At the beginning of every successful application there is the applicant’s self-analysis. What am I capable of? What am I looking for? What skills can I incorporate into the desired job? And naturally, one also has to consider the following: What will I get out of the job? Will it be too big or too small for me? What advantage to my career will the job / the company provide?

The more honest and substantive you are when answering questions – whilst still being convinced that the job or the company in question are right for you – the more your application is likely to succeed. You should only apply for a job that is really suitable – and that means suitable for both parties.

Self-analysis is helpful during the forthcoming job interview. The more realistic, the more reflected you are, the more authentic and convincing you will appear. And the better you will be able to answer even tricky questions. Particularly the question why you of all people consider yourself to be the right person for the job.

Please ensure that all documents necessary for applying for the advertised position as well as the covering letter and CV are attached to your application. As in the case of a conventional application dossier, the covering letter and CV must be prepared in a descriptive, clear and concise fashion.
