QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR APPLICATION
How do I apply?
Once you've found a position that interests you, you can apply either through our quick apply option by completing the online application form or by creating a candidate profile in our system. Creating a profile allows you to view the current status of your application, submit any additional documents directly via the portal if necessary or apply for future vacancies without having to re-enter your information. When you use the quick apply option, a candidate profile is also created for you in the background - in this case, the email address provided in your application will serve as your username.
Which file formats are accepted for the application?
DOCX, PDF and JPEG are accepted.
What is the maximum file size for application attachments?
The maximum file size is 10 MB per file, with a combined upload limit of 20 MB across all files.
What documents should my application include?
To help us get a comprehensive picture of your background, experience and qualifications, we encourage you to submit the following documents: a current CV, a cover letter outlining your motivation and relevant certificates and references.
Can I review or edit my application after sumbitting it?
If you wish to make changes to your application, you can do so at any time via your candidate profile.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE APPLICATION PROCESS
How long will it take to receive feedback on my application?
Carefully reviewing each application takes time, as we want to ensure that every application receives the attention it deserves. You can usually expect a response within 2–3 weeks. If you haven’t received a response by then, please contact the person listed in the job advertisement or the Recruiting Team to enquire about the status of your application.
Can I apply for several jobs at the same time?
Yes, you can apply for several jobs. Please make sure to upload the correct application documents for each job.
What can I do if there aren’t any suitable vacancies advertised for me?
In that case, you’re welcome to submit a unsolicited application at any time. You’ll find the general postings for these alongside our regular job advertisements.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE JOB INTERVIEW
How can I prepare for a job interview?
To make a great impression at your job interview, it’s best to familiarise yourself with our company values and culture beforehand. Our website and social media channels (YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn and others) are ideal for this. Feel free to also research the relevant department and their current projects, so that you know exactly what the role entails. Also, think of a few questions that are important to you. This shows genuine interest and helps you understand the role you’re applying for better. And very importantly: prepare a brief introduction in which you summarise your experience and strengths – just be yourself.
If the interview is taking place on site, have a look at the site map in advance so you can find your way around our campus easily. For online interviews, please make sure your equipment (internet connection, camera, microphone) is working perfectly.
What happens if I’m invited to a job interview but am unable to attend?
If you're unable to attend a job interview, please contact the relevant department to arrange an alternative date.
Does the MHH cover travel costs for job interviews?
Unfortunately, we are unable to cover or reimburse any costs incurred in connection with job interviews (travel expenses, meal costs, etc.).
