How do I apply?

Please apply through our online application portal. This applies to applications for permanent positions as well as for internships, part-time student jobs, thesis projects, and apprenticeships. You can either apply directly for a posted position or submit a speculative application.

It’s important to us that your cover letter tells us about your motivation, your skills, and your expectations. This also includes other important documents such as employment and degree certificates, as well as certificates of additional qualifications (stays abroad, references).


How does the application process work?

Once we receive your application, the relevant contact person will review your application materials. Of course, you’ll receive confirmation from us that we’ve received your documents. You can check the status of your application by phone at any time. If your application is a good fit for one of our locations, we’ll notify you and invite you to an interview.


How do I find the right contact person?

You’ll find the contact person for the advertised position in the job posting. If you have general questions, feel free to contact our representatives.


Are there any other general tips for a successful application?

The website http://www.bewerbung-tipps.com/ offers tips and tricks for a successful application. There you’ll find all the information you need—from preparing your application and gathering your credentials to the interview.


How long will my data be stored?

Your application data will be deleted once the application process is complete. If you are considered for other job openings, we will notify you. In that case, your data will be stored for six months.
