Application tips
Shall we say "you" to each other?
Open and personal: At the BAUR Group, we treat each other as friends and meet as equals - even during the application process. We would therefore be pleased if we were on first-name terms with each other.
Your Application
Preferably online
First of all: We look forward to every single application we receive and look at all of them very carefully. But: We are friends of the Internet, after all, the BAUR Group earns its money in online retail. That's why it's best to apply directly online via our job advertisements - without any paperwork and without having to go to the post office. This is good for the environment, doesn't cost you any postage and saves us time, because we have your documents available digitally right away.
Cover Letter - yes or no?
We think there are areas where a cover letter is not absolutely necessary, e.g. if you want to apply as an employee for our logistics department. However, if you want to apply for a position in our Corporate Communications department, for example, a cover letter is an advantage to get to know your writing style.
Unsure? Don't drive yourself crazy. If we're missing any documents, we'll get in touch and you can simply submit them later.
The Introductory Meeting
Face-to-Face
- We start with a short round of getting to know each other. Then you take center stage: Who are you? What are you like? And why are you here? We simply want to get to know you.
- After that, we'll talk about technical topics and give you a detailed introduction to the job you've applied for - after all, you want to get to know us and the BAUR Group too.
- Then we'll talk about the hard facts, such as working hours, vacation and salary. Finally, we'll talk about how the application process will continue and when we plan to get back to you.
If you feel like it, we'll give you a tour of the department after the interview so you can get an idea of what your new desk and your new colleagues might look like.
Via Video Interview
Long journey? No problem! We are also happy to hold meetings via video call. This saves time and money, but is at least as exciting for you as a live interview on site. Here are a few tips to get your video interview off to a good start:
- Choose a suitable environment for the interview where you will be undisturbed for 30 to 60 minutes. A quiet room background is also a good choice.
- All lights on you! Make sure there is enough light - you are the focus of the interview and we are happy if we can see you clearly.
- Set the speakers so that the volume is comfortable for you and you can hear us well
