Anschreiben: connect your experience to the role
Iranian applicants in Germany should use an Anschreiben, where requested, to explain why their actual experience fits the vacancy. Give concrete examples from Iran or Germany, identify the role accurately and follow the employer's application instructions.
Step by step
- Write for this vacancyCheck whether a letter is requested, match your evidence to the role and proofread the final application before using the required submission route.
Read the vacancy and the employer's own information before drafting. Name the advertised role and reference where provided, address the relevant contact and explain your motivation for this employer. The agency recommends linking your strengths to the actual requirements instead of sending the same text everywhere.
Use a concrete example of relevant work or study, including Iranian experience, without exaggerating your responsibility or qualifications. Keep contact details accurate and ask for an interview in a short closing. Some employers waive the cover letter, especially in online applications; check before adding one. Review spelling, names and consistency with the CV before sending.
