Dicas do DAAD para escrever uma boa carta de motivação

© iStock/DAAD
A carta de motivação é um documento bastante solicitado na candidatura a bolsas de estudos, cursos universitários ou vagas de emprego na Alemanha. Por se tratar de uma prática pouco comum no Brasil, costumam surgir muitas dúvidas relacionadas a esse documento, que é chamado  de “Motivationsschreiben” em alemão e de “Letter of Motivation” em inglês.

A carta deve ser considerada uma chance de ir além do currículo obrigatório, apresentando aspectos de sua personalidade e os motivos que levaram a se decidir pela candidatura. O importante é não repetir literalmente o conteúdo do CV. Os pontos mais relevantes do currículo podem ser destacados na carta, fazendo uma relação com o seu propósito de estudar ou trabalhar na Alemanha.

O DAAD apresenta a seguir algumas dicas de conteúdo e forma para ajudar a elaborar uma boa carta de motivação.

Tópicos da sua formação que podem ser mencionados:
• Curso(s), número de semestre(s) cursado(s) e, se for o caso, títulos acadêmicos
• Experiência profissional
• Conhecimentos técnicos e habilidades específicas
• Domínio de idiomas
• Prêmios e nomeações

As razões para a escolha do curso e da faculdade/da bolsa do DAAD devem ser consideradas na elaboração da carta:
• Por que você escolheu esse curso?
• Por que você escolheu essa faculdade/instituição?
• O que você espera dos estudos na Alemanha/desse curso específico em termos profissionais e pessoais?
• Por que você decidiu se candidatar a uma bolsa do DAAD?
• Como a bolsa do DAAD poderá ajudar a alcançar seus objetivos profissionais e pessoais?

Interesses pessoais e atividades extracurriculares podem ser citados para enriquecer a carta:
• Engajamento em projetos e atividades que mostrem suas características pessoais e reforcem seu propósito de estudar ou pesquisar na Alemanha

A carta de motivação deve ter entre uma e duas páginas no formato A4. Não se esqueça de assiná-la antes de enviar. O site do DAAD na Alemanha também apresenta algumas dicas (em alemão).
