The application for the trainee program is made online, directly via the job description. The application should be as carefully prepared as possible so that we can form the most authentic impression of you right from the very start. For instance, we are interested to learn why you would like to work for Deutsche Telekom and what you expect from us.
We would also like to learn about your skills. This includes your qualification, practical knowledge, and international experiences that could be relevant for your desired position at Deutsche Telekom. Are you involved in social projects or have you even done some of your own projects? Then you must tell us more about them! This helps us immensely to gain an insight into your personality.
As an alternative to a conventional application, you can tell our recruiting team more about yourself as part of an exposé. This is an opportunity for you to make us curious with interesting facts that you couldn’t include in your CV.
Important: The exposé is entirely voluntary.
Once we have received your application, our recruiting team will begin to view your documents. We gain an insight into your skills and professional qualifications. However, we believe it is very important to learn more about your personality.
We require around two weeks for this process. You will then receive a response from our recruiting team.
Hiring day is the core of our recruiting process. In a single day, you will decide on your future at Deutsche Telekom.
All done! As a trainee, you are now part of Deutsche Telekom and can get ready for interesting professional challenges. Of course, the decision as to which quarter you will join us is as individual as the trainee program itself.
