Nowadays, companies search for qualified young potential employees of diverse study areas. Please be informed about the companies at the Constructor Career Fair. The better you are prepared the easier it is for you to answer and ask questions. This guarantees interesting conversations right away.
8. Do I have to bring my application documents?
In order to present yourself and show some general interest in the company a short application consisting of your CV and a short cover letter should suffice. These days many companies prefer an online application including your complete application documents as they are easier to handle. Thus, our recommendation is: Remember the name of the company representative at the fair. This way, when you apply online and give his/ her name, your application can be easily sorted and referred back to you.
For professional preparation and presentation of your application have a look at our Online-Tutorials and our CV-Tool. These resources are available for free to all Constructor Students and Alumni.
9. Do real job interviews take place?
This depends entirely on the company and the way in which the dialogue is happening. Often the conversation and the exchange of your documents may lead to a job interview. It is up to the company if this interview will happen at the Constructor Career Fair or later.
