Bin gerade nicht wirklich konzentriert genug, aber schon mal grob...


Dear Sir/Madam (wenn du keinen Namen hast)

My educational background, experience, and skills make me an ideal candidate for the German Speaking Country E-business Developer that you listed in your Gummtree advertisement.

My profile perfectly meets your expectations of the (?) successful candidate for this position. As a computer-literate young postgraduate with excellent soft skills I am particularly interested in the internet and its business potential. During my internships I have developed strong abilities to deal with customers and I have convinced with successful conflict and time management (das ergibt keinerlei Sinn). Working in an organised way and being able to focus on details is a plus that I _ learned during my Master’s studies. My copywriting experience and German mother tongue empower (?) me to entirely fulfill the requirements for the job. I am an enthusiastic worker and enjoy working in a team. As _ an EU Citizen I do not need an employment permit and I could start work immediately.

My CV is enclosed as proof that I meet all the criteria listed in your ad. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the job vacancy with you on the telephone or in an interview. I can be contacted most easily on my mobile telephone or via e-mail. Thank you for your consideration.
Yours sincerely, (yours faithfully ohne Namen)


Viel Glück!

Danke erstmal dafür. Hier die überarbeitete Version. Was hat es mit sincerely vs. faithfully zu tun? Bzw. was meinst Du mit "ohne Namen"? Ist der Satz mit den Zeitmanagement jetzt verständlich? Ich will sagen, das ich bereits "durch mein zuverlässiges Zeit- und Konfliktmanagement überzeugt habe".
Danke

Yours sincerely,

Der Satz mit dem Zeitmanagement wird leider für Engländer nicht verständlich sein, das kann man leider nicht eins zu eins übersetzen. Hab schon überlegt was Du alternativ sagen könntest was den Sinn am besten wiedergibt, vielleicht könntest Du sagen "...and stood out through my reliable conflict management..." ist zwar etwas hochtrabender als "überzeugen" aber gibt meiner Meinung nach den Sinn am besten wieder.

Was Gibson mit sincerely vs faithfully meint ist, dass wenn Du den Namen der Person an die Du schreibst kennst dann muß es "Yours sincerely" heissen, wenn Dir der Name nicht bekannt ist und Du an Dear Sir/Madam schreibst dann muss es "Yours faithfully" heissen.

Viel Erfolg!

cloudy, please eliminate one of the Dear at the beginning of the letter.

Dear Sir/Madam:

... und Gumtree mit nur einem "m" ;)

Desweiteren wuerde ich mich nicht ueber Gumtree bewerben, sondern ueber die Email Adresse, die auf der Firmenhomepage fuer die Jobangebote angegeben ist:

If you are interested please send your CV and a cover letter to...

Auf der Firmenhomepage steht der Job allerdings nicht. Ohne zu schwarz malen zu wollen, aber da wuerde ich vorsichtig sein - besonders bei Gumtree Anzeigen.
Da der Gumtree ad auch schon 11Tage alt ist, kann es sehr gut sein, dass der Job auch schon weg ist. Dennoch: viel Glueck!

Achso und den ersten Satz wuerde ich ggf. etwas umstellen:

My educational background, work (oder "professional") experience, and skills make me an ideal candidate for the position of German Speaking Country E-business Developer, advertised on Gumtree London on 04/09/2009.

By the way, in BE the phrase is "covering letter" rather than "cover letter".

Danke. Und selbst, wenn es mit dem nicht klappt, kann ich das Anschreiben ja in abgeänderter Form wieder verwenden.
