How does the ideal application look like?
The requirements for a complete application differ from country to country, even within German speaking countries and within Europe. Typically, the application contains a covering letter (motivation letter) and the CV (in American English “resume”) with copies of references and educational certificates (graduation, exams, university degrees) and language skills. Ideally, the CV starts with a short summary of most characteristics, skills and personality profile (bullet points), followed by a detailed description of the employers in chronological order starting with the latest employer first.
