If you want to apply for a new job - whether in Darmstadt, South Hesse or beyond - should consider some basic rules. A well -prepared application is the first impression and often the crucial step towards an interview. On this page there are an overview of the most important tips.

Complete and meaningful application

A classic application consists of:

• an individual cover letter ,

• a tabular curriculum vitae with a current photo,

• as well as certificates and evidence (e.g. training, work or further education certificates).

It is important: no mass application! Those who make an effort and go into the company has significantly better chances. The cover letter should make the motivation clear - why exactly this job, why exactly this company?

When is a short application enough?

A short application consists only of the cover letter and curriculum vitae - without certificates. It is often used in simple activities or at the express request of the company. It is also suitable for a first contact at job measurements or initiative applications if there are no specific places.

The initiative application - courageous and often successful

Many jobs are never advertised publicly. Anyone who initially , i.e. without prior job advertisements, shows commitment and can surprise positively. A strong connection to the company is crucial: What fits your own qualification, where could your own strengths be needed?

CV: tabular, clear and up -to -date

A tabular curriculum vitae is standard today. It should be clearly structured - with contact details, educational paths, professional stations and special knowledge (e.g. languages, IT, driver's license). The latest station is at the top . If you want, you can add a short self -expression or a "profile" in the curriculum vitae.

Online or in paper form?

• Online applications are the rule today-preferably as a PDF document by email or via application forms on career pages.

• Paper applications are usually only required at the express request, e.g. B. in classic craft businesses or in public service.

Tip: Always make sure what is required in the job advertisement. The form of the application should follow.
