Frequently asked questions
When and where can I register for the event?
As the event approaches, it will be announced when registrations will open
How can I register for an activity?
Once you have created an account you can register for activities by selecting the activity you would like to attend from the program tab on the website. If you have registered for the event last year, you can use your account from last year. Do not forget to update your CV if applicable!
What are the costs for participation?
There is a €10 fee for participation in the Tilburg Career Days. This fee covers your participation in all of the activities, the gift bag you will receive, and the lunch / informal drinks. This participation fee will only be incurred if you have been selected for an activity. Hence, registering for an activity and not getting accepted by the company results in no participation fee incurred. If you have been selected for an activity, this fee will be deducted from your bank account around the 24th of November.
How can I de-register for an activity?
When you suddenly cannot attend an activity anymore you have the option to de-register. This can be done under the activities page on this site. Note that you cannot de-register for the activity within 24 hours before the activity.
What happens if I do not show up for an activity?
When you do not show up to an activity you registered for there will be a €15 penalty deducted. This amount will be increased with €5 for each activity you miss after that.
Why can I upload an anonymized CV?
Anonymized CV’s are not mandatory for the Tilburg Career Days. However, we encourage the use of anonymized CV’s in order to ensure that there is no unconscious bias in the selection process for activities.
What is an anonymized CV?
An anonymized CV is a CV that does not include the following points
- First name
- Surname
- Gender
- Nationality
- Date of birth

- Links
Should I upload a Dutch or English resume?
This depends on the type of activity you wish to attend. If you register for an English activity you should upload an English CV. If you only register for Dutch activities, a Dutch CV is sufficient.
