Our team will carefully review your application. If your profile fits, we’ll invite you to a personal interview.

3. Interview
We’d love to get to know you: Who are you, what excites you – and what are your expectations for your training?
After the interview, we’ll give you time to reflect: Sleep on it, talk to your parents or friends – and send us a short written response the next day to let us know if you're still interested.

4. Two-day trial internship
If your feedback is positive, we’ll invite you to a two-day trial internship. This gives you a real insight into what your everyday life as a trainee would look like – and helps us see if you’re excited about the job.
