Application documents are a universe unto themselves and can be a real challenge. The Application Guide is an online tool we’ve developed in Moodle that guides you step by step toward creating strong application documents. Here you’ll find information, important tips, and helpful questions to enable you to generate personalized and meaningful documents that authentically position you in the job market. Currently, the Application Guide is available only in English, but a German version is planned for the near future. Let's get started!
