Auf was sollte ich bei der Bewerbung achten?

If you are looking for an apprenticeship, you should make sure that you don't ruin your chances with a bad application. It is better to give yourself enough time and start planning early so that you can send off your application with your school report from the school year before last. It makes sense to have already written your application beforehand and only need to add a copy of your school report. This is because popular companies and professions in particular are often overrun with applicants, so it can't hurt to be one of the first people to apply for an apprenticeship. An application for an apprenticeship should consist of the following documents:

• Application folder
• Cover letter / letter of motivation
• Curriculum vitae
• Application photo
• Certificates and proofs

To make sure you stand out from the crowd of applicants, you should pay attention to the content of your letter of motivation as well as a neat and tidy application. What makes you suitable for this apprenticeship? What skills do you have that are important for this apprenticeship? How can the company benefit from you? Present yourself as best you can in short, concise sentences. Don't put on too much weight and don't overdo it. There is often only a thin line between self-confidence and overconfidence. Always have someone else read your application before you send it off, be it your parents or, even better, a teacher.
