You should pay attention to this when applying via email
The employment agents at ISE Sprach- und Berufsbildungszentrum GmbH are in close contact with employers in the region. You often notice that companies don't want traditional application documents sent by post. The reasons for this are primarily time-related, economical and organizational.
Online applications are simply quicker easier to handle and, if in doubt, cheaper to cancel. So much for the advantages for a potential employer. But you as a job seeker also benefit - also financially. You no longer need to buy expensive application folders, send original pictures and you also save on postage fees and the envelope.
Many private employment agency customers contact the ISE employment agencies with questions and want to know what they need to pay attention to.
