First steps in an international company

The signing of your contract marks the beginning of your journey in one of the world's largest corporations, but in a highly personalized form. This means that we provide you with intensive guidance from your first step.
All this should give you the tools for a successful start with your new tasks.
We focus on the individual. Anyone who works at thyssenkrupp Automotive Technology should be safe and sound and return home. This is our top priority and we work on ensuring it every day. We want to reduce the number of accidents by systematically eliminating unsafe conditions and actions. Our vision is very clear: "Zero accidents".

We and our employees are diverse. This diversity is reflected in gender, age, origin, religion, ideology, sexual orientation, identity, experience and life models.

Your entry is only the first step. We have firmly anchored your advancement in our personnel development guidelines. Both on and off the job, our teams, as well as each employee, receive individual interdisciplinary development.
Our training focuses: Quality management, management development and the promotion of intercultural understanding. But technical training and seminars on occupational safety, health management and environmental protection are also in demand - and not just among engineers.
In addition, we invest indirectly in the know-how of our employees: We promote the acquisition of further qualifications, for example through part-time study models. In addition, the principle of job rotation gives specialized employees the opportunity to discover new areas and locations and thus unimagined potential in themselves.
A buzzword that is often a requirement – but the individual balance depends on the personal circumstances and preferences of each individual. There are as many lifestyles as there are people at thyssenkrupp Steering. We design a working environment that gives our employees the freedom to strike the right balance between their private and professional lives. We offer flexible working time such as flexitime or home office days, as well as part-time employment models, because we know friends and family are a valuable part of our employees' lives.
People don't just have different personalities. They also have different needs and ideas. That's why we offer a hybrid working environment that enables mobile, flexible and home office work without sacrificing personal contact and social interaction.
thyssenkrupp fully supports the measures taken by the national and regional authorities. As a rule, we expressly ask all employees working in administrative areas to take advantage of the wide range of home office options offered by our corporate group and to work from home.

Elaborate on one or two key points from your resume.
Focus on addressing the following questions:

6. Be unique!
On social media you divulge information about your life, views and personality. Depending on the posts, this can be good or bad for your job search. Our tip: Use these platforms specifically for self-marketing! Because Xing, LinkedIn, Facebook and others can help to attract the attention of potential employers and contacts to you in a positive way.
Do you travel a lot, are you passionate about chess or do you analyze the stock market in your spare time? Great! Do you have a soft spot for math, languages or IT? All the better! Share your strengths and interests with the world – in the form of posts, comments and virtual resumes. Use LinkedIn or Xing, for example, to make your professional qualifications public.
Engage in networking! The more you network with other users, the easier you are to find on the World Wide Web. Keep making contacts – professional and personal – and connect with people all over the world. LinkedIn and Xing offer you the fabulous opportunity to connect in a professional environment with users from a wide variety of industries and fields. Perhaps even with a potential employer.
