Finding a job in Germany

Germany's largest job markets are Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Cologne and Düsseldorf. Engineering, IT, healthcare, manufacturing, logistics and skilled trades have steady demand.

German applications are formal and complete. Employers expect a clear CV (Lebenslauf), a cover letter (Anschreiben) matched to the role, and copies of relevant certificates and references.

CV tips for Germany

  • Use a tabular, reverse-chronological Lebenslauf of one to two pages with exact month-and-year dates and no unexplained gaps.
  • A photo is common but optional; if you add one, make it a neutral professional portrait.
  • State your German level using the CEFR scale (A1–C2) and any certificate such as Goethe or TestDaF.
  • Attach degrees, work references (Arbeitszeugnisse) and certificates as a single, well-named PDF when the employer asks for them.
  • Write a specific cover letter for each application; generic letters are quickly spotted.
