Speed learning English your podcast for the English language. This is Nanette with me as rich that by the way, which had what is the most frequent word that comes across in English at the moment. If you read the newest if you talk to people what is the most frequent word people are talking about election election. Everybody looks to the United States and it's really fantastic to see what kind of situation is happening there at the moment so now everybody knows when this episode has been recorded. We are still in the process of selecting a new president in the United States of America and we are all very very curious to see what's going to happen over there. Hopefully everything will stay Democratic and now let's come back to our topic for today because we don't want to talk about politics maybe another episode to not today. Today we would like to talk about application documents. Richard, have you ever applied to a job in English as I have many times and how did you structure your documents, what was important for you and what do you regard important for the human resource department that will received the letters because sometimes you only have an email like an email and how to say there is a form on the website and you have to fit in that form and send your document upload your documents etc. and then your credit to the letter that you can send oath with snail mail of the regular postal service. So how did you apply and what did you take care of so my applications nowadays because of the new data security laws. Most of the applications digital you hand in your resume CV and cover letter and digital, and digitally, and then most of the times are depends on the company you have to answer as the questions that are quite different and it depends on the company and into secondary want to waken so but most of the time you sent in your applications digital and how do you design your cover letter. For example, an Average. So in comparison with the German tablets are more German application in this application is a bit shorter in comparison to the gym. So, for example, your gem. Let's application. The cover letter should convince the company of the of your of your own skills and suitability for the position, then say the structure is quite similar introduction where you stating the reason for contacting the company and then you mentioned the job title used in the advertisement. Then follow it, but the main section, which you briefly and precisely describe the skills and experience that I acquired relevant to the job. So keep your eye on the price then you where there are some stylistic differences between the German application industry application is where be perceived as a bullish person wasting the Anglo-Saxon context. Use more active waiting for you to show your initiative and your motivation would you describe it as being more aggressive in a positive way to last last in the last episode you said you have to demonstrate that you are willing you really want to stop. So if that what this what you're trying to describe with active wording sample maybe for that sissy to a wedding aggressive. This has quite a negative connotation, even in this I would use I think I would stick with dwelling and was it. I think in Germany you would use the words amazing and great but at apply in the Anglo-Saxon context, and maybe it's a company where you that's a Loreal and you work in London and you would work with creating on the marketing set out in the marketing department and then you can use weddings like amazing maybe not maybe amazing in the context of depth below W products but you could use it use wedding grades as your affection to the company. Your your your your your seeing yourself working there. The wet wet experience. You have heard of that company. They can use weddings great and amazing in the German context of use rate and amazing people would perceive you as you wait, aggressive, and I think they would love to see if it is an aggressive person in the context okay and does it make a difference for you. If the company that letter. For example, John Deere Grenadier in Mannheim. Somebody wants to apply for job they're not John Deere is pure US American company, but it's still in Germany and the CEO here in Germany might be permanent, and the human resource responsible might be German as well. So what you use the German way to override a letter of application in English or would you recommend to use the English space will be more active demonstrating willingness etc. rethink the ark and other. In other words, to think that this this character's personality. Often, US American or Anglo-Saxon company has gone through the German answers daughter companies as well. Sister companies as well so I think you know well were well organized company. The company to cash of the company will always succeed and will always be seen, so it doesn't matter where John Deere is. For example, if it's in Rome or in Mannheim or in Marseilles, it won't matter because the culture of the company of the American corporate culture should succeed even in these overseas departments so I would suggest to use English English way of writing application because the company culture would be American. Of course, you could argue that if the HR personnel in the COI German. They will understand your context. Nowadays, companies outsource the HR department and often times he would write your your audio your application to the team Mannheim department. For example, but somebody in Louisiana would reach application so I would I would if you are applying, especially to American company anticipates that there have been American on English company culture interest set him in this this globalization and this digital digital revolution that we are into is really impressive and the other thing that that shortly. The human resource department will be run by artificial intelligence that has a look at your your wording as a look at your your voice may be once to have a video to analyze your orchestral and your younger tone. The strength and everything. Do you think that will that is already done or do you think this will be the future within the next few years again. Depends so for now, companies are using AI for for things like applications because you have to imagine a big company like Google would have to accept. I don't several thousands of applications of every year so I don't think that you can do it just by without AI anymore and underwent on the other hand, there are some legal regulations to the kids because you cannot use AI for everything. On the other hand, that certain positions in a company where you can be when you need emotional intelligence by the. The normal perceived intelligence that as of today has problems to contextualize emotional intelligence. For example, if you have a position where you need to understand interpersonal relationships, they cannot use AI fully but in the initial stages. You can use AI as as as as as more you get to the job interview. For example, they that you need, some human to human interactions way. I cannot pick up the fine details of everything so Sir still hope for the human beings world. I think it also depends on the on the brand because of the sectoral you're working on. Because if somebody works with let's say architectural. For example, they are not that much into artificial intelligence like Google and Google will probably receive 1000 application forms per day worldwide to think that if you if you are into that Internet segment and into IT business then you have to use IT. But if you if you work in the construction area are maybe fruit distribution. It might be something else. Okay Richard tips and insights into application forms and the difference between the wording in German and devoting in English and somebody listens from Italy or Spain or France or China, they will probably be different boardings in their countries as well, but he will want to focus on people who want to work in English speaking companies and in the next episode. I'd like to talk little bit about the interview itself. Let it be online Methodists at the moment. In most cases, or in direct contact. So I really love to talk with you about that next week so thank you for today and have a great time. Thanks and see you soon
