I am very well positioned for job applications. The feedback from Career Service on all my questions has been very helpful.

A good application is always unique. Five applications tailored to the desired employer/internship are more promising than 100 blind applications and application samples from the Internet, where only names and small details are exchanged. We support you in all phases of the application and give you tips for a perfect application.

On this page, we provide you with tips for a successful application process and information on other application-related topics.
