Be concise!
About six sentences are enough. But the email does
in no way replace the application letter that needs
to be annexed. Make sure the email does not have
the same content as the application letter. Write your
address, telephone number and email address as
contact information below the text (see picture above
or on the reverse):
Attachment:
Vertrieb:
BBL, Vertrieb Bundespublikationen, CH-3003 Bern
www.bundespublikationen.admin.ch
Bestellnummer: 716.208.d
>Sender: Do not send your job application email
from a company or other personal computer. Choose

Peculiarities
The job application by Internet barely differs in
content from a ”normal” application by mail.
Use application forms:
Clear subject:
The subject line must instantly make clear which
job offer you are applying for. A good example:
”Job application by Fritz Müller as sales asssis-tant”.
Should the job offer include a application form on
the homepage of the company, you should use it
and write no separate email application.
Muster E-Mail
Only contact personalised email addresses:
Email you applications only to personalised email
addresses and not to the like of info@musterfirma.ch.
Should you need to find the address of the relevant
person, you can find out by telephone or at the
company’s homepage.
No standard emails:
Every job application is distinct. Therefore do not
send any standard emails, but react to the specific
requirements of the company.
