What holds up
- 01 / 05Structure parses first.Single column, real headings, no text boxes — the layout survives every system.
- 02 / 05Reverse chronology remains default.Readers and parsers both reconstruct timelines.
- 03 / 05File naming matters.firstname-lastname-resume.pdf is read before the file opens.
- 04 / 05Consistency beats decoration.One font family, one date format, aligned everything.
- 05 / 05Export check is part of writing.The document must survive PDF, Word and print identically.
What does not
- 01 / 05Templates with photos, in the US.Photos invite discrimination-law caution and quiet discards.
- 02 / 05Two columns for machine-screened jobs.Columns are the classic parse failure.
- 03 / 05Headers holding contact info.Parsers often skip headers entirely.
- 04 / 05Icon fonts for section markers.They render as boxes elsewhere.
- 05 / 05"One page always."One page early; two pages expected with a decade of relevant history.
FAQ
Questions about this German resume example
Short answers to what people ask before they send this resume.
Use this exampleOne page or two?
One until the content genuinely requires two — usually several years of relevant history. Length should follow what you have, not what you wish you had.
Which file format should I send?
PDF unless the posting asks for Word. PDF holds the layout; Word is what some applicant tracking systems still ask for.
Do fancy templates hurt?
The ones that break parsing do: columns, tables, text boxes, images and headers containing your contact details. A plain single column survives every system.
