The perfect CV for specialists: tips for a convincing application

Your ticket to your dream job: the CV that impresses

In the world of work, first impressions often determine whether you are considered for your dream job. That's why your CV is your chance to stand out from the crowd and show recruiters what you have to offer at first glance.

For professionals in particular, it is important to present both technical skills and soft skills*. A well-thought-out CV can open the door to new career opportunities.

First impressions count: Structure and organization of your CV

Who are you - Your basic info

Your name, date of birth, home address, e-mail and telephone number must be clearly recognizable. But please use a reputable e-mail address, as unsuitable addresses are a common reason why CVs are not considered further. 

‍

‍Whatcan you do? - Your professional experience

Your professional experience is the centerpiece of your CV. This gives you the opportunity not only to tell what you have done, but also to present concrete successes and improvements in your work. Start with your most recent professional experience and work your way backwards. This helps to illustrate your career development.

‍

‍Whatdo you know - Your education

This is about your training and everything you can do. Special internships, courses or certificates that match your profession? Bring it on! 

This information shows that you understand your profession. You are welcome to separate training and further education into two different sections. Start with your most recent qualification. However, you do not need to state your elementary school or an unsuitable internship.

‍

What else do you bring to the table? - Your other knowledge and skills

In addition to your professional experience and training, special knowledge and skills often make the difference. 

Do you have special software skills, language skills or are you involved in voluntary work? Anything that is interesting for your career can be entered here.

‍

What makes you special? - Your personal touch

Finally, you have the opportunity to list your hobbies, interests or personal projects. These give your CV an individual touch. But be careful: Your details should also relate to the job you are applying for. 

Here is an example if you are applying as an electrician:
