You are applying for a job/internship in Germany and need to write a cover letter to show your future employer your qualification and motivation for this position, but...

• What is a cover letter exactly? 
• What kind of information should you include?
• What standards do you need to follow when writing a cover letter in Germany?
• How do you match your text to the specific job/internship/employer?
• How do you improve your text and thereby your chances of getting hired?

In our interactive workshop we will address these topics and help you write a successful and convincing cover letter through a mixture of presentations and group work - so please make sure that you can use your microphone and camera. We will also answer your individual questions in order to help you prepare a successful application and get that job!
