About This Book
With the 5th revised and improved edition, published by a state funded publisher involved in EU programs and a partner of the Federal Ministry of Education, you receive the concentrated expertise of renowned authors (overview in the book preview) and extensive add-ons as well as individual consulting. At the same time, you do good and support sustainable projects. Because there are still many myths about the right application method: Is it better to apply online or is it still possible to use the classic application folder? How must the perfect resume look like? Is the much-discussed cover letter obsolete or is it still necessary for the prospective employer? And what role do reputation management and motivation letters play? This book clarifies these and many other questions and helps applicants to present themselves optimally as a personal brand to potential employers and to gain experience in the application process.
