Careers

We are delighted that you are interested in working for the Economic Development Agency Brandenburg (WFBB). Below, we have put together some answers to important questions relating to applying for a position at the WFBB

We publish interesting vacancies in a wide range of areas on the WFBB website. The job advertisements accurately reflect the tasks and the profiles we are looking for, so you can use them as a guide and if a vacancy matches your profile you can send your application to the WFBB. The WFBB does not accept speculative job applications.

Please use our e-recruiting portal to send us your online application. Sending your applicant data electronically allows us to review your application quickly and easily and speeds up the application process. For this reason, please do not send us applications by email or post.

It is up to you whether you attach a cover letter.

Once the application deadline has passed, all the applications that have been received are reviewed. The first step is to check that all the requirements specified in the advertisement are met.

Candidates are then selected to be invited for an interview. The interview is normally held on the WFBB premises.

If we decide to hire you, we will then clarify the formalities with you, such as drawing up the employment contract and when you will start work at the WFBB, so that you can get started with the WFBB as soon as possible.

Candidates who are not selected for employment will be notified promptly.

If you have a foreign qualification, please provide us with evidence that it is equivalent to a German qualification.

Corresponding information is available on the websites www.anerkennung-in-deutschland.de and www.kmk.org/zab.

The WFBB will always hold a personal interview with you regarding your application, normally with a follow-up interview together with management. We do not typically use assessment centres.

The length of the process depends on the number of applications received and the availability of the individual applicants.

As soon as the application deadline has passed, candidates are invited for interviews (within max. 3–4 weeks). We allow a buffer period here, to give you sufficient time to schedule the job interview and make preparations accordingly.

In our experience, the entire application process from the end of the application deadline to the hiring of the new employee can take up to roughly two months.

Travel costs are reimbursed on the basis of the Circular of the Minister of Finance Reisekostenzuschuss bei Vorstellungsreisen - Neufassung of 23 August 2005. No further costs are reimbursed.

The WFBB pays on the basis of the Collective Agreement for the Public Service of the Federal States (TV-L). This enables us to ensure a transparent and fair remuneration, which you can determine in advance by using the TV-L Wage Calculator.

We offer mandatory internships as part of degree courses. Other types of internships, such as work experiences for pupils, are unfortunately not possible.

If you have any other questions before submitting your application, please send us an email to bewerbung@wfbb.de. We look forwarding to hearing from you and will answer your question promptly.
