Application Tips

Read the job vacancy carefully and thoroughly. The tasks described should closely correspond to what you imagined your dream job to be, and your skills should ideally match the requirements mentioned.

You may find current vacancies here.

Feel free to send us a speculative application if you can’t find a suitable position at the moment. Note that it’s all the more important to us, for your speculative cover letter, that you broadly elaborate on your qualifications, letting your personality shine through.

You can send us your speculative application here.

Correct grammar and spelling with a smooth style are very impressive – that much is obvious. However, we are particularly interested in why you want to work with us and how you are just the right candidate for the advertised position. If you apply via your LinkedIn or XING profile, there’s no need to submit a cover letter (but of course we’re always happy to hear more about your motivations and experiences).

What you should look out for:

• Wording
• Letting your personality shine through
• Telling us what exactly you would like to accomplish at SENS in the field of renewable energy
• Reminding us how you found out about SENS
• No larger nor more than a single German-standard A4 page

What your CV should look like:

• List previous positions and experiences, as well as your social commitment(s) and give us an insight into your other activities, responsibilities and projects (most recent at the top)
• Use subheadings and bullet points for clarity
• Photo? Not necessary! If you’d like to include a photo, make sure it’s high-quality and shows you in professional attire.
• Maximum 1-2 German-standard A4 pages

Sometimes less is more – no need to send us more than the relevant documents. These include:

• Graduation certificates & work references
• Professional certificates
• Other relevant (e.g. linguistic) certificates
• etc.

In finalising your application, don’t forget to indicate your earliest possible starting date and your salary expectations. Your potential salary plays an important role in the application process, especially for permanent positions.

Looking to apply for a work-study program or an internship? Just let us know about your earliest starting date.

Don’t worry, you don’t have to squeeze into a suit for us – our dress code is business casual. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and ready to tell us more about you.

If you are invited to a video call, you will receive an invitation link via e-mail. This will redirect you to the Microsoft Office Teams platform. For the smoothest experience, try using the Teams app on your PC (if available) or simply log in via your browser. Your camera and microphone should be activated for the interview.

Test out your device in advance to ensure all technical requirements are met.

Make sure you’re authentic during the interview – we want to get to know the real you and why you’re a perfect fit for SENS!

• Our attention will be 100% on you, so we likewise expect the same
• Being early for the interview is always better than arriving late
• Prefer honesty over exaggeration
• Let us in on some personal, professional insights
• Share learning experiences and stories from your previous positions

And most importantly? Have fun! Fostering a relaxed atmosphere for you to truly shine in is vital for our hiring team. If there’s a funny anecdote to go along with your experiences, we’re all ears!
