English translation:Inquiry (enquiry) from a former applicant
Explanation:
"Question" is possible here, but "Anfrage" often means "enquiry". I guess it depends on the context.

Aniello may be right. If the applicant applied for a job, then it\'s certainly an \"application\". A bit more context would be helpful. TIA.
