    I am interested in several jobs. Can I apply for multiple positions at the same time?
    The job offer is written in English – should I write my application in English as well?

    Our “Triple Two” philosophy promotes this expectation, by allowing you to work in at least two different roles, in two different business areas and two different countries. The reason behind this philosophy is that we believe working in different roles, business units and functions is good for your personal development and improves your understanding of Henkel as a global company.
