Maybe some of you might be in the situation to make an application for a job in Germany. Therefore I thought on helping you a little.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what does an application look like in Germany? Well, the answer is not that simple. It totally depends on the branch of trade you\u00b4re working for and, of course, the company that you are going to contact. If you want to work in an artistic profession for example, it would be advisable to enrich your application with examples and references of what you already did in the past. If you want to work in a factory, a curriculum vitae and a cover letter should be enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

I personally work as a project manager, so my application would also consist of customers or brands I worked for, projects that I have been responsible for and so on.<\/span><\/p>\n

But one thing is needed in almost every application: The curriculum vitae.<\/span><\/p>\n

So here\u00b4s a little manual how to arrange a \u201eLebenslauf\u201c in table form in Germany (though there\u00b4s no absolute standard, you can vary if you want!):<\/span><\/p>\n

Lebenslauf Max Mustermann<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\nThe following bullets are just examples. Depending on your career, you have to texture them differently. But it\u00b4s adisable not to name only periods but also fields of activity and experiences. <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
