Bewerbung

job application

What it means

A job application, conventionally including a Lebenslauf (CV), Anschreiben (cover letter) and any relevant certificates (Zeugnisse).

In practice

A complete German-style Bewerbung is still expected to include a photo and full document set at many traditional employers, though this is far less common at international companies.
