Is there any truth to the claim that CVs in Germany must adhere to the Lebenslauf form or they'll be thrown out (if applying to Berlin startups?) http://www.th

- kybernetyk 10y agoNot that I know of. I mean if you're trying to get a job at some big corporation/old industry that just needs a programmer for their IT department then probably. But my programmer peers all got their jobs without jumping through CV hoops, etc. here in Germany. They all work for more "modern" companies than European old money though.
- smnscu 10y agoI hired for a German startup, and got hired a couple of times. I've never seen a Europass CV, and I think most people here would find that weird/funny.
- Radiant 10y agoA friend who works in Germany told me that recruiters in his company discard all CVs that use Europass template.
- SyneRyder 10y agoOh wow, that's very helpful to know. Thank you!
- lis 10y agoI'm recruiting at one of Germany's largest companies. I didn't use the standard format when applying and nobody cared, neither do I care when I see an application. The latest person I hired didn't follow any standard at all :) But to be honest - best way to get hired is still through your network.
