Our suggestions for your application: things to bear in mind

To get a full picture of who you are, we need more than a photo. So before you submit your application, first make sure you haven’t forgotten anything important.

We’ll be delighted to get your application. Even more so if you tell us why you have this particular career in mind. Why is this occupation a good fit for you? Meaning: why is it right for you, and why are you right for it?

Your CV can be very revealing. It can tell us what the milestones have been in your life so far, and what your interests and preferences are. A personal data sheet is sufficient.

What do you prefer – maths, or maybe the sciences such as biology and chemistry? Or are you more practically inclined? Your school reports reveal where your greatest strengths and talents lie. But another thing is equally clear: your school grades don’t remotely tell the whole story.

While school reports are important to us, they’re not everything. To get a fuller idea of who you are, we’d like to know more. What are you especially interested in? What are your favourite hobbies and pastimes? Have you got any particular talents or done work experience? Are you learning any languages? Or are you involved on a voluntary basis in a club or society? Send us any certificates or the like – everything that interests you interests us!

How can I send my application?

Have you got everything you need for you application? Then simply send it to us – preferably online, but you can of course also send it by post.

Your job interview: on an equal footing with us

If you are invited for an interview, this means you have been shortlisted for this particular position. We see job interviews as a first opportunity for both parties to get to know each other and to enter into dialogue on equal terms. Although a meeting of this kind is a special situation, stay authentic and present yourself in the best light.

  • Whether you’re travelling by train or car, find out in good time how to get to the interview.
  • Your outfit and appearance should be appropriate for the job you’re going for, and should make a good impression
  • Go into the interview with a positive attitude and see yourself as being on an equal footing with the company.
  • Don’t hesitate to ask questions about the job you’re interviewing for, and show that you’re engaged in the conversation.
