THE SECRET IS THAT…
It’s not just about using the right template it’s about the content!
👋 Hey, I’m Jen! I was born and raised in Guatemala and have been living in Germany since 2012.
In 2015 I changed careers because I realized I was stuck at a dead-end job. So, I learned to code on my spare time.
With these new skills, I was confident I was going to nail jobs in no time.
Boy, was I wrong!
I applied to over 100 companies, and no one ever replied.
Not even a ‘thank you.’ I was shocked!
I qualified for the jobs. But I wasn’t getting ANY interviews.
I followed generic advice from YouTube and other websites on how to craft a cover letter to stand out.
But they were not doing the trick…
UNTIL…
I adapted my strategy for the German job market
With all the rejections I was getting, I knew I had to change something.
I needed help. And as it often happens in life, the help I needed was right in front of my nose.
My breakthrough happened when I reviewed my application with a German hiring manager (who happens to be my wife and co-founder of Simple Germany😅).
Suddenly, it all clicked!
I was not adapting my cover letter to the German job market!
We tweaked my cover letter and application and things started to change.
I started to receive replies!
I got my first job as a developer in 2016 🎉.
After that, my job applications were a breeze.
Mainly because I had understood the mindset and strategies required to stand out in the German job market.
I had interviews at top-tier companies like trivago, Vodafone, and Shopify.
Suddenly, I had multiple job interviews 🤯.
I want to help you nail your cover letter so your application can also stand out.
That’s why I’m not only providing an easy to edit template, but video tutorials on how to fill out each section step-by-step.

YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING…
Do you even need a cover letter anymore?
Here’s the thing…
Most companies in Germany still rely on traditional hiring practices, including reviewing cover letters.
So, the chances that you will need to attach a cover letter to your application are pretty high!
Now, a cover letter alone is not going to get you an interview — it’s just one piece of the puzzle.
However…
It could break or make your application.
Put yourself in the shoes of a hiring manager in Germany.
You have two job applications for the same role in your hands.
You read the CVs and both candidates have similar work experience.
Then, you read the cover letters.
The first one is generic, repetitive, and generated with AI. It doesn’t even sound human.
The other one is personalized, catches your attention and sparks a genuine interest.
Who would you invite for an interview?
It’s not a trick question — I hope your answer was the one that wrote a tailored cover letter and sparked your interest.
It’s not rocket science
I don’t want to sell you the idea that crafting a killer cover letter is rocket science.
Because, it is not!
You don’t need a magic formula to make it work.
All you need is some small, but important tweaks.
Once you’ve nailed those, you’ll be crafting killer cover letters in no time!

WARNING
There is no guarantee
When I was struggling to craft a job application to stand out in Germany, I found A LOT of advice online.
Most of the creators promised that if I followed their advice and bought their products I would see results.
That promise never became true.
So I want to be honest with you by telling you that — yes, this product is a shortcut to gain the necessary knowledge to make your cover letter stand out!
However…
You still need to put in the work and adapt it to your particular case.
So, I’m not promising you that you will get job interviews. Because that depends on so many factors. Like job experience, English fluency, and skills.
BUT!
I will share with you all the knowledge I have in regards to successfully getting a job in Germany. I don’t hold anything back.
That’s my promise!
I’m sharing EVERYTHING I know about crafting a cover letter that stands out in the German job market!
