What to check for Germany

Check the requested language, whether a photo is expected, and how the employer wants qualifications and work authorization presented.

Language and qualifications

Use the language requested by the vacancy and describe qualifications accurately. If you provide a translation, keep the original qualification name available for verification.

Export and readability

Use selectable text, ordinary headings and a logical reading order. Check the final PDF with Appliora's ATS checker as a diagnostic, not as a hiring guarantee.
