Tips for German job applications
- German employers often expect a clear Lebenslauf structure with education and employment in reverse chronological order.
- Match the German job description (Stellenbeschreibung) before translating so skills and keywords survive localization.
- Keep company names, product names, and certifications readable — don’t over-translate proper nouns.
- Use formal wording in German professional resumes; avoid casual phrasing from a literal machine translation.
Best results come from matching the job description first, then translating the tailored version into German.
