Lebenslauf nach deutschem Standard

German CVs have their own rules: 1. Tabular format, max 2 pages, reverse chronological. 2. Photo optional but common — professional. 3. Personal data: name, address, phone, email. Birth date optional now. 4. Experience: company, position, period, 2-3 key tasks. 5. Education, languages (honest A1-C2), IT skills. 6. Signature and date at the end — many employers expect it. 7. Cover letter: 1 page, specific to the job. 8. PDF, filename: Lastname_CV.pdf.
