ATS proof German CV Template (Lebenslauf)

Your CV needs to pass the ATS before its even reviewed by a recruiter. Recruiters in Germany spend less than 7 seconds on average screening a CV.

They expect a specific structure:

tabular, photo, date of birth, clean sections in the right order. Get one detail wrong and you're filtered out before a human even reads a single line.

Inside you will find :

1. Ready-to-edit Word template in proper Lebenslauf format
2. Correct section order (Berufserfahrung, Akademische Laufbahn, Kenntnisse, Sprachen)
3. Single-column, ATS-safe layout that actually parses
4. Example wording you can adapt in minutes

This is the exact structure behind my own applications at Bosch, Mercedes Benz and Porsche.

Fill in your details, export to PDF, apply. Done.
