Tips for application & interview

There is a good chance that you have experienced something similar before: A brief impression is often enough to take a liking to someone. This does not only apply to real encounters but also to written communication. Take your chance by positively standing out from many others with a strong application. You can then inspire us with your enthusiasm in the interview! Some tips you can find here:

 

Application: Win us over with strong content...

  • Add a little personal note to your application:
    Avoid using empty standard phrases. Introduce yourself (briefly): Who are you? What sets you apart? What were your highlights in your career up until now?
  • Show that you have looked into our company:
    Why do you apply for a job with us particularly? Why is BHS Global Logistics appealing to yo in particular?
  • Get to the heart of your strengths:
    What can, and do you want to achieve at BHS Global Logistics?

... and score with good form

Use our online application tool.
Review your documents thoroughly before uploading them:

  • Is your application complete: application letter, CV, report cards and certificates, additional documents (such as certificates for completed vocational training or further education)?
  • Is your contact information in the application letter and CV up-to-date?
  • Are the layouts of your application letter (continuous text) and CV (table) neat and appealing?
  • Have you thoroughly proofread your application?
  • Are all documents properly scanned and saved as PDF files?

Tip: Four eyes see more – ask someone from your family or circle of friends to proofread your application letter and CV.

This is not how it works!

  • A standard application letter (which may also be addressed to "Company XY" instead of "BHS Global Logistics") shows: An applicant is sending out documents en masse and indiscriminately – and has no specific interest in our company. 
  • Incomplete applications with errors and many irrelevant documents reflect badly on the applicant: Is that how poorly he or she will perform on the job?

Be yourself during the job interview!

If you win us over with your application, we will invite you to a job interview. Just make the best of it: Get to know us better – and convince us that you are the one!

  • Plan to arrive on time. For the trip to our company, take traffic into account.
  • It goes without saying that a well-groomed appearance is crucial. Choose clothes in which you feel comfortable and appear confident.
  • Do not try to slip into a role. Show us who you really are. Be frank, pleasant, and honest.
  • Make sure to thoroughly look into our company and our products and services.
  • Prepare to ask questions. This is how you demonstrate your true interest.
