A strong and complete application is your calling card and decides whether you get through to the next round. When preparing application documents, questions which frequently arise include how to word the cover letter, how to structure the CV and in what order to arrange the documents.
We will review your documents critically and professionally and check whether they are complete, comprehensible and convincing. Practice applying properly even while you are still at university, whether with an application portfolio, an online application or a speculative application.
Due to the large number of requests we receive from our students, we would kindly ask you to first take part in one of our online workshops “Applications in a Nutshell” on how to write your application documents in accordance with German standards.
The workshops are offered regularly, you can sign up on StudOn for any date.
Even if you have not yet completed your studies, you should address the questions relevant for a successful career start and further development. We do not make your decisions for you or offer ready-made solutions. Rather, we provide you with guidance and support and inspire you to find your own solutions. We want to work out your prospects, determine your talents and resources together with you and assist you in making your own decisions.
