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

- What file format to use for a CV? Write your resume in Microsoft Word and save it in .pdf format to make sure it does not get disfigured when viewed by your future employer.
- 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,
- Nationality (specify if you are from a non-EU country),

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.
4. Top 10 Best sources to find an English-speaking work in Germany!

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.

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.

I am a fun, enthusiastic and creative individual who has over 10 years of experience in teaching .I have taught in various parts of the world, South Africa, Thailand, Columbia, Peru, Europe and UK just to name a few. I have taught both children and adults. I am passionate about teaching and find inspiration in witnessing the growth students experience within my online classes.
I feel that my experience as an au-pair, home school teacher as well as home-room teacher at various schools and online has taught me the value of improvising, taking initiative and empowering young individuals to enable each child within my care to feel inspired and to know their own unique and individual strengths. I feel that my training in psychology is truly something that has helped with every individual I have worked with. My biggest commitment as a teacher is to teach children and adults to know their worth and to instill confidence within each individual, so that they are able to realize their potential and feel encouraged to learn more.
I have found myself wishing to broaden my experience in teaching and I am currently in the position where I’m looking for new challenges in the field, and ultimately self-development. I feel that teaching online is the perfect position that will allow me to contribute to the lives of students I teach and something that will bring a great amount of reward in my life as well as that of the individuals I teach.

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!

Ekaterina writes new words and sentences learnt during the lesson. She has got a very nice attitude and great accent! A pleasure to work with... yes, even in German!!!!!

Despite being a non native English speaker; I happen to have native level proficiency in aspects of English language and am very passionate about helping students achieve their goals and aspirations in life via use of exclusive and result orientated lesson that have allowed me to achieve my level of skills in English Language. Lastly, owing to my diversified professional back ground, I also provide consultation services with regards to motivation and self improvement and help individuals gain self confidence and to think objectively.

I offer lessons for beginners as well as for advanced speakers. I carry out different kinds of lessons: I could help you for example to prepare for a test, for your trip to Italy or for more advanced needs.

The lesson was perfectly geared to my needs. As my requirement for learning does not fit easily in any 'set course' or classroom situation, this individual approach, looking at what I need and then providing it, suits me very well indeed. I am very happy with the way in which the teaching / learning experience is going so far and would certainly recommend Niccoló.
Niccolò C.
Hello,
my name is Veronika and I am a student in Florence at the academy of fine arts. I have been in Italy for three years and I really like the Italian language. In school i learned english and during journeys i used to speak a lot of english so i'm also able to teach in english.
I am from Germany so I am a German native speaker. I have already taught German to some of my friends and would love to teach my language to more people as well. At the beginning I would like to do grammar lessons and the most used words to deepen the basic knowledge of the language. Then I will continue to have conversations in German to increase vocabulary and to give confidence in dialogue and in any case in speaking the language in real scenarios. The most important thing by learning a new language is to learn it through hearing and speaking. Being difficult at first to formulate sentences will then become easier and easier and thus you arrive at a fluent and confident way to speak the new language.
For myself I learned Italian three years ago with this method so I also know what it is like to learn a language and I can help you with my teaching to learn German that way.
I can not wait to start!
greetings Veronika
B. L.
My experience with Veronika as a teacher was and still is really good. In order to reach my goals, she has setup a structured schedule and has provided good learning material. Due to my work, I had to reschedule some of my lessons and she always showed understanding in this regards. She is very friendly and easy to talk to. I can only recommend her!

Hello =)
My name is Karolin and since the beginning of 2017, while I was still living in Chile, I've been giving online classes. I really enjoy my work and it gives me the privilage to get to know people from all around the world, which is amazing.
Both in English and in German, I teach classes for beginners and advanced students. I speak Spanish fluently, but as I lived in Chile for around 5 years, both my pronounciation and my choice of words are influenced by that. I learned and teach the european Spanish but only for beginners (A1/A2). But if you don't mind the chilenean influence, I do teach to a higher level as well.
If you'd like to get to know me and my teaching methods, just contact me and we will do a free trial lesson (please do NOT by a lesson before the trial lesson, not every teacher is good for every student).
See you soon!

Karolin is a fantastic teacher! She is very well organized, precise and punctual. She always knows how to explain the German grammar rules to make them clear and easier to remember. The lessons time with her is flying and I always look forward to the next one. Highly recommended.

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!

My experience with Melanie has been very positive, Melanie is a very qualified teacher and you can tell that from the beginning: very professional, very good methodology, diversity in material, etc. A real one on one experience as she focused together with learning of language in identification and correction of student weaknesses. My kid is engaged with her classes as he says are useful and fun, his progress in learning German has been noticed by all. I also like her flexibility to have classes during the weekends, that is a great emergency door. I am happy !! Highly recommended!!!

I am French living in Lisbon in Portugal. I have lived in different countries such as England, the United States and India. It gave me some experience of learning a foreign language and teaching it.
I am passionate about different cultures and try to share my love for French culture with you in a lively way.
I adapt to the needs of the students, whether to improve their oral, written, prepare for an exam or a job interview. I prioritize the conversation to allow the student to "unblock" and have fun speaking the language. I write down the vocabulary and grammar that the student lacks to express himself.
Learning a foreign language is, in my view, above all through cultural curiosity. We want to learn a language because we want to live in the country, travel there or get to know it better. We feel attracted. It is its Culture that motivates us in our learning: music, film, text, literature, way of being and cultural differences forming "another world". This means that learning is not just about learning a list of words and grammar lessons, as is taught too often in school. Practice again and again through conversation, books, music, movies and above all the pleasure of speaking and listening.
I adapt the student's personal work according to their available time and their objective (conversation, deadline for an exam, scheduled trip, etc.).
I am at your disposal for any further information.
See you soon,
