Bewerbung Online oder per E-Mail: So klappt’s

Hello, my name is John Doe, and I’d like to tell you about applying for jobs in Germany – specifically, how to do it online or through email. It can seem a little confusing at first, but it’s quite straightforward if you follow a few steps.

First Steps: The Anschreiben

Every job application in Germany must have an Anschreiben. This is like a cover letter in English. It’s a letter you write to the company explaining why you want the job and why you’re a good fit.

• Beispiel: “Sehr geehrte Frau Müller, ich schreibe Ihnen, um mich für die Stelle als Projektassistent zu bewerben.” (Dear Ms. Müller, I am writing to apply for the position of project assistant.)

The Anschreiben should be short and polite. Don’t just list your qualifications; explain them.

• Beispiel: “Ich bin sehr interessiert an der Arbeit in Ihrem Unternehmen, da ich meine Fähigkeiten im Bereich Marketing gerne einsetzen möchte.” (I am very interested in working in your company, as I would like to use my skills in the field of marketing.)

Your Lebenslauf (CV)

Alongside the Anschreiben, you need a Lebenslauf. This is your CV – the equivalent of a resume. Make sure it’s clear, well-organized, and up-to-date. Include your education, work experience, and skills.

• Beispiel: “Studium der Betriebswirtschaftslehre, Universität München, abgeschlossen 2022.” (Degree in Business Administration, University of Munich, completed 2022.)

Applying Online

Many German companies use online application portals. It’s usually very easy.

• Beispiel: “Ich habe mein Bewerbungsformular auf der Website von ‘Innovations GmbH’ ausgefüllt und meine Dateien hochgeladen.” (I filled out the application form on the website of ‘Innovations GmbH’ and uploaded my files.)

You’ll often need to upload your Lebenslauf and Anschreiben as PDFs. Make sure they are clear and easy to read.

Applying by E-Mail

Sometimes, you’ll send your application directly by email.

• Beispiel: “Ich habe eine E-Mail an die Personalabteilung von ‘Tech Solutions’ gesendet, mit Anhängen meines Lebenslaufs und Anschreibens.” (I sent an email to the HR department of ‘Tech Solutions’ with attachments of my CV and cover letter.)

Important Tips:

• Use formal language: Always use “Sie” (formal you) when addressing the company.
• Check your spelling and grammar: Mistakes can make a bad impression.
• Attach documents as PDFs: This is the standard format.

• Beispiel: “Bitte beachten Sie, dass alle Dokumente als PDF-Datei eingescannt und gespeichert werden müssen.” (Please note that all documents must be scanned and saved as a PDF file.)
