Nail your COVER LETTER in Germany [+ Template]

[@yowaikemen]

Thank you for this! I was just thinking about writing up a cover letter in Germany!

[@turjo119]

Finally got time to watch this...was real busy with midterms and presentation. Really needed this so thank you ❤

[@ei256]

Super useful! Thank you!

[@maz_amor]

thanks!!!! 🤗

[@RealMineManUK]

Simply great, thanks

[@hydra_zero_void]

i got asked for a cover letter for my ausbildung hope I did not mess anything up lol

[@filics8770]

If I'm gonna apply like 50 different jobs, can I use the same cover letter? Because apparently I don't have enough time to customize every of them.

[@fawzimourad]

Can we please get a video on what's the process to invite a family for a vacation, and for a significant other to join me in Germany? : ) Thank you!

[@simplegermany]

You would need to check the visa regulations for the nationality. For family vacation it would usually be a tourist visa and for a significant other as well, unless you are married or engaged. You can use the visa navigator from the German government: www.auswaertiges-amt.de/en/visa-navigator/2315250

[@fawzimourad]

@@simplegermany Thank you for the quick response. i'll make sure to check it 😊😊

[@PeterChristiaens-m2r]

I am writing a cover letter and got a couple questions I hope you or someone could answer. 1) It is a software company and the job posting only uses "du". Should I also use du/ihr as they "set" the politeness level with their language choice for the job posting or keep it with "Sie"? 2) Many job postings, like this one, want German and English abilities (Ich kann schon Deutsch). If they asked for someone who can do both German and English, would they see it as weird writing half the paragraphs in German and the rest in English, or would they see this as me checking off the "you need to be bilingual" bullet point?

Could you please create content about Conny and the apartment rental control law?

[@zameerkhan8824]

Missing standard opening??

[@soubarnabanik9156]

When someone is applying via email, do you suggest to repeat the cover letter content in the email text?

[@simplegermany]

You can attach the cover letter and CV to your email and use the text in your email just to introduce your application.

[@anand.prasad502]

Where's the intro ? "We help expacts settle in Germany more smoothly.yyyy"

[@anand.prasad502]

you put it in the middle !!!

[@UzairKhan-sw4sk]

can we use bullet points for the 3rd paragraph ?

Congratulation Jen on your successful laser eye surgery. I am sure it will make a big difference and don't worry you will quit looking for your glasses first thing in the morning soon lol

The download list for English jobs in Germany doesn't work, I've tried to access it an number of times now. Can this be provided in another way?

[@simplegermany]

Sorry to read you’re not able to access the list. I’ve double checked and the access works. The list is in a Google Sheet so you need to have a Google account to access it. If you have one, you can use that to access the link and make a copy.

After visiting the country, I am so much interested to come to Germany and work there. I have completed Diploma in Engineering in Electronics engineering on 2002 and after that I’ve worked in Akij Group (Cigarette factory) as an Electrical engineer and on that company, I’ve worked on German made (COMPANY NAME: FOCKE & CO.) high speed cigarette Packing Machine almost 11 years. From March 2013 I started to work with a US based company in Bangladesh till date as a Plant Manager. My age is 40 and I started to learn German language. Will you pls inform us can I come to Germany for work? Pls advise.

[@Tranquilitybytes24]

Do we need to provide the formal cover letter in the Motivation fields of job application forms+

[@simplegermany]

Normally, you would submit your cover letter together with your completed CV. 🙂 But every job application is different!

[@zoubirkenani8397]

Great work please the photo in CV it’s necessary for all European countries ?

[@simplegermany]

It's not obligatory, but in our experience it helps if it is professional.

[@zoubirkenani8397]

@@simplegermany thank you for information

[@Tranquilitybytes24]

😢is it okay to give our private and professional details as part of the Application process in the Career menu of the organizations?? The Application process suggests to submit info like Education, Experience, Motivation, and other documents. The motivation field accepts text. Can we apply through such sites??

[@simplegermany]

It depends! Every job application can be different depending on what company you are applying for. The best way to make sure you are applying to legitimate job roles is to do this through professional platforms (i.e. LinkedIn, the company website, etc.) Another great way is to contact recruitment companies to help you find a job in your field. 🙂

[@eGamingfull]

Hi girls :) I am a Holzbauingenieur from Bosnia and I want to move to germany, but i cant find a job as I have no experience - i just graduated from Uni. Any tips on finding a job without experience? Seems like no one wants to employ me

[@simplegermany]

Internships or apprenticeships are always a good way to start gaining experience 😊

[@Аста-м6у]

should we actually mail it in a hard copy? or if it's an e-mail, should i still write full addresses?

[@simplegermany]

Follow whatever is stated in the job listing.

That space Shirt is cute, but not very camera friendly. It took me roughly 6 minutes to understand that the shirt is covered in stars and NOT a bunch of fabric pills and feint white stain. 🙈

Thanks for the feedback ☺️

[@ProdByAnouar]

Cover letter is over in 2023 ...but since in Germany fax and letters are still in use , then cover letter is another bureaucracy that is required ! My son 16y is unable to understand why a letter is required!

[@simplegermany]

It's not required for every job, but the more traditional the company, the more necessary it is.
