This method allows us to process your application faster than through traditional postal mail. Additionally, applying online is more environmentally friendly. However, you are also welcome to apply by post – this will not put you at any disadvantage.

You will not be at any disadvantage if you omit a specific salutation and instead use the formal address "Dear Sir or Madam." Your application will be forwarded by the HR department to the relevant hiring department.

Cover Letter

Make sure to include the job title and, if applicable, the reference number, and mention where you found the job posting.

Also, show us why you want to work at Kurtz Ersa and what particularly interests you about the position. If necessary, include your salary expectations and the earliest possible start date.

If relevant to the position, also include your soft skills, IT, and language skills. Additional commitments or special abilities can also be listed.

Certificates

Attach all relevant certificates in good copy or scan quality. These may include:

• Your most recent school certificate, if you are still in training
• Training, Bachelor's, Master's, or diploma certificates
• All relevant work certificates from previous positions
• If available: Internship certificates for students, graduates, or pupils

If you cannot provide certain certificates at the moment, briefly explain this in your cover letter.
