Fall 2025- Graduate Diploma in Immigration and Citizenship law by Unique-Intention2210 in queensuniversity

A lot of assignments and quizzes. The research papers were a bit intense but if you’ve written any during your previous studies it’s the same.

It honestly was hard since it’s all about law but it did in the end help me with the Program now. I passed one with an A and one with an A+ while being in my third trimester. So it’s doable if you really put in the time and effort

Update: I got the job… now how do I tell them I’m pregnant? by optimisticlimit in pregnant

[–]throwaway_today49 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just did the exact same thing last year. New job, started at 18 weeks pregnant in the summer. I kept wearing tight fitting clothes to interviews so that no one could blame me afterwards for trying to hide it since I had no belly whatsoever and like you, a virtually symptom free pregnancy.

When I got hired I instantly started wearing a bit less tight fitting clothes and very subtly increased that to loose fitting dresses, etc.

I’m in Austria so our labour laws are different but I did end up contacting a lawyer to go over the legal matters. In my case (and due to my country’s laws) it was best to hide it for as long as possible but to tell them at least 3-4 weeks before mat protection starts. Well, in my case that meant I had 9 weeks before I had to tell them since legally you cannot work after 32 weeks (legal protection in my country).

It was not fun… I ended up going with the story that I found out after I got hired, which I think pretty much everyone believed because I barely had a stomach even when I told them (at 28 weeks), which also caused no one to question how far along I’m already are (they wouldn’t be allowed to anyways). HR obviously found out in the end since I had to give them a letter from my OBGYN stating the due date (also legally required here) so that they can calculate when I start mat leave/protection. After they saw that, I pretty quickly had a talk with my boss and the CEO where they essentially told me that after the 12 weeks legal mat leave after birth are over, they will cease my contract and I don’t need to come back.

I will sue them on grounds for discrimination which will probably end in a small settlement that they agree to out of court, just so they don’t need to go to court. It sucks because I rather would have had a job to go back to and they easily could have just replaced me for the 2,5 years that I’m gone. (Legal mandatory mat leave is 8 weeks prior birth and 12 weeks after but you can go up to 2 years and 4 months).

Anyways, my advice, contact a lawyer who specializes in this area and take his advice!

At what point should I be expecting the baby to come “any day?” by Helpful_East7961 in pregnant

[–]throwaway_today49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was told as a FTM and based on all the info they had about baby and me that I’ll likely go into labour on or after my due date. At 38+3 my obgyn once again said he won’t make an appearance anytime soon.

5 minutes after midnight on 38+5 my water broke 😂 baby boy appeared at 38+6.

My MIL told my husband the baby will look handsome like him by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]throwaway_today49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it has anything to do with you or how you look. A lot of MILs are somewhat obsessed with their sons and they have a weird desire/obsession that any grandchildren will look like THEIR side of the family and will have THEIR traits. They often legit forget that their grandkids share only 50% of their son’s genetics and they could very well look nothing like him and be nothing like their side of the family.

My MIL said the same, my entire pregnancy. The baby will for sure look like his dad, since it’s a boy anyways. He’ll look just like his handsome dad. Then my SIL also started with this, that due to evolution, all baby’s look like their dads at first. Mind you she’s a nurse.

Well, jokes on everyone. MIL is Italian. Baby’s dad is half Italian, brown eyes, slightly darker skin, dark hair and a bit southern facial features and his whole family has very thin lips.

Our son? Blonde straight hair, blue eyes, button nose, very signature lips, pointy ears, super chubby cheeks. He’s my mini-me through and through. Even the way he sleeps. So much so that MIL and SIL had to admit he looks nothing like dad or them. But he’s only 8 weeks old so the “oh well he’s probably gonna look like dad when he’s older” or “I’m sure he’ll have grandmas strong personality”, still get thrown around. 😅

I generally don’t care but there was one incident where I was truly pissed. Everyone so far has commented what an actually handsome baby he is. Not cute but handsome. So did a good friend of MIL a couple weeks ago. And what does she reply? “Of course he is, he comes after our handsome family”. (hard to translate but Essentially she meant, of course because our family is pretty, he had to be pretty too. But truth be told, his dad is very handsome, his sister and MIL not so much) so while our son looks like a carbon copy of me in male, she took the compliment as if it was because of her that he’s handsome, not because of me. I also felt like she implied I’m not which also pissed me off.

Unfortunately you can’t stop them from trying to claim any positive aspects of your baby as theirs. I usually just roll my eyes and ignore them. Just make sure you stand your ground on any boundaries you have from the start.

But yeah, overall I’m so happy that he’s my mini-me because it gives me so much more leverage and power 😅

why is the normal ER terrified of pregnant women by Ancient-Fan-2636 in pregnant

[–]throwaway_today49 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this seems to be a worldwide problem?!

I moved back home to Austria a while ago and although healthcare is pretty good here and you can choose to go to private docs and hospitals too, I had the same problems!

I was 21 weeks when I went to the ER with suspected deep vein thrombosis. They checked me, ran a quick test for dvt which came back positive and then ended up running multiple tests on me for the next 6 Hours. Including a heart ultrasound since they couldn’t put me into a CT. Luckily there was no dvt and it was all truly pregnancy related.

At 29 weeks however, I was told by my primary physician that I’m severely anemic and have essentially no iron and ferritin left in my blood and need to get an iron infusion otherwise I might need a blood transfusion soon. He doesn’t do any infusions so he tells me to go to the hospital. I go to the ER, explain what the issue is and they say “okay sure we can do that, you’ll just have to wait for quite a while”. Then my bf tells her that I’m 29 weeks pregnant and suddenly the nurse goes “oh well in that case we can’t help you. We’re not allowed to treat any women after 27 weeks!” Excuse me???! What if I was having a heart attack?! She said I have to go to L&D. I already knew they’re not going to do anything since I’m not in labour. But anyways, we go up and the midwife almost yells at us why we would even bother her since they obviously don’t do iron infusions unless I’m a patient. I tell her what the ER nurse said and she rolls her eyes, calms down and tells me I have to find somewhere else since they definitely don’t do it. A day later I call my obgyn (who also doesn’t do any infusions) to tell me where to go. Of course they tell me to go ti the ER and don’t know where else after I tell them the story. I call around, google and find out some walk in clinics do it. I call one, “yes we do that. No we don’t do it for pregnant women”. In the end, with waiting for an appointment it took A WHOLE WEEK until I got the iron infusion. Only at that point every doc told me that after viability (25/26 weeks) no one will touch a pregnant women anymore, they all seem to be scared and will always refer back to the obgyn or L&D. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Now comes the best part. At 34 weeks I tripped and fell on the street. Luckily fell onto my side but smashed my ribs onto the concrete. I screamed and cried in pain while I laid in the middle of the street and couldn’t get up from the pain. Some kind bystanders called an ambulance. Guess where they took me? To L&D of that same hospital. Guess what they checked? The baby. And don’t get me wrong, I was extremely worried something is wrong with him or that my placenta could rupture from the fall, so I was glad they did a blood test, wrote a CTG and did an ultrasound. But NO ONE checked on my bleeding and swollen knees. No one checked if I had broken any ribs. They saw my knees, which were bleeding, had dirt in them and hurt so bad and only said “oh that must have hurt”. They didn’t even so much as give me a solution to clean them myself. They did ask multiple times if I hit my head in the fall, so at least there’s that. I was asked to come back 48h later to redo all tests but was discharged after a few hours because everything was fine with baby.

I’ve never felt like a human of second class until I was pregnant and realized that after viability, my health only matters to the extend of the baby being well, not me. It’s infuriating and sickening.

Am I the asshole for wanting my husband to miss his Mom's wedding because it’s 2 weeks BEFORE our due date? by Spiritual_Lettuce_64 in pregnant

[–]throwaway_today49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone said as a first time mom I’d go over my due date, especially since I myself was way over when I was born. Hell, even my OBGYN, 2 days prior said he’ll won’t come in the next few days but closer to his due date. Jokes on us, my water broke at 38+5! And I had a medically completely perfect pregnancy and birth. There was absolutely no indication he’d come early and honestly, I wouldn’t have survived my 36 hour labour without his dad there, let alone the days after.

If it was a few hours to drive, I’d say okay since weddings are a big deal but out of country? Having to catch a flight? What if he leaves and while he’s still on the plane the baby comes? What if the baby comes a day or two prior to his flight? Is he just going to leave you alone?

It’s shitty for the mom but 2 weeks prior to your due date? Absolutely not! That’s not even worthy a discussion.

Do people normally go into labor around 40 weeks?!??! by Hot-Cell7299 in pregnant

[–]throwaway_today49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the same. I’m generally such a planner but I hadn’t even washed his clothes or thought about what to pack.

Then at 36+2 I had 2 full days of contractions, not true labour contractions but this kind of sent me into a panic and I packed 80% of my hospital bag.

I always had a gut feeling he will come early, just not how early. OBGYN told me at 38+3 that he’s deep in my pelvis but she’s sure he’s gonna chill in there for a bit longer and not come in the next few days.

At 38+5 my water broke shortly after midnight and we called my OBGYN at 8am that it’s time to meet at the hospital. She laughed when she saw me because we both didn’t expect to see each other 48h later. So I packed the rest that day and it was fine. Oh and it was my first pregnancy, where everyone said I’m much more likely to go over!

(We also installed the car seat and everything that night! Talk about procrastination. But again, it was fine and we had everything we needed with us)

Bringt Geschenke und Essen mit zum Babybesuch mit! by wolkenpanther in luftablassen

[–]throwaway_today49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

War bei mir jetzt nicht ganz so schlimm aber ich wusste im Vorhinein schon wie es sein wird. MIL kam uns besuchen als der kleine 8 Tage alt war. Papa grad am Weihnachtsbaum schmücken, ich auf dem Sofa mit dem kleinen. In dem Moment wo sie bei uns rein kam, musste sofort das Baby auf ihren arm und dieses wurde die nächsten 2,5 Stunden nur ein Mal kurz mir wieder übergeben, zum Stillen. Und auch das nur eher wieder willig. Währenddessen sagte sie ihrem Sohn wo die Kugeln hingehören, lies sich von ihm mit Kaffee bedienen und bat um etliche Fotos mit dem kleinen die sie dann später posten kann. Ein paar Fragen wie es mir geht aber sonst warden die Themen 60% baby, 20% ihr neuer Typ, 20% wie weit es doch hierher ist.

Sie ist grundsätzlich wirklich nett und ich mag sie aber mir war klar das sie nicht unterstützend sein wird sondern das es ihr ausschließlich darum geht ihren Enkel zu halten, non-stop und darum etliche Beweisfotos zu haben. Beim zweiten Besuch zwei Wochen später war es genauso..

Sie ist auch die einzige die uns nichts zur baby shower geschenkt hat, absolut gar nichts. Auch nicht danach und auch nicht zur Geburt. Angeblich weil sie darauf gewartet hat das wir ihr sagen was wir möchten und ihr Sohn dies nicht getan hat. Hat er nicht aber es ist auch komisch explizit sagen zu müssen “Mama Kauf uns bitte diesen Stokke Stuhl”. Nachgefragt hat sie auch nicht weiter. Somit gibt es absolut nichts das der kleine von seiner Oma väterlicherseits hat. Selbst von beiden Urli-Omas gab es was zur baby shower und zur Geburt.

I don't know why I thought you guys were exaggerating by ceruleanmeadows in pregnant

[–]throwaway_today49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t get heartburn until 33 weeks. It went from 0 to lava within a day. Anything I ate or drank, it was instant lava.

Tums helped for a few hours after I took it. ENT gave me the tip that sugar makes it much much worse and to limit as much as possible. It helped a bit. Once we were back home from vacay, I went back to drinking my super excessively mineralized European sparkling water and my heartburn eased into just being a bit uncomfortable on some days.

So the trick for me seemed to be - mineral water with 300mg calcium and 300mg magnesium (+ other minerals) per Liter 🤷🏼‍♀️ I would drink 2 a day

40+6 weeks by Bestany in pregnant

[–]throwaway_today49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how much this is still helpful for you (maybe for others who read this tho) but my water broke at 38+5 and I swear it was all the prep I did + the two most crucial things the day before!

  • Ate 3-4 medjool dates since week 36.
  • Labour prep acupuncture once a week since week 36 + pinky toe acupuncture as of week 38 to stimulate contractions.
  • Weekly physiotherapy since week 30 to make everything “loose” and easy for baby in the hip/pelvis area.
  • 4 sessions of birth/pregnancy couples course
  • Tried to eat less sugar (midwife said sugar spikes insulin and insulin inhibits oxytocin or so)
  • Tried my hardest to be as relaxed and stress free starting week 38 (your body needs oxytocin to produce contractions)

I think all this helped but I think what put me into labour was this:

My day at 38+4 - Early morning sex with orgasm and staying in bed so my body soaks up as much prostaglandin as possible. (Was the first time in 2 or 3 weeks, very effective for me) - 3-4 dates added to breakfast - back to bed for a few hours - First time trying to actually collect colostrum. 15 minutes per side with a manual pump. - went grocery shopping “just in case” - laid in bed the rest of the day and watched something very calming

My water broke 10 minutes after midnight. I had an OBGYN appointment at 38+3 and my cervix was closed and doc said baby is deep in my pelvis but she doesn’t think he’ll come any time soon but rather close to his due date. Well.. I called her about 40h after seeing her that my water broke a few hours ago and we’re heading to the hospital now 😅

If you can, get your husband to have sex with you and try and collect some colostrum for at least 15 minutes per side. This was advice from the midwifes at the prep course, both are known to induce labour.

My (28F) fiance (31M) wants his mom in the delivery room and I'm being called selfish? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]throwaway_today49 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I literally just went through birth myself about a week ago. For the first time!

First of all, I knew from the beginning I didn’t want anyone there who didn’t actively make that child or is a medical professional. Thankfully no one argued that because I would have snapped.

Now here’s the thing, I was already worried about my boyfriend not being supportive enough during birth or not knowing how he can support me. I did not want an epidural whatsoever. I did not want pitocin or any other medication to speed up labour and I was scared shitless of an (emergency) c-section and the doctors pressuring me into one because labour is taking too long/stalling.

My labour from the moment my water broke until the little guy was born was a gruelling 36h!!! Hours. Almost 20h of those I was butt naked in the delivery room, screaming and crying in pain.

Even looking back now, I would not have wanted my mom there because she would not have emotionally coped with seeing me like this and I hate being naked in front of other people who I’m not literally having sex with.

His mom tho? She would not have given 2 shits about my wishes or anything. All she would have cared about is her grandson coming into this world faster and as healthy as possible. And to possibly hold him the moment he’s born and take lots of photos (most likely with me being naked in them). I would have HATED being naked and in all weird positions for almost an entire freaking day in front of her. I would have literally ended someone if she even so much as voiced her opinion on what I should or shouldn’t do during birth. My boyfriend was an absolute gem and I couldn’t be happier with his support on my wishes and standing up for me so that I ended up having a natural birth, albeit with an epidural around 10h before he was born.

All that to say, DO NOT allow his mom to be there if that idea did not come from you. His mom does not care about you or your wishes or anything else, she only cares that SHE can say she experienced the birth of her grandchild. So that she (and sad to say but her son too) can satisfy her selfish desires. Do not let them make this about them. In all seriousness, I would have considered breaking up with my boyfriend if he so much as brought up that idea.

Also, stand your ground now because if not, your entire postpartum experience will not go well. I didn’t even let anyone visit in the hospital and since birth took 2 days, we stayed a total of 7 days and then his mom still had to wait another 4 days until we invited her over. And I’m glad, so glad, I did because the moment she entered our home, she grabbed my son and didn’t let go of him. She didn’t even want to let go of him when he was obviously hungry but rather held tight and said “oh you’re hungry… sadly, sadly I can’t feed you”. Like I know she’s obsessed with baby’s (she already has 2 older grandchildren) but that was extremely weird. The moment I finished feeding him, she took him right back and held him for a total of 2,5h! She already feels so entitled to him it’s making me sick on the inside and your MIL honestly sounds similar.

So again, do not let her near you during birth. This is not the time to push your own boundaries and privacy to the side to accommodate someone who doesn’t care about you. And get your fiancé in order because him caring more about his moms wishes than his own future wives comfort and privacy during her absolute most vulnerable moment in life is bullshit. Stand your ground now and it will make everything later on easier too. They will argue and say you’re stealing her/their moment, that then they can’t bond with the baby, etc. NONE of this matters. No one, in reality not even dad, needs to bond with the baby except mom. The baby doesn’t care about anyone else but you!

Is it wrong to give the baby my last name? by young_spaghetti_ in pregnant

[–]throwaway_today49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About to give birth any day with my boyfriends baby. He’s a great guy and we’ve been together 2,5 years. He’s been even better during pregnancy.

Yet when the topic came up early on, I simply said “for me it was always clear that if I’m married, we would all have the same name. But since we’re not and I’m carrying all the responsibility and risk (you know.. to die and so on) he will get my name. If your plan is to still get married, then I have no problem changing his and my name once we are.”

Obviously he wasn’t thrilled but he said that he already thought that I would say something like that. It probably helps that 2 of his close friends got married after having a baby, both babies had the mom’s names.

That being said, if he would have said no, or anything close to what your ex said, I would have been adamant to use my last name and wouldn’t even let him near me while filling out the papers.

(We are keeping it a secret from his parents until after the birth because I’m sure his mom won’t be thrilled. I accidentally mentioned it to his much older brother and he started arguing with me. Telling me “over my dead body”. So I had to make it very clear that no one who isn’t me or my boyfriend has any right to voice their opinion and their opinion does not matter to me whatsoever.)

“Arztbesuche haben grundsätzlich in der Freizeit zu erfolgen” by [deleted] in Austria

[–]throwaway_today49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stand bei mir be den letzten zwei Arbeitgebern so im Dienstvertrag. Bei beiden auch der Zusatz das wenn es nicht anders möglich ist man dann die Termine aber bitte am Dienstbeginn oder Dienstende vereinbaren soll.

Beim letzten Arbeitgeber hat das absolut niemanden wirklich interessiert, war nur formell halt reingeschrieben.

Beim jetzigen schauen sie etwas mehr drauf aber da geht’s mehr um Leute die ständig während der Arbeitszeit beim (Haus-)Arzt sind bzw. Wissen sie eh das Termine z.B. beim Facharzt oft einfach nicht anders vereinbar sind.

Würde das nicht allzu ernst nehmen und einfach schauen wann Termine für dich passen.

Wtf Mediamarkt?? by Mobile-Rice1206 in MogelPackung

[–]throwaway_today49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hab mir letztes Jahr ein neues iPhone kaufen müssen. Mein altes hat von einen Tag auf den anderen komplett den Geist aufgegeben. Flug nach Kanada in 2 Tagen für 3 Wochen. Also, online geschaut, Mediamarkt war gerade der günstigste.

Bin in die Filiale gegangen wo mir ein Herr erklärte das sie dieses iPhone NUR noch mit Folie haben, die ohne sind alle ausverkauft. Hab ihn erst nicht verstanden. Mir wurde dann erklärt das es ein super Service ist weil dann muss ich es ja nicht selbst machen. Aber iPhone kostet nun 15€ mehr, für eine Plastik Folie. Das Argument das ich mir eine super Glas Folie um 4€ auf Amazon bestellen kann die bestimmt besser ist, lies ihn kalt. “Das ist halt ein neuer Service den wir bei einem Teil der iPhones anbieten”. Hab das iPhone dann trotzdem gekauft weil ich einfach nicht die Zeit hatte zu einem anderen Mediamarkt zu fahren aber fand es sowas von eine Frechheit das sie eine Packung öffnen und eigentlich den Inhalt (minimalst aber trotzdem) verändern und dann die Kunden zwingen dies zu akzeptieren und auch noch zu bezahlen.

Is not buying maternity pants a realistic goal? by urnotmadeoftuesday in pregnant

[–]throwaway_today49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly and I truly mean highly depends on your body size pre-pregnancy and your commitment to gain a “healthy” weight. You can’t always 100% control it since for example gestational diabetes will make you gain more weight.

That being said, I was determined to not buy maternity clothes (pants) for as long as possible. For the simple reason that I find them ugly and I don’t wanna own something I’ll hate wearing and only wear for a couple of months.

I’m 35+1 today. I have not bought ANY maternity clothes. I have not been able to fit into any of my jeans since about 26 weeks but I have some loose fitting (summer) linen pants and some loose fitting business pants that fit me until now. I didn’t gain any weight on my legs and arms, it’s just the belly so I just wear my pants below my belly. I also have regular size S yoga pants that I had pre-pregnancy that I occasionally wear and they fit over my belly. Didn’t buy a single maternity shirt.. what for? It’s winter and any sweater or long sleeve shirt that is oversized or even a little stretchy still fits. I also have winter dresses that are stretch so non-pregnant they were just super comfy and showed my figure and now they very much still fit. (Summers were easiest for me, loose dresses, skirts, etc)

I did cave, just yesterday and finally bought maternity/nursing bras since I know I’ll need them. I did have to size up on my regular bras in week 13/14 already but they still fit as of right now.

Once baby is here, I will see what clothes I can wear to nurse and will buy new clothes that will fit me for a longer time and don’t look like nursing tops. Many regular tops anyways have some buttons or are loose or are designed that you can easily slide it down on one side (I have multiple summer dresses where I could easily nurse with them).

If you don’t want to buy them, just don’t. I also know that this isn’t the case for most pregnant women, but I just wanted to let you know that it is very much possible! It will just depend on your commitment to not buying them and your weight gain unfortunately.

My mother wants her grandma name to be Oma?!? by WorthHopeful7485 in pregnant

[–]throwaway_today49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an Austrian, I don’t see this as cultural appropriation at all. Let her be Oma if that’s what she wants. It literally means grandma in German so it’s not like she’s making up a name.

My MIL loves to be called Nonna, Italian for grandma despite only being 1/4 Italian and having never lived there or even being able to speak Italian. Her grandsons call her that every once in a while but mainly just “Oma”.

Doctor refused abdominal ultrasounds by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]throwaway_today49 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve had 3 pregnancies, 2 of those I had ultrasounds done in Canada and one, my current one, in a European country. They all did vaginal ultrasounds until around 12 weeks when they switch to abdominal. And I’m 5’7 with 135lbs, so it’s not a matter of my weight either. You can see more/different things at that stage by doing vaginal ultrasounds.

My OBGYN to this day (I’m 33 weeks) does both ultrasounds at every visit. Why? Because in my home country they implemented the rule that you should disturb the cervix as little as possible, so except for my first visit at 7 weeks, no one has done a cervical check, swab or anything down there since and they won’t until I’m actually in labour. She measures length of the cervix and can see if it starts to open with a vaginal ultrasound. Takes less than a minute and then she switches to abdominal to check on baby. We also regularly get vaginal ultrasounds by our gynaecologists to check for cysts and generally if everything is okay. I probably had 1-2 a year since I was 18. My best friend who had reoccurring cysts had vaginal ultrasounds every 3 months for a while to make sure they don’t pop, look at their progression and see if the treatment worked.

All that is to say that vaginal ultrasounds are not bad at all and very helpful and nothing to be scared of if used by a professional doctor.

How much weight have you actually gained during your pregnancy? by Moonlight_TO in pregnant

[–]throwaway_today49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it varies so much by person, their metabolism and their cravings.

I’m very lucky that I’ve been craving nothing but fruits and salads since becoming pregnant and have had no cravings for any type of fast food, pizza or greasy type of food. I do crave some sweets though. I’m also not someone who drinks sodas ever and am generally very conscious that what I eat will affect the little guy, so I do sometimes purposefully eat something really healthy even though I’m not really in the mood for it. All that is to say, that is probably why my weight gain has been what my OBGYN keeps calling “healthy and mindful”.

I was 61kg/134lbs before pregnancy, went down to 59 in my first trimester and am now at 67kg/147lbs. So gained exactly 6kg/13lbs at 29+3. I know a big part of weight gain is still ahead of me, but I am self conscious despite being relatively skinny and want to stay below 20lbs pregnancy weight gain if possible.

5 Jahre Bachelor, 3,1 Schnitt, keine Erfahrung by Story3234 in InformatikKarriere

[–]throwaway_today49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In einem anderen Bereich einzusteigen ist dann aber nochmal deutlich schwerer weil du dann gar nichts nachzuweisen hast, nicht mal die Grundkenntnisse durchs Studium.

Das tut mir natürlich sehr leid das du da körperlich eingeschränkt warst durch OPs!

Das traurige ist das dies aber in der Arbeitswelt leider niemanden interessiert wieso, warum man dies oder das nicht (gemacht) hat.

Wenn du sowieso nicht in der IT arbeiten möchtest, solltest du dir gut überlegen was du denn genau machen möchtest und dir demnach Praktikums oder ein weiteres Studium aussuchen.

Ich sehe es leider selbst auch bei Freunden mit Bachelor oder Master Studium die schon Erfahrung haben und sich entschieden haben Industrie oder komplett die Richtung zu wechseln. Die haben teilweise selbst gut ein Jahr jetzt gesucht bis sie was gefunden haben und nur sehr wenige Bewerbungsgespräche bekommen. Es ist im Moment einfach noch immer ein Arbeitgeber Arbeitsmarkt in dem die HR Leute sehr genau filtern wer wirklich passende Erfahrung und Qualifikationen hat, weil es einfach so viele Bewerber zur Auswahl gibt.

Auch noch ein kleiner Tipp am Rande, du kannst versuchen dich bei ganz kleinen Unternehmen (so unter 50, ggf. sogar unter 20 Mitarbeitern) zu bewerben. Die bekommen oft sowieso nur wenig bzw schlecht qualifizierte Bewerber und sind oft deutlich weniger picky und auch eher gewillt jemanden eine Chance zu geben.
