YOUR NEXT STEP @ Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences

A look back at the changes in career events, from the Erasmus Recruitment Days in 2008 to today's YOUR NEXT STEP.

03 September 2025 -

"What fortunately hasn't changed is the most important aspect of such events: the interaction between people."

YOUR NEXT STEP @ Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences! 🎉

Together with Sumy Lake and Alexis van Dam, I was present to scrutinize students’ LinkedIn profiles and give a LinkedIn Masterclass. What a dynamic, the students were super engaged!

As YouLynq.me, we feel extremely honored to be able to speak at this great event and share the stage with big names such as AkzoNobel, Coolblue, Albert Heijn, Nestlé, BALR. and Vibe Group!

When I organized the Erasmus Recruitment Days in 2008, things were very different. We had no smartphones, apps, or QR codes back then. Everything was done via paper lists and the telephone. We even had a telephone exchange to pass on changes! Can you imagine? 😅

What fortunately hasn’t changed is the most important aspect of such events: the interaction between people. Face-to-face conversations remain the core. Students meet companies, and workshops, presentations, speed dates, and inspiration sessions ensure a lot of dynamism and valuable connections.

Thank you all and see you next time! 👋

Show me the magic in real life 🪄
