Job applications

To be successful in your job search you must submit a convincing application. Employers usually expect a written application with a letter, a curriculum vitae (usually with a photo and signed) and all the necessary documentation that is required to assess your qualifications for the job.

You should submit certificates and other important documentation in German. It is becoming more common to submit applications online. Enquire about how the employer would like to receive your application.
