Questions before applying for a job at DACHSER

Apply directly on DACHSER's international job portal in a few easy steps. Please see the application process.

We require a resume but look forward to receiving other documents such as references, certificates and/or a cover letter. Your application gives us a first impression of you. When preparing your documents, ask yourself who will read your application and what will be of particular interest to your contact person at DACHSER and highlight this information accordingly.

In your cover letter, you'll describe your career to date and refer to relevant points in your resume, which you'll also enclose. Please also show your concrete interest in our company and your personal suitability for a specific position. Your individualized, DACHSER-related cover letter should be approximately one page. Especially in unsolicated applications, we ask you to indicate your desired focus of activities as well as your location preferences. Please also include your salary expectations (gross, p.a.) and your earliest possible starting date.

Please start your CV with data about yourself and your contact information (including your telephone number and e-mail address). We're also looking forward to a description of your career with detailed information about your previous professional stations and your education. In addition, we'd like to know more details about your experience, skills and expertise. Feel free to mention your personal interests so that we can get to know your personality. Please make sure that your application is structured in a comprehensible, chronological way and use a simple, clear design. Please limit yourself to a maximum of two pages.

These documents serve as proof of your professional activity and your further training measures. We recommend enclosing all relevant job references/service references and proof of qualifications with your application. If you are applying for an apprenticeship/study position or starting your career, we also welcome a current overview of your grades. Please provide us with your attachments in standard formats, preferably as pdf files. You are welcome to combine several documents.

Before applying, please ensure that your documents are in acceptable file formats. These are DOCX, PDF, image and text. (MSG, PPT and XLS file formats are not possible for resumes or cover letters.)
