Write the cover letter, CV and portfolio
You open a file in the browser and write the application yourself. You do not need Word or an installation. The assistant first asks whether this is a permanent job, an apprenticeship or a freelance project. The template, the tone and the questions then follow that path. You enter your name, stations, skills and projects once. The same entries appear in the cover letter, the CV and the portfolio. At the end a PDF is on your device.
What you finish with
Cover letter
One page to the employer. The role from the advert first, then one station of yours, and at the end the request for a meeting. You write the subject line and the greeting yourself. What the CV already says in the table stays out of the letter.
CV
Stations with month and year, plus the short profile. 101 layouts. You change structure and colour, the texts stay. The short profile and the CV come from the same entries. A gap stands as a period, without an apology.
Portfolio
You enter skills and projects once. The same list appears in the portfolio, with one colour, one image and one of twelve templates. What the CV already says, you do not write again here. You attach the portfolio to the letter.
How the application is written
1. Open the file
You open the file in the browser. You do not need Word or an installation. Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS are enough.
2. Choose the path
You choose a permanent job, an apprenticeship or freelance. The template, the tone and the questions follow that choice.
3. Write the stations yourself
You write the stations yourself. The program does not create sentences. Every sentence needs a station of yours.
4. Enter once
You enter your name, stations, skills and projects once. The same entries stand in the cover letter, the CV and the portfolio.
5. Change the layout
A favourite remembers the structure, the colours and which blocks are visible. When you change the layout, the texts stay.
6. Send the PDF
The cover letter and the CV go to the employer as a PDF. You add the portfolio. The subject line is the same as in the letter. The file stays on the device.
Once 29 €
One workplace, no installation. The same file is also on CD or a USB stick, posted from Germany. The entries stay on the device. You set the interface to six languages. The cloud at €3 a month is the only second contract, and only if you want it. This is not a subscription.
View in the shop
One course day for the room
You run the course. For the room you book one course day: one code, any number of PCs, one calendar day. Anyone who wants to keep the studio afterwards buys it and names your code. The commission stays with you.
To the page for training providersAn application for one person
A sample application is ready for one person when a Jobcenter or the Agentur für Arbeit is to check the 29 € from the placement budget. Approval stays at the office’s discretion.
Eight decisions
Each page decides one thing. You write the sentences yourself.
- 1. Letter to DIN 5008. Form B when the advert asks for it. Otherwise one clear page, one typeface, left-aligned. Date, subject and closing follow the same order, and the PDF keeps it.
- 2. Letter of motivation. One page on why this path. An advertised job stays a cover letter. An apprenticeship or a course of study asks about the path. A job asks about the station.
- 3. CV in English. No photo, no date of birth, no marital status. You write the sentences yourself. You set the interface to English. The program does not translate the CV.
- 4. Gaps in the CV. A long pause in half a sentence, with month and year. No apology. The period stays visible. The sentence names the activity or the pause in one word.
- 5. The application photo. Not required. If you add one: current, head and shoulders, face clear. In Germany you add it only if you want to. It stays out of an English CV.
- 6. Shorten the cover letter. The role, one station, the close. What the CV already says comes out. One page is enough. The second paragraph does not repeat the table.
- 7. Sentences without a station of your own. “A team player” and “passionate” stay out. Every sentence needs a station of yours. The program suggests no phrases.
- 8. Follow up. A short letter with the role, the date and one station. Not a second cover letter. You remind them of the application. You do not retell the file.
