This workshop will only be offered in English and is addressed exclusively to international students.

Of course, you can use one of the many sample proposals to prepare your applications. It is quick, practical and costs nothing. However, will it be of any use?

Doesn't it make more sense to create your application individually? With the arguments and content that speak only for you? Employers are looking for employees who are able to actually DO the job. 

Your application must prove that this is the case. Empty phrases and general places are hardly sufficient to stand out from the competition. In our workshop, you will learn with practical examples how to analyze job descriptions and how to put your skills in the right light.

Get more insight about the typical "German way" to write applications. Therefore, we are going to talk about CV and cover letter and the necessity of application photos.
