Hello expats!
Long time and no posts! After almost moving to Turkey I took a job position in Russia as a qualified primary teacher and do love it but I feel it might be the time to move on.
I am applying for a position in Germany that I have wanted for the longest time. Unfortunately the first time I applied (3 years ago) I simply did not have enough professional experience.
Things have changed quite a bit, I have been working in my field for about a year now, improved a great deal in my German language skils and made a couple of trips to Germany one of which was professional development oriented.
I am so worried that my cv and cover letter will go unrecognised again.
Main questions:
What are some good ways in both the style of my cover letter and CV to stand out without being tacky or over eager?
I have done a "Europass" style CV which appears to me to be the best format and does a great deal to highlight foreign language competency. Your thoughts on how this format is accepted in Germany?
The institution has asked applicants to submit all materials via email attachment...once again I am worried about being looked over. What is some decent advice about how to title email/ put in body of email to increase my visibility?
Thank you
