How do I apply correctly - what do I have to consider?
Which documents do I need?
GOT TO
- Application letter (maximum 2 pages)
- Curriculum vitae including photo (you can find more on these topics here)
- Official and training certificates
- Proof of further education (only if relevant for the job)
Please keep in mind that
- You always provide all documents (cover letter, curriculum vitae, service and training certificates, etc.) as read-only (pdf, zib etc.) and
- It is an absolute MUST in this day and age to submit the application documents in electronic form. Applications sent by post are no longer up-to-date!
What does not belong in the application
Typo (spellchecker!)
Cover Letters
- Sender (name, address, telephone number, e-mail address)
- Date
- No application photo (only in the CV)
- Subject (with specific reference to the job advertisement)
- Salutation (always personal, never: "Dear Ladies and Gentlemen")
- Original introductory sentence
- Relation to the company
- Motivation
- Short description of your own profile, strengths and soft skills (with examples!)
- Reference to relevant knowledge (such as languages)
- References or recommendations
- Note on notice periods and possible starting date
- Salary expectations (if required)
- final formulation
- Salutation and signature
- Attachments (curriculum vitae, certificates)
