1. Before you apply for an English speaking job in Germany: Improve your Resume!
Writing a good CV is winning half the game. So before you rush to apply for work in Germany, you need to make sure that your CV is competitive, up-to-date and communicates your value to the company well! Research shows that your CV can make or break your chances of getting a job in Germany so it’s very important that you invest a proper amount of time to polishing up your CV. It's imperative that you strike a healthy balance: don’t skimp on the important details but don’t turn it into your award-winning autobiographical novel!
Here are the answers to some FAQ’s about CV writing in Germany:
- What is a resume? A resume is a document that represents your value to your future employer in the form of a summary of all of your professional experiences, skills and abilities.
- What is a CV? CV means curriculum vitae, which a Latin term for "courses of life".
- What is the difference between CV and resume? There is no difference. Both terms refer to the same thing.
- What is a resume called in Germany? Lebenslauf.
- How long should a resume be? Your resume should be 1-2 pages long (however, most employers prefer 1 page length). Make sure your resume is not overloaded with information – leave some white space for easy scanning.
- What fonts are best for resume? The standard is Times New Roman, Calibri or Arial.
- What font size is best for resume? No smaller than size 12.
- How to name a resume? Use following format to save your file: Last Name_First Name_Resume.pdf

- How to structure a CV? Germans follow a strict CV structure. Start with work experience, then move on to internships, volunteering and academic experience in that order. Save your skills and abilities for last. Each section should be structured in a chronological way, from most recent to least recent.
Those are just the very basics of CV writing. If you want your CV to be successful in Germany, it needs to be very high quality.
Luckily for you, I know some CV writing tips for German market!
- Last Name and First Name,

2. Resume details are important: photo, references and recommendation are a must!
I think this goes without saying: details are very important! Germans are very detail-oriented and will notice immediately if you haven’t put enough work into your job application. If you are smart, you will invest time into polishing the key details of your CV because they are what will separate you from other job applicants also looking for a job in Germany.
The best pro tip for a successful CV in Germany: get your photo done professionally!
Example of a professional photo: Example of an unprofessional photo:
Your CV picture should be located on the top of the first page, either on the left or right side. Get a professional CV photo, stay away from old photos or bad quality shots that your friends took – they just won’t do! You might want to invest in a high quality resume photo to help you shine and look your best - a person that German companies would want to employ! Head to your local photo center or try a photo booth.
Some important details in a good resume picture are:
- A confident smile,
- White teeth,
- Clean and professional hair style,
- Formal clothing,
- For men: a shaved face.
- For ladies: natural look with little make-up.
These key details will help you achieve an overall well put-together look and put a confident face to the name on your resume.
Other important details when applying for a job in Germany are:
- References: Prepare a separate file with a list of professional references to strengthen your CV (be sure to ask permission first)!
- Recommendations: Collect 2-3 strong recommendation letters from your past employers to support your job application.
- Design: Don’t be afraid to style-up your resume with a professional design or even download a pre-made template off the internet (just don’t overdo it – play it safe!).

3. Your future German boss will Google you: tips to clean up your social media disasters!
We all want to look presentable and, most of all, employable to our future boss. While we may spend a lot of time improving our resumes and photos, few of us may think to clean up some social media disasters that may pop up when your employer decides to Google you or look you up on social media. This is a standard procedure to recruiting as it helps the company quickly discard some bad apples that may bring a bad image to the company.
Here is a handy-dandy cheat sheet to help you make a good impression on your German employer:
- LinkedIn – it’s one of the most popular professional networking websites on the market and best of all – it’s absolutely free! Think of it as your second resume. Create an account if you don’t have one already and be sure to update it regularly! Build professional networks, present yourself professionally and you might get noticed!
- Facebook – don't let it ruin your image - stick to classy photos and background and be sure to clean up all questionable posts, shares and media uploads. You want to look grown up and professional even in Facebook, so get rid of all information that might influence your boss to change his mind about hiring you.
- Other social media sites – this includes Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. They should not diminish your integrity and reliability in the eyes of your future boss and colleagues. Trust us, it’s better not to have any social media profiles than to have bad ones.

5. How to sell yourself in Germany: Recommendations to help you polish your cover letter!
Your cover letter should be written with confidence and determination - it's your selling pitch to the employer! Present yourself in the best light possible, focus on your best qualities and skills and skip unnecessary details that don’t help you get the job. This point is key: reveal only the information that is relevant to the job you are applying to, including academic, professional, volunteering and extracurricular activities (like clubs you are a part of or conferences you attended)!
IMPORTANT: German cover letters are formal, they should not be written in a casual style!
Here are the answers to some FAQ’s about cover letters in Germany:
- What is a cover letter? A cover letter is a document that contains a short introduction of your professional and academic competences and complements your CV.
- What is a motivational letter? A motivational letter is a document that expresses your motivation for the job you are applying.
- Cover letter vs. Motivational letter: what is the difference? There is no difference, they are the same exact thing.
- How long should the cover letter be? Limit your cover letter to 1 page maximum.
- What font is best for cover letter? Stick to Times New Roman, Calibri or Arial. It should match your resume!
- What font size is best for cover letter? No smaller than size 12. It should be the same as your resume.
- What is the structure of a cover letter?
- 1st paragraph (1-2 sentences): state the purpose of writing your cover letter – identify which position you are applying, in which company and where is it located.
- 2nd paragraph (3-6 sentences): introduce yourself, state your name, where are you from, what university/college you attended, what major you studied, what have you learnt, what jobs have you worked and in which companies, etc.
- 3rd paragraph (3-4 sentences): state how your previous experience has helped prepare you for the job – mention skills, abilities and experiences that you acquired during your career and studies and how will they help you fulfil your duties.
- 4th paragraph (3-4 sentences): describe your personality, work ethic, philosophy and any other skills that aren’t directly related to the work (languages, for example).
- 5th paragraph (1-2 sentences): thank the reader for their time and consideration and state that you are very eager to hear from them in the near future. End on a positive note, don't sound needy.
Here is a helpful guide to how to write the best motivational letter for work in Germany:
- Put your contact information at the top of the cover letter,
- Personalize your cover letter to the company,
- Space out your paragraphs,
- Stick to the same overall design as your resume (font, size, etc.),
- Write confidently and positively,
- Do not abbreviate words,
- Be formal but also personable and warm.
Top 5 worst mistakes to make in your cover letter:
- Unprofessional E-mail - Please do not use something like crazybunny69@yahoo.com. Create a professional-sounding email on google.com with a form of your name, for example: tomschmit@gmail.com. Employers won't even open emails that are sent from suspicious-sounding sources, so keep this in mind when forwarding your job application!
- Spelling Mistakes - Before you send off your job application, be sure to check your cover letter and resume for spelling and grammar mistakes! These are a big no-no when applying for work so take an extra minute or two to scan your application for errors.
- Unprofessionalism - When applying for a position in Germany, you need to maintain a degree of respect and professionalism. Phrases such as “call me”, “please hire me” or “I need this job” will get your application thrown out.
- Lack of Structure - We provide a template for a reason – structure is very crucial in your cover letter! Germans have a keen eye for structure and appreciate a well-structured cover letter. Follow the cover letter structure closely for best results.
- Copy-pasted text - We stress the importance of personalizing your cover letter – appeal to the company by researching its goals, mission and vision and adjust your cover letter to resound them. Don't copy other people's cover letters because it will hurt you if the employer catches you!

6. How to contact German employer – e-mail, catchy introduction and what to include!
Contacting the employer to submit your job application is a crucial step. You spent a lot of time preparing for this moment: your resume is superb, your cover letter is polished and you are feeling confident! Before you send off your application, it is wise to give it a second look!
What do you need to include in your job application?
- Resume,
- Cover Letter,
- Additional:
- Recommendation letters,
- List of references.
- Example of your work,
- Other important documents (visa, work permit, etc.).
5 important things to consider before you send your job application:
- Do you have a professional e-mail already? If not, go create one.
- Did you check your resume and cover letter for spelling mistakes? If not, do so now.
- Is your text and photo professional? If not, take some extra time to invest in a more professional look.
- Are all of your documents saved in a .pdf format? If not, follow these instructions in Microsoft Word: Click on File>Save as>Save as type>PDF.

7. Interview Hacks to land the job in Germany
Interviews can be stressful and nerve-wrecking, but if you landed one, you can be sure that your resume and cover letter impressed the company. So there is definitely something to be confident about!
Whether it’s a real live interview or an online interview over skype, there are some key things to remember:
- Punctuality – being late on your interview can ruin your chances of getting the job. It’s better to come early than come late!
- Dress code – dress formally and uphold a professional look. Do not wear exuberant accessories or overdone makeup and hair. Be modest and conservative with your look.
- Posture – sit straight, shoulders pushed back, don’t slouch like you’re at home on the couch.
- Preparedness – this means researching the company beforehand: when was it founded, by who, who is the current president, what services/products it deals in, what is its mission, vision and objectives, etc.
- Remember names – note the names of the interviewers and try to remember them for future reference.
Top 3 things that are crucial for a live interview:
- Handshake – firm but not bone crushing. Shake hands upon arriving and before leaving.
- Eye contact – being able to keep eye contact during the interview is very important to create an aura of confidence and trustworthiness.
- Resume – bring extra copies to the interview to give out. Make sure your resume is available in both English and German versions.
P.S. if you are doing an interview through Skype – remember to look at the camera, not yourself and don't forget to wear pants!
8. Job application in Germany: when to contact the company and when to wait!
Here are the smart steps to take after completing your job interview:
- First contact – call or write to your company in 1-2 days after the interview.
- Mention the names of the people you met during your interview and visit at the company - thank them for their time and let them know you were very excited to meet them and that it was a wonderful experience.
- Let them know they can contact you if they need any additional information, or documents, like a reference list or a recommendation and that you will be happy to supply these documents for them.
- DO NOT ask for an update on the application process! The purpose of this contact is to remind them of you, not give them additional work.
- After a decision – write or call the company after the decision has been made.
- Thank them for their consideration regardless of whether they accepted you or not.
- If you got accepted – ask for details about your first day at the job (when you start, what time you need to be there, what you need to bring, etc.)
- If you got rejected – stay cool and confident, wish them well.
9. Useful business communication tips for work in Germany
If you have secured a job – congratulations! But before you jump into working, you need to learn the intricacies of German business communication in order to be able to communicate effectively within the company and build lasting relationships with your boss and collegues. Every culture is different and the German business culture has specific phrases, body language and norms that make their communication unique. Master them and you will avoid many uncomfortable situations!
- Greetings - In Germany, greetings are formal. Greet people with a firm and professional handshake.
- Introductions - Wait to be introduced to a group of people.
- Respect authority - use titles when addressing people: use Herr (Mr) and Frau (Mrs) and then their last name.
- Business Meetings - meetings are scheduled in advance, follow a strict format and are quite formal.
- Don’t be overly friendly – Germans don’t need personal friendships to work together effectively.
- Office manners - If you want to enter someone’s office – knock and wait to be invited.
- Punctuality - being on time is absolutely crucial – both for work and meetings.
- Gesturing - Tapping knuckles on the table is a sign of approval at the end of a meeting.
- Rules and structure – German business culture follows stick hierarchy and rules so it’s important that you respect it, even if it seems too bureaucratic.
- Directness – Germans don’t like small talk, so stick to the business and don’t be surprised with their blunt and direct manner of communication.

My name is Noemie, I am 27 years old, and I live in Europe. I am Belgian and French, and I am bilingual in English and French,Yo puedo hablar en espanol and ‘Wǒ zhèngzài xuéxí zhōngwén’ and я учу русский язык.
I love trying to understand the world and its mysteries through history, culture, philosophy, politics, arts and above all through traveling. Indeed, traveling is my job as I am a documentary photographer, this is why I know how crucial it is to acquire the ability to speak English. It is a gateway to deepening our self-understanding, to widening our professional horizons, and a bridge towards understanding people from all around the world.
My teaching adventure started three years ago when I decided to tour the world seeking for new adventures and new horizons to deepen my understanding of this world. Since then, I have been a TEFL certified English teacher both online and in real life. I've had the chance to teach children and adults from all around the world, in Russia, China, Vietnam and France.
This experience helped me developed my capacity to teach English to all, whether you are Chinese, Russian, Spanish, Italian, French, … language isn’t a barrier for me. Cultural exchange is my passion and if need be I will get to learn the key sentences in your language to ease the communication during our classes. I will adapt my teaching style to your learning style.
I will use what works for you to improve your comprehension skills, writing skills and pronunciation too, whether it is reading books, articles, poems and studying them, or engaging in conversation, working from a textbook, watching movies, exploring new sets of vocabularies, or practicing tongue twisters. I will tailor the class according to your level and your learning style and will provide you with the material to do so.
I used to be an actress working in Paris, so I know a lot about charisma and creating presence. With me, you will gain confidence in your oral expression, just like an actor.
Remember that I used to be where you are, trying to learn a new language, so I totally understand how overwhelming it can be. I also have plenty of tips to help you develop your learning process in your daily life.
As a learner of many languages, and a theatre studies graduate,
I have been exposed to various learning techniques, leading me to develop my own approach to education which doesn’t only makes me an English teacher but also a coach.
I believe that the secret of a good class lies in the complicity between the teacher and the student which is why a friendly environment, a set of good activities and a good laugh is my unique recipe for learning English.
My job is accomplished when you are able to speak English—it doesn’t matter how many mistakes you make: as long as you have the motivation, the rest will follow.
I’m here to help you!
If you are interested, send me a message and let’s start the journey!

German was my key to the world of possibilities and that's why I want to support you on your language path. German was my main focus in my bachelor's degree in Interpreting and Translation and then I completed my master's degree in intercultural German Studies and German as a Foreign Language. My additional education as an Intercultural Trainer and my practical experience from several international language institutes add value to my German lessons that you can benefit from: Only your focus decides - preparation for a language exam or studies, help with various documents and written works or your wish to improve your German in a communicative way. I would very much like to get to know you in a free trial lesson, so that we can discuss your wishes and requirements and prepare the lessons so that they bring you closer to your goal. And all of this from an intercultural perspective and with my personal experience, because I know your own perspective as well as the challenges that language learning brings with it. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Veronika is a very well prepared young teacher, friendly and professional. Her teaching method adapted perfectly to my needs and requirements. Through conversation lessons she helped me gain confidence in my spoken German. I highly recommend her for new starters as well as for students who already have some basic knowledge of German.

Hallo :) I'm a German language teacher with a Bachelor and Master degree in German and with many years of teaching experience.
I was born and lived in Switzerland for many years and grew up in a bilingual family, because of that I speak German, Swiss German, Croatian and English :)
- ABOUT THE CLASS -
I offer German language lessons for A1, A2, B1, B2 level and they include everything you need: grammar, speaking, listening audio, reading, writing and for some fun: games and role plays :)
This is ideal for students who want actively participate and speak more, learn new words and exercise the grammar.
All learning materials and exercises are included and will be provided during the lesson.
The learning material is from various books: Schritte International, Menschen, Sicher im Alltag und Beruf, Begegnungen, ....
If you wish to have only conversational lessons, I can arrange this also for you (only available for B1 and B2 level).
* IMPORTANT: coLanguage shows only my general availability, if you want to book a lesson, please sent me a message with your availability and language level, and I will contact you as soon as possible with more informations :)
she is very flexible about rescheduling the classes. she gives a lot of exercises that fit my level and make sure to correct me if I miss pronouncing some words or have difficulty to read them.

Learning a foreign language is a beautiful and awe-inspiring journey which is not strange to me.
Growing in Europe and living in Canada has shaped my thinking abilities to see beyond the surface of individual’s potential to study. It remodeled my senses in a special way to be able to respond with tact and compassion to the needs of my students. In the same time it taught me the value of persistence and creativity. These abilities have helped me to master the art of teaching. Every student makes me a better friend, family member and a person.
So far, I've helped different age groups to converse freely, to read, understand and love both English and Bulgarian. Beside that, my students not just improve their grades at school. Some of them became English teachers themselves.
No two students are exactly alike. That's why I mostly use personalized learning method. It builds a learning experience that addresses the unique abilities of each student.
Another method of teaching that I use is Learning by experiment. In that way students learn by doing. I create experiences for them to see the concepts in action. I found out that students tend to remember better when they see and then discuss what they learn from what they saw.
Beside these methods you will enjoy Modeling, Mistakes, Feedback and one of my top methods: Lesson Objective Transparency. When I clearly state my lesson goals and write it on the board, then you will feel relax because you will know what you are working towards.
Please, be assured you won’t regret giving me the opportunity to help you!

Didi B.
Hello everyone and a big warm welcome to all the fellow language learners,
My name is Katerina, I’m a native Russian speaker and a foreign language teacher from St Petersburg, Russia. I’ve always been addicted to learning foreign languages, be it English, German, Spanish, Turkish or Arabic, so turning my passion into my job was just a matter of time. I have a Master’s degree in linguistics which taught me to understand the way the mechanism of a language works and thus to help my students see the logics behind the grammar rules. Being a constant language learner enables me to see the process from both sides and to predict the difficulties my students might face. The fact that I’m not a native speaker of English or German means I’ve been through exactly the same language-learning journey you’re about to take, and thanks to my personal experience as a student, I can make this road smooth for you.
I've had students of all ages, from pre-school kids to senior generation, and I feel comfortable working with both beginners and those who are eager to take their learning process to a new level. In my classes I encourage you to talk in the language we’re studying as much as possible, putting every single bit of knowledge into practice right away. If you’re a Russian-learner, I’d be glad to prove it to you that you can absolutely nail my mother-tongue - and yes, you’ll be able to make a small talk in Russian by the end of the first class even if you’re an absolute beginner! We’ll be focusing on the topics that are most relevant to your goals, while discovering the language and getting to know more about the culture of people who speak it.
I offer a short free trial class, for us to give each other a smile and discuss our teaching pattern, in order to ajust it to your goals and make our lessons the bee's knees :) See you soon!

Katerina is a very flexible teacher makes the effort of adapting the contents of the lessons to my needs

The best way to learn a new language is through natural interaction. And I believe that you learn most effectively when you feel at ease and when you are having fun!
You will see that each class is individually adapted to your personal learning style and that you can improve at your optimal level because you will always be challenged but never overwhelmed.
I am an enthusiastic language learner myself and know the importance of a fun and knowledgeable teacher. Because I enjoyed learning with great teachers so much, I'm committed to being that for you in every class as well.
With this German class, you will get
• a very competent, patient, and fun tutor with years of experience
• a very supportive environment
• as many opportunities as possible to actually speak German, reflect on it, and improve
• efficient tools and homework
• heaps of video material as well as many exercises to help you practice all aspects of the German language
• and you will see how manageable the German grammar actually is!
Of course, you can adjust the classes to whatever you consider to be most relevant for you!
If you like my approach and want to improve your German, write me a message or book a lesson with me! I would love to help you with your German
You can start right away at any level!
I am professionally certified by the Goethe Institut with the highest mark possible. Through all these years of teaching in different formats and different countries, I have collected a huge amount of experience, and feedback and improved my lessons. I never stop learning and adapting my teaching methods to nowadays strategies and advanced thinking

I have 15 years experience teaching students at University level and more recently I started teaching English on-line to all age groups. As part of my community service, I do volunteer English teaching to underprivileged students in Myanmar which I find hugely rewarding.
My classes focus on conversational English, in other words - we talk and read a lot, we make mistakes and correct them, we focus on pronunciation and correct sentence construction and have fun while learning and practising your English. My number one priority is always to focus on addressing your specific needs and problem areas.
Learning to speak a new language is more than just acquiring new words and the sentences, it is also about getting the confidence to use it. This confidence will come from using the language in a friendly, safe and non-judgemental environment - and that is what I offer you.
I believe I am very friendly, easy to get along with, and extremely patient.
Teaching English to me is a passion and not a job. I am super excited to share this learning journey with you.

Hello,
my name is Nina, I'm from Austria and I also lived for one year and a half in Canada. I worked there as a German Teacher for adults, so I speak German, English and French.
I also teach English for beginners and advanced beginners.
My teaching methodes are totally based on the level of my student. If somebody is already advanced, I focus on communication and pronunciation. We will arrange on a topic and talk and discuss in the lesson about it.
If my student is a beginner, I'm gonna start with the basics of the German language. (the articles, the verb "to be", the pronouns...)
The learning material is all made by myself, because I'm a German teacher, so that means, I already got lots of working sheets for many topics. I send these to my student via e-mail or put it directly on the coLanguage homepage.
I'm available from Monday to Thursday between 5pm and 08:00 pm. For the weekend it's the best to just send me a request.
Of course is a free trial lesson (it's about 20 minutes) possible.
I'm happy to teach you :-)
See you soon! Nina

Mihaela has helped me along with improving my german language skills over the past nine months with great success. She has a clear structured approach but constantly adapts the lessons to your needs and interests to keep you motivated. During the lessons, she consistently adds vocabulary to the discussion, meaning that you are always learning more without the feeling of being overwhelmed with information. She is also very flexible with bookings. I can positively recommend learning german with Mihaela.

I'm learning German with Belinda (currently B1) and I am trying to do a final push, so i can finally start speaking. Classes are very well prepared and structured. The book/ books used in the class have exercises that actually make your brain work and are not always easy to do ( this is for people who had experience with easy and boring grammar materials). We play dialogues, we have conversations through which the teacher understands where I am with my level and is trying to make adjustments to the program. And there's a lot of homework (when you ask for it) !!! : )
