Your CV, your style

Make sure your CV is clear and well-structured, but don't forget to let your personality shine through. Use simple headings and a consistent layout to emphasise your individuality and professional experience.

Your application, your showcase

Ensure that your CV is free of spelling and grammatical errors. Ask someone to proofread it and make sure the layout and formatting are consistent, as this will create a professional impression.

Be real, be yourself

It’s perfectly normal to feel nervous, so just be yourself! Choose a smart outfit that you feel comfortable in, and be yourself during the interview. This will help you to make a lasting impression.

Body Language: Part of making a good impression

Things like posture, gestures, and eye contact often influence how others perceive confidence and engagement. Being respectful, attentive, and sincere tends to leave a lasting impression wherever you are.

Preparation is everything

Familiarise yourself with the company and the tasks. Consider how you can contribute your strengths and experience, and answer questions precisely – this will impress in the interview.

Show interest & learn more

Show your interest by asking questions – this will give you valuable insights into the position and the company. After all, we want to ensure that we are as good a fit for you as you are for us.

As soon as a position is advertised at PALFINGER, you can apply for it online. For apprenticeships: Our apprenticeships usually begin in autumn.

For a summer internship, which takes place during the summer holidays, you should apply in December of the previous year or early the following year. (There may be some differences in foreign locations.)
