How to prepare a resume for Germany
- German applications often expect a clear reverse-chronological Lebenslauf.
- Paste the German job description (Stellenbeschreibung) and fix keyword gaps before translating.
- Keep company names and certifications readable; don’t over-translate proper nouns.
- A strong English base tailored to the JD still helps for international teams in Germany.
Recommended order: tailor to the JD, then translate to German when the market expects a Lebenslauf.
