This YouTube video (JobGenius, presenter Jochen May of Karrierebibel) explains why applicants should not skip the cover letter and shows how to use it effectively by answering four focused questions: (1) Why this job? — emphasize company-focused motivation and link your talents to the employer's problems; (2) What are your specific strengths? — highlight differentiators; (3) What were your past successes? — give concrete, ideally quantified examples (e.g., cost savings); (4) What is your personal working style? — convey personality traits like meeting deadlines, organization, and teamwork that don't appear on a CV. The cover letter is framed as the "Kür" that complements the CV and can distinguish candidates with otherwise similar backgrounds.
