Your application is always the key to a successful career change. Your application, including a cover letter and references, contains the only information your future employer knows about you at first. Your application should therefore present a well-rounded picture of you, your qualifications and your interests. Be sure to note the following points Every application is special and personal to you. Despite this, all applications should satisfy three basic requirements: they must be correct, well structured and complete. "Correct" primarily means the following: carefully check the text for formulation, grammatical and spelling mistakes. "Well structured" means: be sure to summarise the most important information in your application letter. What position are you applying for? Why are you interested in this position and what are your expectations? What makes you especially suitable for this position? Your curriculum vitae, appended to the application, should have a tabular chronological structure, starting with your current employment position. "Complete" means that the application must include a cover letter (including your salary expectations and earliest date of potential commencement), a curriculum vitae and all important references. Your application should spark curiosity and a desire to read further. Tip: give your application a personal touch - It is a good idea to mention your hobbies and personal interests in your curriculum vitae. We would like to form a picture of you as both an employee and an individual - and this requires more than just your professional qualifications. - Add an extra "letter of motivation" to your application: Why do you want to work for us? In your opinion, how will the company benefit from employing you? Which of your skills will be particularly useful in the position you are applying for? This type of letter is also an excellent starting position for a subsequent job interview. Well prepared for the job interview Once you have been invited to an interview, you have already overcome a major hurdle on your way to a new job: we found your application so interesting that we would like to get to know you better. The job interview is a great chance to present your personal interests and capabilities. The job interview process at MANN+HUMMEL A job interview at MANN+HUMMEL usually lasts between 45 and 60 minutes. Normally an employee of the department offering the position is present in the interview. Apart from that, there will be one memeber of the HR department who leads through the interview. The interview usually begins with questions about the curriculum vitae that you sent with your application. This gives you the chance to describe specific points in your previous career that were particularly important to you, for example. This is then followed by questions on your previous job experience. What were your previous tasks and what appealed to you? What are your strengths? Why are you particularly suitable for the advertised position? In the interview we want to find out if your skills and interests are well suited to the requirements of the position and how you can contribute to the success of the company. Preparation is half the work How should you prepare for such questions? This answer is easy: you should know as much as possible about your potential employer and the concrete requirements of the advertised position. Information on this is provided here on the website and in the job advertisement. Friends and acquaintances who are already familiar with the company are also a good source of information. As an applicant, you will also have many questions relating to MANN+HUMMEL. We recommend that you write down any questions that you were not able to answer through your research on a piece of paper and bring this with you to the interview. Do not be shy about asking questions relating to salary, holiday entitlement, further education and promotion possibilities. Good preparation will provide you with realistic expectations. As personal as your career path In the interview, we will of course take account of your current situation in life. Those applying for training courses will not yet have any professional experience. We therefore speak to those just embarking on a career about their favourite subjects at school or their hobbies, for example. The aim remains the same: we want to form a picture of your abilities and preferences so that you and your job are well matched. Remember, not only do you want to show us your best side - we want the same! The invitation to a job interview means that we are already keen to have you as a new employee. We wish you success!
