Usage notes
- The objective of the solicitation is given with um, in the sense of “apply” alternatively also with für. The recipient is given with bei.
- The preposition auf + accusative is used to give the occasion of an application: sich auf eine Stellenanzeige bewerben (“to apply in response to a job advertisement”). Some speakers also use this construction for the job itself (sich auf eine Stelle bewerben), but this may be frowned upon and is at any rate informal.
