A German CV is not a reformatted résumé. Fill in the guided form, watch a real tabellarischer Lebenslauf build itself in the live preview, then print it or save it as a PDF. Free, private, and stored only in your browser.
Go reverse-chronological (antichronologisch): newest first.
German recruiters scan the top of each block for your current situation. Listing jobs oldest-first — or dropping dates entirely in a US-style 'skills résumé' — makes them hunt for the one thing they want to see first.
Keep it tabellarisch — a two-column table, not prose.
The tabellarischer Lebenslauf is the expected default: a date column on the left, facts on the right. A narrative 'personal statement' paragraph reads as unprofessional; that storytelling belongs in the Anschreiben (cover letter), not the CV.
Treat the photo as optional — and increasingly, leave it out.
Since the AGG anti-discrimination law (2006) a photo can't be required, and many firms now run anonymised hiring. A photo is neither expected nor forbidden. If you include one, use a professional headshot, top-right — never a casual snapshot.

Let AI turn your existing CV into a correct German format.
Name, address and contact belong at the top. Date of birth and nationality are optional — include them only if you want to.
Reverse-chronological — newest role first. Use the arrows or the sort button to keep it that way.
Also newest-first. Degree/qualification, institution, city. Add your grade only if it helps you.
Tools, technologies and methods. Separate with commas; keep it scannable.
Every language with a CEFR level (A1–C2) or Muttersprache. Never just „fließend“.
Optional — courses, certificates, integration/language courses. Great for career-changers and the newly arrived.
A signed, dated CV signals the document is complete and current — a German convention worth keeping.
