Faceland Fotostudio Berlin has been photographing business and application photos on Keithstraße at Wittenbergplatz for over twenty years.

Die Hoffotografen have been photographing in Berlin since 1998 and have been based in Fehrbelliner Straße in Prenzlauer Berg since 2016. Christine Blohmann and Rosa Nußbaum work with their own make-up artist, and packages range from one to five settings. For job applications, this means: a portrait that can also be taken outdoors.
At the Coachingteam in Gärtnerstraße in Friedrichshain, ten coaches with a psychological or business background work, many with their own experience in recruiting.

Textbauer Lektorat on Torgauer Straße is owned by Ulf Schumann, who has been exclusively proofreading and editing since 2014 and explicitly lists applications in his service catalog. Billing is per standard page; urgent orders incur a surcharge. For job applications, this means cover letters and CVs receive a professional review before submission.
TicketZumJob operates its own shop in the Bötzowviertel and uses a method developed over six years that determines the form, color, and structure of application documents based on psychological principles. Consultations are available in six languages. For applications, this means: a self-study course, individual coaching, or subsidized support are available.
Digitaldruck Wedding has been printing in Tegeler Straße since 1989, offering not only standard paper but also Mondi Color Copy at 100 and 120 grams, as well as cover cardstock at 270 grams in eleven colors. Binding options range from comb binding to hardcover. For job applications, this means: the portfolio is created where it's printed, potentially even on the same day.
Reading novels, poetry slams, poetry, blog authors, and Twitter lectures - the free reading stage in ORi is particularly varied.
