Define the target role first
Prioritise experience relevant to the role. Make job titles, dates and tools easy to find. Describe your actual work, without adding responsibilities or technologies you have not used.
Show your contribution with examples
Explain your task, responsibility and result. Use numbers only when you can support them. Keep language levels and certificates current and resolve inconsistent dates before sending.
Check the final file
Check email and phone details. Open the PDF on another device and check selectable text and page layout. Use a descriptive filename. In IsteGit, upload PDF or DOCX and review the extracted profile before confirming it.
Which headings can you use in a German CV?
Use clear headings such as Berufserfahrung (experience), Ausbildung (education), Kenntnisse (skills) and Sprachkenntnisse (languages). For each role, provide month/year, employer, position and relevant responsibilities. Starting with the most recent role makes your current level easier to find. Preserve the original qualification name when translating; do not imply official recognition.
