  1. Research is everything:  Once you've found a company you're dying to work for, gather as much important information as you can. For example, if you research the right contacts and addresses, you can send your unsolicited application straight to the right place. Or find out whether there are currently vacancies in other areas of the company. If the company is generally not looking for new employees, there may be a hiring freeze and your initiative may be unsuccessful. A first phone call with the company can clarify possible questions, e.g. which documents or which form of application are desired. It also gives you the opportunity to establish contact with the company. And if you know an employee of this company personally – all the better. In your cover letter, also refer to the recommendation of the internal contact.
  2. Emphasize technical strengths and add value: Let your muscles play - of course only subject-related. Show your qualifications and what you can offer the company in this position. Thanks to your extensive research, you know what the potential employer attaches importance to and which qualifications are particularly in demand. Therefore, put your talents and experiences, which can offer concrete added value for the company, into the forefront of your CV. But stay realistic and authentic. Above all, mention projects and achievements that demonstrate that you have expertise in a field that is relevant to the company and the job you are looking for. Because here you have to sell something that the company did not even know it would need: you as a new employee.
  3. Personal note: For all your expertise and know-how, however, do not forget your personality. Personnel want to hire not only over-workers, but people who fit the culture of the company. So show your social skills, your style of work and your qualities - in a sensible, profitable relationship to the future wish place.
  4. Get to the point: Avoid phrases like "I would like to apply for a job in your company ..." - you will certainly not win a bouquet of flowers and certainly not the attention of the HR specialist. Instead, your cover letter must express your motivation for the future position and make it clear to the employer why he should hire you, even if he is actually not looking. Get to the point quickly and describe your current background (position, qualifications and what makes you look for a new future and challenge). But do not write contemplation essays. Communicate what you want and what you have to offer to your counterpart. The cover letter should be short and crisp and should not exceed 1-2 pages. The general rule for unsolicited applications is: As short as possible - as long as necessary!
  5. To attract attention Consider whether a failed application might be a good idea. Especially in creative occupations you can show by a deviation from the standard, which potential is in one. It does not have to be the same as billboards or webpages, but one look at the Internet shows many examples that have given candidates for a WOW effect.
  6. A good figure, on all channels: Before submitting your unsolicited application, you should update your online presence in job portals and on job platforms. And also take a critical look into your social networks - what information do you give and what is not intended for the general public? Because nothing disqualifies you faster than disagreeable / inappropriate data as well as gaps or contradictions to professional experience and qualifications.
