Applying for Events

This guide explains how to browse available events, submit applications, and manage your existing applications.

Browsing Available Events

The public Events page shows all events that are currently open for applications. Events are grouped by month, with headings like "Juni 2026" or "Juli 2026".

Each event card displays:

• Event image -- a photo on the left side of the card (or a placeholder if no image has been set).
• Event name -- the title of the event, optionally linked to an external website.
• Date range -- shown with a calendar icon.
• Location -- shown with a map pin icon, including the address. If an address is available, a small map icon links to Google Maps.
• Description -- a text description of the event.

Viewing Available Tasks

Each event card has a button at the bottom labeled "Verfügbare Tätigkeiten anzeigen" (Show available tasks). Tapping it expands the card to reveal all tasks you can apply for. Each task card shows:

• Task name (e.g., "Barkeeper", "Servicekraft")
• Hourly pay in the format "12,50 EUR / h"
• "+ Trinkgeld" if tips are included
• "Volunteer" badge if the task is unpaid volunteer work
• Task description

Tap "Verfügbare Tätigkeiten ausblenden" to collapse the task list.

Applying from the Events Page

If you are logged in and the event is open for applications, you see one of two buttons:

• "Jetzt Bewerben" (Apply now) -- if you have not applied yet. Tapping it takes you to the applications page and opens the application form.
• "Bewerbungen bearbeiten" (Edit applications) -- if you have already applied. Tapping it takes you to your applications page.

If the event is not open for applications, you see the greyed-out text "Bewerbung geschlossen" (Application not enabled).

If you are not logged in, you see "Anmelden um zu bewerben" (Log in to apply), which links to the login page.

Past Events

By default, events older than 30 days are hidden. To see them, scroll to the bottom and tap "Vergangene Events anzeigen" (Show past events). Tap "Vergangene Events ausblenden" to hide them again.

If no events are available at all, you see: "Noch keine Events geplant" with the message "Es sind derzeit keine Events geplant. Schau einfach spaeter noch einmal vorbei."

Your Applications Page

The applications page is headed "Deine Bewerbungen" (Your Applications) and has a "Neue Bewerbung" (New Application) button in the top right.

How Applications Are Displayed

Applications are grouped by year. The current year's applications are always shown expanded. Previous years appear as collapsible sections with the year and application count (e.g., "2025 -- 3 Bewerbungen").

Each application card shows:

• Event image on the left.
• Event name as the title.
• Task badges -- short names of the tasks you applied for, shown as badges. Hover over a badge to see the full task name.
• Available dates -- shown with a calendar icon, if you specified date availability.
• Team name -- shown with a people icon, if you entered a team preference.
• Notes -- shown with a notebook icon, if you added notes.
• Settings icon (gear) -- tap to edit the application.

If you have no applications, you see a document icon with the text "Noch keine Bewerbungen vorhanden" (No applications yet).

Creating a New Application

To start a new application:

1. Tap "Neue Bewerbung" on the applications page. This takes you to the Events page where you can select an event and tap "Jetzt Bewerben".

The application form is a multi-step dialog:

Step 1: Select Tasks

The dialog title shows "Bewerbung erstellen" with the event name below and a step indicator (e.g., "Schritt 1 von 3").

1. You see a section labeled "Verfügbare Tätigkeiten" (Available Tasks).
2. Each task is listed with a toggle switch, the task name, and either the hourly rate (e.g., "12,50 EUR / h + Trinkgeld") or a "Volunteer" badge.
3. Toggle on the tasks you want to apply for. You must select at least one.
4. If you do not select any task, you see the error: "Bitte waehle mindestens eine Tätigkeit aus".
5. Tap "Weiter" (Next) to proceed.

Step 2: Select Available Dates (if applicable)

This step only appears if the event has specific application dates.

1. You see a section labeled "Verfügbare Tage" (Available Days) with the instruction: "Deaktiviere die Tage, an denen du nicht verfügbar bist."
2. All event dates are listed with toggle switches, all enabled by default.
3. Turn off the toggles for dates you are NOT available.
4. You must keep at least one date enabled. If none are selected, you see: "Bitte waehle mindestens einen Tag aus".
5. Tap "Weiter" to proceed, or "Zurück" (Back) to go to the previous step.

Step 3 (or Step 2 if no dates): Additional Information

1. You see a section labeled "Weitere Informationen" (Additional Information).
2. Teamname (optional) -- enter a team name if you and friends want to be grouped together. The placeholder shows "#TEAMNAME". Spaces are not allowed in team names; if you try to type a space, a dialog explains: "Das Teamname Feld ist dazu da, einen gemeinsam ausgewaehlten Teamname anzugeben. Falls du uns erklaeren möchtest wo oder mit wem du zusammen arbeiten willst, schreibe das bitte in die Notizen."
3. Notizen (optional) -- a text field for any additional notes. The placeholder text suggests including experience, availability, or special wishes.
4. Tap "Bewerben" to submit your application, or "Zurück" to go back.

Editing an Existing Application

1. On the applications page, tap the gear icon on the application card you want to edit.
2. The same multi-step form opens, pre-filled with your current selections.
3. The dialog title shows "Bewerbung bearbeiten" instead of "Bewerbung erstellen".
4. Make your changes and tap "Speichern" (Save) on the last step.

After saving, you see: "Bewerbung aktualisiert".

Deleting an Application

1. Open the application for editing (tap the gear icon).
2. On step 1, you see a red "Löschen" (Delete) button.
3. Tapping it shows a confirmation dialog: "Bewerbung löschen" with the message "Möchtest du die Bewerbung wirklich löschen?"
4. Confirm with "Löschen" or cancel with "Abbrechen".

What Happens After You Apply

After submitting your application:

1. Your application appears on the "Deine Bewerbungen" page.
2. The event management team reviews all applications.
3. If you are selected, you will receive a shift assignment on your Shifts page with the status "Eingeteilt".
4. You will then need to accept or reject the assigned shift (see the Shifts guide).
