Why the CV matters
Your CV is often the first proof that you are organized, serious, and ready to communicate professionally. A clean German-style CV helps recruiters and employers understand your profile quickly.
What to include
- Full name and contact details
- City and country
- Education history
- Work experience, internships, or volunteering
- German language level
- Other languages
- Technical or sector skills
- Certificates and relevant documents
Keep it focused
Do not write a long biography. Keep the CV clear, factual, and aligned with the sector you want. If you apply for hospitality, highlight service experience. If you apply for IT, highlight projects or technical learning.
Common mistakes
Avoid unclear dates, missing language level, unprofessional email addresses, and generic motivation. A good CV should support the same story you will tell in the interview.
