Hello Chichiritchi

Nowadays, it is most practical to print out your CV. However if you have a Motivation letter you need to attach to your CV, then this can be hand written.

The hand written type of letter is important in places where your hand writing skills is required.

There is a place in St. Pauli, where you can get help with your CV and job applications. it is called Gemeinwesenarbeit... www.gwa-stpauli.de

You can get help there in most languages.. certainly English.
