Ask HN: Developers' jobs in Europe. Best cover-letter, cv practices.
Dear European HNers,
I was wondering is there any special requirements ( like stronger cover-letter OR no need for good cover-letter, 4+ pages CV vs. <4 pages CV, etc. ) to apply for web-developer jobs in Europe ( specifically in Berlin and other tech-hubs in Europe ), since I know that there could be a bit difference than what it is in the US.
I've recently read blog posts about "How to find a job in IT" but they are all specific for SF, NY and nothing about European Startups / Tech companies.
I recently applied with a cover letter, which inclues the company's logo created with CSS3, HTML by me @ codepen ( It looks like a trend now ), but I don't know if the HR team in Europe will think that this is unserious and will skip my application.

Can anyone suggest some best practices. Thanks!
