A line-by-line reading of your Lebenslauf and Anschreiben against how German recruiters scan documents — with edits that respect local conventions without flattening your story.

How the session runs
-
Document intake
We read your materials against the posting’s stated requirements and typical German layout expectations.
-
Annotated return
You receive comments in-line plus a one-page summary of structural changes worth making first.
-
Clarifying call
We discuss trade-offs — for example, how much detail to keep on older roles — and finalize your next draft plan.
German recruiters often decide in the first page whether a Lebenslauf looks orderly, complete, and relevant. Gaps unexplained, photos handled inconsistently, or soft claims without evidence can stall a strong candidate.
This review focuses on how your documents will be read in Germany — not on importing résumé trends from other countries.
