How to Apply in Germany: A Guide – Not Only – for International Students

Do I need an application photo? How many pages should or could my CV be? – German job applications come with some special features that in particular international students might stumble upon.

Therefore, in this session of the lecture series „Wege in den Job” (Pathways to a Job), the Careers Service will give a concise overview of the application process in Germany.

You will learn information on the following issues and questions:

• How do I find and read job offers in Germany?

• How do I write and design my (German) CV?

• How should my cover letter be structured and which contents are important to German recruiters?

• Which services at HHU and its partners can support me in finding interesting jobs and getting a job in Germany?

After the presentation there will be a Q&A session.

Students of all faculties and terms and are kindly invited to attend this event. It will be held in English.
