Testimonials and certificates
Which certificates or other proof of qualification belong in the application dossier?
Not all certificates accumulated in the course of life belong in the application, but only the meaningful ones. Primary school reports are of no interest to personnel decision-makers, and after several years of working life, even the high school diploma is no longer important. The following list shows which certificates belong in which order in the application documents:
- university certificate
- training certificate
- internship or work certificates Internship references are only relevant if you do not have any work experience and do not yet have any work references.
- certificates of completed training or courses Internship references are only relevant if you do not have any work experience and do not yet have any work references.
Quality takes precedence over quantity: As a rule, the last three references should be included. It is also advisable to select other qualification certificates according to relevance. All important references should be attached, even if there is a bad one among them, in order to avoid possible negative impressions or justification for a missing reference in the interview.
Interviews
We provide you with comprehensive support for your interviews and prepare you optimally so that you can present yourself in the best possible way. What should you still keep in mind during interviews?
