The cover letter: one that gets read

The Anschreiben is a one-page "motivation letter". Structure: the first line hooks ("because I already did X — here is the result"), the middle has 2–3 achievements with numbers, the end says what you bring THEM, not "I seek growth". No "Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren" — find the recruiter’s name (LinkedIn). Most important: one letter = one posting, templates do not work.

• ●"Ich bewerbe mich" is weak. "I did X and can do Y" is strong
• ●Numbers: "+30% sales", "team of 5", "1000 clients"
• ●Send within the first 48 hours — later you are one of a hundred
