The General Job Application Letter is a fundamental document in the Austrian job application process, used when formally expressing interest in employment opportunities with organizations. This document is essential for initiating the hiring process and must comply with Austrian labor laws, including the Equal Treatment Act (Gleichbehandlungsgesetz) and data protection regulations (DSGVO). The letter serves as a professional introduction, typically accompanied by a CV and relevant certificates (Zeugnisse), and should be written in a formal style characteristic of Austrian business communication. It is used across all professional sectors and can be adapted for both speculative applications and responses to specific job postings. The document should be structured to include relevant qualifications, professional experience, and motivation while adhering to Austrian business etiquette and application conventions.
