaching, emotional intelligence, and body-based tools to help people show up with greater confidence and authenticity. ### Duration 2 hours ### TICKETS AVALIBLE VIA [EVENTBRITE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1995040747581?aff=oddtdtcreator) €35 Early Bird €40 Regular Ticket Tea & Water will be provided.

The TMOD also introduces the key roles and functionaries for that session. **Prepared Speeches:** A significant portion of the meeting is dedicated to prepared speeches. Members working through various projects in the Toastmasters education program deliver speeches based on their chosen projects. Each speech is evaluated by a designated evaluator who provides feedback on strengths and areas for improvement. **Table Topics:** Table Topics is a segment where impromptu speaking skills are tested. The Table Topics Master presents a series of short, unprepared speaking challenges or questions, and members or guests are invited to come to the podium and give a brief, improvised response. **Evaluations:** Following the prepared speeches and Table Topics segment, evaluators provide constructive feedback to speakers. These evaluations focus on content, delivery, body language, and time management. The goal is to help speakers improve their speaking skills. **Reports and Functionary Roles:** The meeting may include various functionary roles, such as the Timer, Grammarian, Ah-Counter, and others, who report on their observations and contributions to the session. These roles help members improve their language and time management skills. **General Evaluator:** The General Evaluator provides an overall assessment of the meeting, highlighting what went well and offering suggestions for improvement. They may also evaluate the evaluators' performance. **Awards and Recognitions:** Toastmasters sessions often conclude with awards and recognitions, including the Best Speaker, Best Evaluator, and Best Table Topics Speaker. These awards encourage members to strive for excellence in their speaking and leadership abilities. **Closing:** The meeting concludes with closing remarks from the Toastmaster of the Day, who may express gratitude to participants and encourage them to continue their Toastmasters journey. **Networking and Socialising:** After the formal meeting, members and guests often have the opportunity to network, socialise, and discuss their experiences in a more relaxed setting.

Are We Present in Your Own Life? From distraction to participation.

Rhetorik-Abend

🎤 **Bereit für Bühne, Begeisterung und ein bisschen Bauchkribbeln?** Dann komm zum **Clubabend der Berliner Meisterredner** – dem Ort, an dem Worte wirken und Persönlichkeit wächst! **Was erwartet dich?** Inspiration, Abwechslung und echte Bühnenmomente: Unsere Mitglieder halten mitreißende vorbereitete Reden – mal humorvoll, mal tiefgründig, aber immer authentisch. Und wenn du willst (ganz freiwillig! 😉), kannst du bei unseren **Stegreifreden** spontan selbst ans Mikro treten – perfekt, um Lampenfieber abzubauen und Kreativität freizusetzen. ✨ **Warum solltest du kommen?** Weil du hier nicht nur reden lernst, sondern auch **wertschätzendes Feedback bekommst**, das dich persönlich und beruflich weiterbringt. Und ganz nebenbei triffst du auf tolle, redefreudige Menschen mit ähnlichen Zielen. 📍 **Wo und wann?** Im Clubraum in der Trinitatis Gemeinde (1. OG Hinterhaus – durch den Hof). Unsere Treffen folgen einem klaren, motivierenden Ablauf, der dir Sicherheit und Raum zum Ausprobieren gibt. 📌 **Neugierig geworden?** Dann schau vorbei – wir freuen uns auf dich!

Are You Present in Your Own Life? From distraction to participation

**Are You Present in Your Own Life?** *From distraction to participation — an evening of curiosity and self-exploration* I would love to invite you to a relaxed evening of curiosity, simple experiential exercises and conversation around one question: **How present are we in the life we are actually living?** We can be busy, productive and constantly occupied, yet still move through much of life on automatic pilot. We react before we understand why, repeat familiar patterns, miss what is happening in our relationships, or rush so quickly toward the next thing that parts of our life pass without being fully experienced. So what is the cost of being absent from our own life? And what becomes possible when we begin to notice these movements as they happen? Many contemplative traditions point to a simple principle: what we can see clearly no longer has to govern us blindly. Inspired by the work of **Dhyan Vimal**, this evening offers a space to slow down, notice our own patterns of distraction and automatic reaction, and perhaps discover something about ourselves that usually goes unseen. No previous experience with self-reflection is needed. It is simply a chance to explore, meet other curious people, and perhaps come away seeing your everyday life a little differently. One question may stay with you: What part of my life do I not want to miss while I am living it? The event is in person and completely free of charge. Because the room has limited capacity, registration is needed to keep the numbers in check. If you register, please only do so if you genuinely intend to come, so that none of the limited places go unused. You are very welcome to come on your own or bring a friend — just make sure your friend registers separately as well. Come as you are. Bring only your curiosity. Register [HERE](https://terminplaner.dfn.de/public/bookings/0a06d10f-38c5-4430-807d-3b538cbdb334) For any questions, feel free to send me a message. I hope to welcome many of you, Kindly, Maria

Wir lernen gemeinsam, dabei gelassen und souverän zu bleiben, wertvolle Informationen zu transportieren und unser Publikum zu begeistern. **Was macht unseren Club besonders?** Unser "Mut und Rede" Club trägt nicht umsonst seinen Titel: wir pflegen einen wertschätzenden Umgang miteinander, sodass die Hemmschwelle möglichst gering ist, sich selbst auf die Bühne zu trauen. **Wie läuft so ein Clubabend ab?** Es warten vorbereitete Reden auf euch, aber auch ihr habt die Möglichkeit in geschütztem Raum eine spontan improvisierte freie Rede von 1 bis 2 min vor Publikum zu halten. Das klingt vielleicht im ersten Moment etwas abschreckend – aber es ist eine ganz tolle Erfahrung über sich selbst hinauszuwachsen. Und egal was passiert, ihr werdet immer für Euren Mut belohnt. Und es wird auch immer geklatscht. Wir freuen uns, Euch kennenzulernen!
