The German CV Template — Pass the 6-Second Recruiter Scan

Your CV has 6 seconds with a German recruiter — and most international CVs fail all three checks before a human even reads them.

This is the exact CV format I teach on @anshineurope: ATS-safe single column, standard headings parsers understand, the professional photo convention German employers expect, the nationality/visa line that answers the recruiter's first silent question, and the CEFR language scale — all on one clean A4 page.

What's inside:

✅ Editable DOCX template — fill in your details in ~30 minutes

✅ Reference PDF — a filled sample showing what "good" looks like

✅ Bracketed placeholders + short hints in every section, so you never stare at a blank page

✅ Built for the German market: photo note, visa-sponsorship line, MM/YYYY dates, achievement bullets with measurable results

Who it's for: Indians and internationals applying to jobs in Germany from abroad or after relocating. If you need visa sponsorship, the template handles that line for you.
