Application tips

An application can be tricky. What is expected? What do the career guides on the Internet say? And what do friends and family advise? Not so with us. To make things easier, we'd like to give you a few brief tips on what we think is important:

Your documents: 

So that we can assess how well your experience and knowledge match the position, we would be pleased to receive the following documents:

  • A cover letter in which we can get to know you in a brief and relaxed way. Tell us something about what drives you, where you feel completely in your element, in short: what you are particularly good at.
  • A CV that tells us something about what you have done so far. And yes, even with gaps, because they are part of it and usually have good reasons.
  • If applicable, your last certificate if you have not yet had much opportunity to gain professional experience (e.g. as a graduate or young professional).
You should definitely submit a cover letter and CV, as this is the quickest way for us to make progress in the application process.
 
Our personal interview:
 
The most exciting moment is certainly the first personal meeting. This can initially take place over the phone or via Teams, or live. A little stage fright is part of it, but don't worry, it will be a good interview:
  • We speak openly and relaxed with each other. That's important to us, because believe it or not, we're a bit tense too. After all, we're talking about a possible path together. 
  • Of course, we also have some specific questions in our luggage. We take a potential-oriented approach. This means we want to talk about your strengths and what we can achieve together.
  • Don't dress up. We do like it when you dress appropriately for the occasion out of respect. But the most important thing for us is that you feel comfortable. 
  • Ask us! We're sure you're just as curious as we are. So don't mince your words. We don't do that either.
 
Nothing suitable for you?
 
Don't despair, we also look forward to receiving your unsolicited application. You can find the relevant speculative application as a link on the homepage of this job portal. We will then be happy to see if we have something suitable for you or get in touch with you to add you to our pool of applicants.
 
Any unanswered questions?
 
We don't presume to know all your questions. But we will gladly take the time to find out and answer them. Please use our contact form.
 
As you can see, we are professional and, above all, human. You can therefore look forward to an open and honest exchange. Would you like to know more about how the application process works? Take a look at our infographic on the application process.
 
And if everything works out, then perhaps it will soon be called:
