Your application is your personal calling card and gives the company a first impression of you. Your application package should look professional and include all the essential information about you. This includes a targeted cover letter, a resume, copies of all your transcripts, proof of employment, and a professional photo.
In a nutshell
The average hiring manager has only a few minutes to decide whether the applicant meets the necessary qualifications and competencies for the job. That’s why your chances improve with a short and concise application. A detailed list of your employment history, further education, and professional experience is required and will be reviewed first. Keep your descriptions of each position brief and try to explain any gaps in your resume clearly so that no questions arise.
Submitting Your Application
Nowadays, application materials are primarily sent via email or an online form. Please make sure to consolidate multiple individual files into a single PDF to ensure the clearest possible structure. Many companies limit the size of attachments or the email with the attachment to a maximum of 5 MB. You can include the cover letter either directly in the email or as the first page of the PDF.
If you are sending your application by mail, please make sure never to send originals by mail; instead, include only clear, legible copies. You should also ensure that the packaging and folder are sturdy and secure.
