Application

In Germany, there are guidelines for the content and form of your application. You always need a detailed cover letter in which you explain why you are applying and what skills distinguish you.

You must also prepare a CV in tabular form and enclose copies of all relevant certificates, diplomas and qualifications. As a rule, you are also expected to include a photo.

Please inform yourself in detail about the German application regulations. You can usually send your application online as a PDF file. You are rarely expected to send it by post.

Make sure you submit important documents in German or, if applicable, make it clear that your qualifications are recognized. If you have specific questions about your application, it is always possible to contact the potential employer in advance by email or phone.
