💡 German CV tips

• Reverse chronological order: newest first.
• One to two pages. Use month and year (MM/YYYY) for all dates.
• Language levels with the CEFR scale (A1 to C2). Mention certificates.
• Explain gaps briefly, for example “Language course” or “Job search”.
• A photo, date of birth and nationality are optional. Employers may not discriminate based on them.
• Add place, date and your signature at the bottom.
• Send it together with a cover letter (Anschreiben) as one PDF.
