A cover letter/statement of purpose is optional, but you may want to take the opportunity to tell us more about yourself. This is especially recommended at the beginning of your career, as your CV does not yet include many positions. Make it clear why you are applying for this particular position with us. What is the rationale behind your application? What is your long-term goal and why is this position the appropriate next step towards it? Describe the qualities and experience that you can contribute to our company.
Ideally, send us your application online – it’s quick and easy. Simply upload all the files and send them directly to the right contact person. That way, we can import your data smoothly and respond to your application promptly. It also saves you time and money. Filling out the application only takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
We know how nerve-wracking a selection situation is for most people – so we try to make this appointment as pleasant as possible for you. Ask yourself in advance what tasks and aspects you find particularly exciting and where you would like to develop further. How do you like to work and what qualities do you bring to the job? Why did you apply for this position, and why with us? Take a look at our company, history and values. Which values do you identify with especially? The better prepared you are, the more relaxed you can be about the interview.
We recommend that, above all, you pick an outfit you feel comfortable in. This ensures you won’t be distracted and can concentrate on the interview. There are few things more annoying than a tight or itchy outfit. So, don’t dress up, but choose an outfit that suits you and your desired position. Think about how you can make a good first impression.
We are looking for personalities – rough edges and all. Don’t pretend; just be yourself. After all, we want to get to know you as a person and have a conversation with you on an equal footing / on a mutually respectful level.
We want to make the application process as easy and convenient as possible for you – which is why we've briefly summed up the process for you. Find out how to get on board with us as quickly as possible.

The number and type of interviews varies from job to job. Usually we invite applicants to two interviews. It is important for us to get to know you personally in the interview.
