Below are some resources that will help you in your job hunt in Munich.
CV, cover letter and interview
The first step to your job hunt is to have a professional looking, error-free Curriculum Vitae (lebenslauf)
and a cover letter. Make sure that you adapt your letter to highlight how you
can match what the employer is looking for. A one-size-fits-all approach is
almost guaranteed not to work.
To make your application even more accurate, below are some
tips on how to write a German CV. In Germany, applying for a job requires a bit
more documentation than in other countries. German employers want a lot of
information about a candidate even before they make their first decisions on
whom to accept for an interview, so all applications need to include:
- a cover letter
- a "Lebenslauf" (CV)
- a passport photograph
- school certificates
- testimonials of previous employment.
The German CV is a short, factual document of your key experiences and achievements
and shouldn’t be more than a page long. It should include key details like personal
information, professional experience, studies up to secondary school, studies
after secondary school, other education and miscellaneous experiences. For more
