How to shine before the interview

Here, we’ve put together some helpful advice so nothing gets in the way of your application. Find out what we value and how your application can leave the best possible impression on us.

 

 

Stand out in your covering letter

“I am always thrilled when the candidate’s passion and motivation for their job and specialism shine through in their application.”

Daniela, HR Business Partner Munich

Structure the perfect CV

“I’m a fan of well-structured CVs, starting with the newest step in your career at your current employer, highlighting assignments, projects and tools or technologies used. A maximum of five bullet points per step is more than enough.”

Juliane, HR Business Partner Jena

Mention notice period and salary expectiations

“How long is your notice period and what are you salary expectations? This is basic information that I am always interested in ...”

Danja, Trainee HR Munich

Identify spelling mistakes early

“I am always delighted to see applications with no spelling mistakes. One or two are not that bad. Nevertheless, it‘s worth checking your documents before submitting them – an application free of errors simply reads better.”

Jonas, Trainee HR Karlsruhe

Link to your portfolio or GitHub profile

“For UX or UI candidates, as well as developers, a portfolio or link to a GitHub profile can sometimes be worth a thousand words, so we're always happy to see this kind of information in the application.”

Sandra, HR Business Partner Munich

Include project descriptions in your application

“For candidates who do not have a complete CV, but have a lot of practical experience, I find project descriptions – also URL/GIT links – invaluable. Individual projects outside work are just as exciting – they also say a lot about the candidate’s personal interests and values.”

Steffen, Recruiter Berlin

Don't forget questions for your interview

“If you get involved in conversation during the interview, you may, in the end, forget your most important questions. No problem – write them down beforehand and bring them with you, or contact us afterwards and ask us any questions you may have forgotten.”

Max, Trainee HR Frankfurt
