Passport control for your résumé
Your American résumé, stamped into a German Lebenslauf.
Germany doesn't use résumés — it uses a Lebenslauf: structured, factual, tabular, with German section headings. Yours comes back reformatted to that standard, in about a minute, without inventing a thing.

What actually changes
A German Lebenslaufisn't a translated résumé — it follows its own conventions. Here's exactly what gets stamped.

The whole journey, at a glance
The honest part
We reformat what you wrote. We never invent what you didn't.
Where a German Lebenslauf needs something only you can supply, we flag it for you to add rather than making it up — we never fabricate a profile, an employer, a qualification, a photo, or a date of birth. The facts stay yours; only the format changes. A traditional Lebenslauf sometimes carries a photo, date of birth, or even a signature. We never create those — where a convention expects data only you can supply, we flag it for you to add.
Questions
Is a Lebenslauf the same as a résumé?+
No. A German Lebenslauf is more structured and factual than a US résumé — tabular, reverse-chronological, understated in tone, with sections like Berufserfahrung (Work Experience) and Ausbildung (Education). This tool reformats a US résumé into that structure.
Will it translate my résumé into German?+
No — and this matters. It writes the section headings in German (with an English gloss) and reformats to German structure and tone, but it does not translate the content of your experience into German. Your bullet points stay in the language you wrote them.
Should I include a photo on a German CV?+
Traditionally many German CVs included a photo and date of birth; a lot of modern German firms no longer expect them. We never add a photo or date of birth you didn't provide — if you want to include them, add them yourself after downloading.
Does it use German section headings?+
Yes — headings such as Berufserfahrung (Work Experience), Ausbildung (Education), Kenntnisse (Skills) and Sprachen (Languages), each with an English gloss so it's readable either way.
