- Marks achieved at school and during studies have a significant but non-decisive influence on assessment
- Expertise does, of course, have a positive influence if, for example, it can be acquired through internships and job
  experience
- Experience abroad is often advantageous, for example, a semester in a foreign country or a student exchange.
  But it does not always necessarily have to be an internship abroad
- Very good knowledge of the corporate language English is extremely important. German and Chinese language
  skills are not necessary for all internships, but can always be regarded as a plus
- At the end of the day, a significant decisive factor is above all personal and social competence. Today,
  communicative skills, capacity for teamwork and enthusiasm have become exceptionally important due to the
  increasing significance of operating within a network
- And last but not least, a high degree of motivation is a crucial criterion for decision making

It is the overall impression of an applicant that is decisive, not single factors. The perfect mix, the right combination of all decision criteria determines whether a decision is made against or in favor of an applicant.
