About Sylvie Mellenberg
Sylvie Mellenberg is the expert of the evening. She is a language and communication specialist who helps you find answers to questions like: How do you structure a good text? When is an argument sufficiently supported? Sylvie has been working for the Academy of Theatre and Dance for years as a communication trainer and writing coach, and she understands the questions you have.

What are we going to do?
There's always a lot to say about yourself, but what choices do you make, and how do you do it in a way that others understand? What does an employer/client want to know about you, how can you describe it concretely, and how do you differentiate yourself from others?

We will tackle these challenges:

1. The job application process in general
2. Writing a profile (for your resume)
3. Writing a letter that not only sells yourself but also focuses on the common ground between you and the organization you want to work for.

Sylvie: "My background is as an independent communication trainer and NLP coach, and because I found my education clients the most enjoyable, I wanted to have an official teaching qualification. I pursued a teaching qualification in Dutch language at a later stage in life. I have been teaching at AHK for about fifteen years, initially only in modules related to communication skills, and now my work primarily involves guiding students in writing assignments."
