 SIGNATURE

👀STRUCTURE👀

Sender/contact details

List your contact details at the top of the document. Provide the recipient with multiple contact options by including a phone number and a legitimate e-mail address in addition to your home address.

Subject

There’s no need to experiment here either. The recipient should be able to see immediately what kind of document they have and what position you are applying for. Make the subject a short title instead of using whole sentences like “I would like to apply for position X” or “I am applying for the position of X”.

Greeting

If you know your contact person, you can address them by name. If this person has a title, you should use it – if there are several titles, the highest title is sufficient (e.g. “Prof.”, even if the full name contains “Prof. Dr.”). If you do not know your contact person, write “Dear Madam/Sir”. However, it is advisable to research who the contact person is, and address them personally in the cover letter.

Introductory remarks

The introduction is about arousing the reader’s interest in only 3 to 5 lines so that they do not immediately reject your application. You can do this as follows:

• Briefly state your motivation for the application. Ideally, you can use the introduction to highlight that your interest in the position results from your previous work experience and that the advertised job position fits optimally to your interests and qualifications. However, limit yourself to a few sentences.
• State the main argument for your application. This can be specific knowledge and skills, your professional experience, studies and training, or previous successes. Be sure to concentrate on the essentials. More detailed descriptions should only take place in the main body of the text.
• A leading sentence rounds off the introduction. For example, you can emphasize your willingness to perform.

Main body

This section is about selling yourself as a worker and person as convincingly as possible. The main section should cover the following points:

• Name the most relevant hard skills you possess for the job. Be sure to include the skills that are explicitly required in the job posting. Don’t just list these skills, but explain how you acquired or used them by referring to your previous work experience or education.
• Also list your outstanding soft skills. At many workplaces, certain soft skills are particularly in demand, e.g. the ability to work in a team, problem-solving competence, and resistance to stress. Soft skills are usually more difficult to prove, but some soft skills are automatically associated with specific positions or industries. If an applicant mentions their experience in a marketing agency, it is quite credible for them to draw attention to their communication skills. However, avoid too many personal soft skills that are difficult to prove (e.g. knowledge of human nature, empathy), or those that are not of any use for the desired position.
• The main part of your skills should relate as much as possible to the job you’re applying for. In this way, you can explain why your skills make you the ideal candidate for the job. It is also an elegant way to move on to the next section.

Corporate reference

In this section, you will answer the following questions: How can I enrich the company and why did I choose this company as my employer? You should give the reader the impression that you are the perfect candidate for the position. Not only do you need to relate your skills to the professional position, but you also need to explain why you as a person fit into the company. You can achieve this in the following way, for example:

• Describe the job as your next career step. This will give you the impression that the job you are aiming for is the logical next step in your career.
• Briefly outline the reasons why you find the company interesting. Highlight the positioning of the company within the industry. Explain why it is your personal goal to work in this company.

Ending

The last impression is one of the most important. However, if the reader has held out to the end, the cover letter has probably already been interesting enough so you will only have to do a little persuasion work. However, always express your wish for feedback. Also signal your willingness to appear personally in the company for a job interview. If an earlier starting date is also possible for you, this is a plus point that you could attach at the end. This can be particularly helpful if the company wants to fill the position promptly.
