FAQ

There are concrete application deadlines only for the Student Development Programme and the Haniel International Trainee Programme JOIN! The following applies for all other job offers from the Group Holding Company: you can apply for as long as the job offer is on display in the job portal. When we have received a sufficiently large number of applications and have already started the selection process, we will remove the job offer from the site. If you apply, we will contact you by e-mail.

An application should include complete information about the person and his/her job history. Our online form guides you through the categories “Personal data”, “Education” and “Professional experience” step by step. It is best to keep your résumé to hand so that you can easily transfer all the relevant data.

We also offer you the opportunity to upload attachments such as a personal covering letter. Here you can include information about yourself which is not necessarily connected with your job history. What impresses us are applications which convey a concise, though comprehensive impression of you as a person, your professional experience as well as your goals and the factors that motivate you.

A curriculum vitae, application photo and references can also be uploaded as attachments. Depending on the field of activity, samples of your work can add strength to your application. It is recommended to upload the attachments as a complete document. It is important here that the order in which your references appear matches the chronology of your job history. Bear in mind as well that all attachments should be saved as PDFs. The permissible size of individual files is 5 MB. A total of 10 MB can be uploaded.

We can assure you that we will treat your data confidentially and only use it for the purposes set out in the privacy policy. You can view these when submitting your online application – or alternatively by clicking on Privacy right at the bottom of this page. You will only be able to send off the online application form after accepting the privacy policy.
