Career FAQ

  • Have you found an interesting position at Beiersdorf? If so, apply directly online. Please note that all application-related activities are handled by our online recruiting system, we do not accept unsolicited applications via post or e-mail. Your online application will be reviewed by our Human Resources department and also by the relevant department. If your qualifications match what we are looking for, we will invite you to a personal interview. If this interview is successful, it will be followed by a second, more in-depth meeting. Depending on the position, this may all be preceded by a telephone interview or an online test, which we will inform you about in good time. 

  • All job postings on the job board are up to date. If you can find anything suitable, we suggest that you register for a "Job Agent". This news alert will send you an email, as soon as a job that suits your interest is published on the website. To do so you simply have to register yourself with your name and email address in the job board and add criteria for the job you are looking for. Apart from that we do not accept speculative applications.

  • As soon as you have submitted your online application, you will receive automatic confirmation that the application has arrived. If, after five weeks, you have not been informed whether you have been accepted for an interview or rejected, you will receive an intermediate reply. As many positions involve more than one team, we will review your application with several different managers in succession. We understand that this process is time-consuming for you, and would kindly ask you to notify us and withdraw your application if you accept an internship elsewhere during this time. Nevertheless, we will be pleased if you reapply at a later date. 

  • We would recommend to apply six months before you plan to start with BEYOND BORDERS. Please check the availability of your preferred program via the current vacancies. To apply, please use the respective online application form. If you are already registered you can edit your profile here.

    To edit your profile you will need a password. To retrieve your password please click on "Password forgotten" below the appearing login window. After entering your email address please click on "Submit Password" and you will be sent an password automatically.
