I spent two hours telling the children exciting things about fruit and vegetables. At the end, we tasted lots of local fruit and vegetable varieties. I was really pleased to see such enthusiasm and involvement from the children and I discovered a fantastic new aspect to my profession. <\/p>\n<h4>How I found my current job:<\/h4>\n<p>After completing my Dietetics and Nutrition course at FH JOANNEUM in 2017, I became a self-employed dietician. I initially used rough mind map planning to work out my strategies and goals.  A few weeks later, my website went live and I moved into my practice office in Vienna. I am now proud to be able to work with so many cooperation partners and clients. <\/p>\n<h4>What I learned for this job during my studies:<\/h4>\n<p>I learned to work independently, which has been very valuable in my work as a freelance dietician. Other skills which I acquired at FH JOANNEUM include networked thinking and interdisciplinary working methods. <\/p>\n<h4>Job prospects in my field:<\/h4>\n<p>It is certainly possible for interested graduates to get a foot in the door as a freelance dietician with plenty of commitment and an organised and independent style of working.  Networking with colleagues helps with the initial steps and professional exchange. <\/p>\n<h4>I am:&hellip;<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>goal-driven and focused on solutions<\/li>\n<li>empathetic and communicative<\/li>\n<li>curious and creative<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>About my job:<\/h4>\n<p>I am a dietician with all my heart. It fills me with great pleasure to help people feel good again in their own skin with the right nutrition. <\/p>\n<p>I followed my heart in making the transition to becoming freelance but initially was plagued by doubt. After two years as a self-employed dietician (as of 2019), I am happy to have taken this step and have no regrets. On the contrary. As a dietician and prospective training and sports scientist, I would like to enhance my work in nutrition by exploring exercise too. This would allow me to offer a more comprehensive range of services and I myself would like to grow in this direction as well.<\/p>\n<p>As part of its interdisciplinary classes, the course at FH JOANNEUM showed me just how important it is to consider multi-disciplinary solutions. This motivated me to become self-employed and encouraged me to select a Master&rsquo;s degree in a new subject area. <\/p>\n<p>A multi-faceted day-to-day life is particularly important to me in my profession. Engaging with clients is just as valuable to me as preparing a presentation for a talk or preparing new offers.  <\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div\n    id=\"\"\n    class=\"wp-block-blockquote margin-bottom-normal\"\n>\n    <div class=\"container-lg\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col\">\n                <div class=\"d-block mb-2 fs-5 major-text-color\">Going freelance opens up some exciting new fields of work just waiting to be explored by us (dieticians).
