full (or detailed) application giving reasons why you think you are the right person for this job.


Explanation:
I think this is a case wher eyou have to expand the concise German formulation . "Position" is better than "job" but would have taken me over the limit for the number of characters!

agree  Erich Friese: ...that's what is expected from an application ..BUT it's not a precise translation of 'aussagekräftig'..´aussagekräftig Adj. expressive; Statistiken etc.: sound, convincing
19 hrs
  -> It's true. Of course, we could go with Stephen's suggestion: Convince us that you're the best for the job... But how do you convince someone other than with a detailed account of qualifications and experience???
