First impressions count. That’s why it’s important for your application to be persuasive and give a good picture of who you are. We’ve put together a few things that you should keep in mind. You’ll then be ready to apply to us. Incidentally: you don’t need to write a cover letter. When you submit your application to us, you will answer three questions. You can outline your motivation in your answers.
Apply online for your chosen career. For your application, you’ll need:
- A CV
- A colour photo of yourself
- Your school reports from the last four semesters
- Only if you have them: taster apprenticeship evaluations, employment references or employment certificates, the results of the aptitude assessment (e.g. Multicheck®, Basic Check, etc.)
In addition to the content, the appearance of your documents also counts. What you should watch out for:
- Give your documents a clear and uncluttered layout so that everything can be found immediately.
- Check that everything you need is included and that the spelling is correct.
- Let someone look over it before you send it off.
