The Problem
Why Should You Care About Having A German-Style CV?
Even though you might be looking for an English-speaking job in Germany, chances are high that a German will see your CV and decide whether to invite you for a job interview or not.
Simply translating your CV into English or using the CV that landed you a job in another country won’t cut it.
It’s important to understand:
🥨 The Cultural differences: Did you know that German CVs often include a photo? And that there is a particular format and order that Germans expect to see? Navigating these cultural nuances can feel overwhelming.
🧩 Generic won’t cut it: Other platforms offer generic solutions to craft your CV. They don’t know the nuances of making a CV tailored for the German market.
📝 Content trumps design: Germans don’t care about how beautiful your CV looks. They care about professionalism and what problems you can solve for them. Your CV has less than 5 seconds to make a good first impression.
💪 How to share accomplishments without the fluff: Germans really dislike fluffy or overselling sentences. They prefer result-driven accomplishments. Internationals often struggle with this point.

"Your template and video content have helped me land my dream job at Boeing!
I got my dream job.
For several years I have been looking for an appropriate job in Germany. I had received numerous rejections.
That was until I found your YouTube content, particularly the German-Style CV Template you created.
Using the CV Template from your website, I am now ever so pleased to inform you that a company in Germany has finally said ‘yes’ to my job application.
Your template and video content have helped me land my dream job as a Senior Project Manager at Boeing!
This template is really helpful, especially for people like myself who are non-German and looking for jobs in Germany.
I would recommend everyone who’s new to the German job-seeking market to go through all the packages at a very affordable price.
What I really like the most are the step-by-step explanations, along with examples for each. Just a few weeks ago, I updated my older CV to this new one, and I have applied to somewhere around 30 companies and have received a response from one. I’m very convinced that in a week, I might get more responses. Thanks.
