Free CV check for Germany
Score your CV against Germany's hiring norms: length, photo, personal details, date format and application language — with concrete fixes and no account needed.
Quick answer
In Germany a CV normally runs to 2 pages, a photo is common, personal details are expected, dates are written as MM/YYYY – MM/YYYY, and applications are written in German or English. The check measures your CV against exactly those rules.
Your CV is read on this device. Nothing is uploaded, stored or sent to an AI model for the score.
Get your fixes by email
A recap of your result, the one fix that matters most, and what changes when you tailor per application. Three emails, no drip forever.
We store your address in the EU, use it only for these emails, and delete it on request.
What employers in Germany expect
- — Reverse-chronological Lebenslauf
- — Place and date
- — Certificates referenced as attachments
What gets CVs binned
- — Unexplained gaps. Account for every period, even briefly.
- — Skipping references to formal qualifications — German employers weight certified credentials heavily.
- — Sending a CV alone when the posting asks for vollständige Bewerbungsunterlagen.
- — Overclaiming language level. Use CEFR levels (B2, C1) honestly.
