Student Lebenslauf checklist

  • Add a professional photo when appropriate
  • Keep tone factual; quantify where you can

CV with little experience

What German recruiters expect from students

A German student Lebenslauf is more formal than a US resume. Put education early, include relevant Praktika, and match photo and date conventions.

  • Photo: often yes for local applications
  • Length: often ~2 pages
  • Language: German headings if the posting is German

Limited experience

Highlight coursework, projects, campus jobs, and volunteer work. Link also to our limited-experience tips, then adapt to German format.
