What is a good motivational text

The purpose of the motivation text is to demonstrate your suitability for the assignment you are applying for and to quickly trigger our interest. Unfortunately, a mere “dot” or "see CV" does not give us a picture of a motivated applicant, even if you are. Here are our easy tips for writing a good motivation text.

A good motivational text is short and concise. A few sentences in which you say the following:

  • Relevant experience to the assignment
  • Relevant technology skills to the assignment
  • Concrete examples of your work experience relevant to the assignment
  • Always remember which assignment you are applying for!

We cannot stress enough how important it is to consider the role/assignment you are applying for. By that you show us that you have read the assignment description and know what you are applying for. With these tips, we can guarantee that you will stand out from the crowd the next time you apply for an assignment!
