When to use
Use this phrase in professional or administrative contexts when a candidate or customer asks how to apply for a position. It is polite, informative, and sounds like a native speaker due to the informal contraction.

Gibt's (Contraction)
This is a contraction of 'gibt es' (there is/are). In spoken German, the 'e' in 'es' is often dropped and attached to the verb with an apostrophe.
Dative Case with 'auf'
The preposition 'auf' is a two-way preposition. Since it describes a static location here, it triggers the dative case, changing 'unsere' to 'unserer'.
Compound Nouns
'Bewerbungsformular' consists of 'Bewerbung' (application), a filler 's', and 'Formular' (form). German frequently combines words this way.

✕Common Mistakes
Ja, auf unsere Website gibt's das Bewerbungsformular.
When 'auf' describes a location (where?), it requires the dative case. 'Unsere' must change to 'unserer' for the feminine noun 'Website'.
Ja, auf unserer Website gibt es das Bewerbung Formular.
German uses compound nouns. 'Bewerbung' and 'Formular' must be joined into one word: 'Bewerbungsformular'.

Cultural Tip
