How to use this template

A German Anschreiben is one page and more formal than an English cover letter.

  • In the first sentence, name the position and where you saw it.
  • Give a concrete achievement — not "I'm a team player" but numbers/results.
  • Show why this company → prove you researched it.
  • Address a named person if possible; otherwise "Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren".
  • Add your earliest start date (Eintrittstermin).
  • Fill every [BRACKET].
