Tips from entrepreneurs (Mrs Pietsch, Ms Göpel, Ms Krebbers) for successful application, Ahaus-mobility 28 March 2017

•  When you are asked why you want that job, do not refer to your skills, but relate the questions to that particular job or line of business. Clearly state why you want this job with this company (also in motivation letter).
•  A good question to ask at the end of the interview: “How can I develop within your company?”
•  If asked where you see yourself in 5 or 10 years, also refer it to your professional development and to where you see yourself with that job
•  When the interviewer greets you, repeat his/her name: “Good morning, Ms Göpel”
•  In your cover letter, do not translate difficult qualifications. You can explain what they are in the interview.
•  Know foreign languages!!
•  Choose a job that makes you happy!
•  Have a “clean Facebook-account!! The personnel manager will look at it!
•  When you mention summer jobs, internships etc.: always give examples
•  If you have any talent in technology – stick to it, it is the future. Girls are particularly sought!
•  Emphasize any job experience you have. In the masses of CVs that personnel managers see every week, they only look for certain key words that are relevant in connection with the job offered.
•  Show your personality
•  Be authentic.
