Those looking for student jobs or an internship find some difficulty showing their academic information and skills in a way that brings attention and focus to their experiences. I will list here some tips stemming from the personal experiences of many students.
First off, you don’t have to wait until the second semester to apply for jobs if you were a master’s student who moved to Germany after finishing your undergraduate degree in Jordan. As a university student, you can begin looking as soon as you are accepted.
Curriculum vitae
Your curriculum vitae should be written in German, include the start and end dates of your academic degree, as well as the name of your graduation project, in addition to the name and location of your university.
The experience is the second part. Here, it is advised to list positions details as a timeline, from most recent to oldest. However, in this case, include the name of the company and the location of the site, as well as the outcome of your tasks or -if it’s a research position- the name of the paper(s).
It is advised to list any additional languages or computer skills alongside the names of each certified certificate.
Job Application Email
You should send your application via a professional email address, such as a university email.
First paragraph:
It’s important to express your interest in the position in the first paragraph of your letter, as well as to mention the location of the job application alongside the date it was posted.
Middle paragraphs:
In this part of the letter, you can introduce yourself as a candidate. Why are you a good fit for the position? What can you provide the university/company?
Final paragraph:
In the final paragraph, express gratitude for the reader’s time and let them know your resume is attached. Also, express your gratitude for the recipient’s consideration of your application.
To end your letter, type your full name after using a formal close like “Best” or “Sincerely.”
There are lots of ways to write an e-mail, but it depends on showing how interested and passionate you are about learning everything new. And how well do you know about the project or the company’s products and the latest challenges.
