Constructing a Motivation Letter for Employment in Europe

Usually, Motivation letters are written in a formal business format with your name and address located at the top right corner. Under these information and adjacent to the left margin should be the name, job title, company and address of the recipient. In European countries, they don’t really put a period after title abbreviations so better leave them off.

The job position you are applying for must be stated in the first paragraph of your motivation letter and your qualifications of the job at the second paragraph. Remember to talk about your qualifications. Don’t just list them! Show to them that you are motivated to get the job. The reason why you want to apply for the specific job must be written in the third paragraph and lastly, give your contact information details at the fourth paragraph.
