Your application is your personal calling card and gives the company a first impression of you. The application dossier should appear professional and contain the most important information about you. This includes a targeted cover letter, a resume, copies of all your certificates, employment references, and a professional photo.
In a nutshell
The average HR manager has only a few minutes to decide whether the applicant has the necessary qualifications and skills for the job. That's why a short and concise application increases your chances. A detailed list of your employment history, further training, and professional experience is required and will be reviewed as a priority. Keep your descriptions of each position brief and try to explain any gaps in your employment history in a meaningful way so that no questions arise.
Sending your application
Nowadays, application documents are mainly sent by email or online form. Please make sure that you combine several individual files into a single PDF file to create as clear a structure as possible. Many companies limit the size of attachments or emails with attachments to a maximum of 5 MB. You can either include the cover letter in the email or integrate it as the first page of the PDF.
If you send your application by mail, please note that you should never send originals by mail, but only include clearly legible copies. You should also ensure that you use good, sturdy packaging and a folder.
