“The Lebenslauf finally looked like something a Hamburg recruiter would open without guessing my level. I still had to chase interviews myself — the documents just stopped being the weak link.”Mara K. · logistics operations · German CV rewrite
Client stories
Evidence from finished documents and real searches
These accounts mention specific consultations. Outcomes vary; we do not invent placement rates or star scores.
“They rewrote my Xing Überblick so German keywords matched the roles I wanted, without stuffing every buzzword from the posting. LinkedIn stayed consistent so recruiters checking both did not see two different stories.”Jonas R. · industrial sales · Xing/LinkedIn positioning
“The Anschreiben for the Bremen posting was tighter than what I would have written alone. I wish we had started a week earlier — the revision round ate into my application deadline.”Elena V. · quality assurance · Anschreiben drafting
“Interview prep helped me answer the career-break question without rambling. The salary framing practice felt awkward at first, but useful once the panel actually asked.”Thomas H. · facilities coordination · Interview preparation
Extended story: relocating engineer, two-language CV
A mechanical engineer moving from Spain to northern Germany arrived with a creative two-column CV and an English LinkedIn profile that listed freelance projects without clear dates. German agencies kept asking for a “standard Lebenslauf.”
We rebuilt a chronological document in English with German title mappings, added a factual line for the relocation period, and paired it with a first Anschreiben for a Mittelstand vacancy near Hamburg. Xing received a separate headline pass so open-to-work settings matched the target level.
Within three weeks the client reported agency conversations that started from the documents rather than from clarifying basics. Hiring still took time — the consultation’s job was presentation, not placement.
Extended story: mid-career switch into HR administration
A client with ten years in retail operations wanted HR administration roles in Germany but feared looking “unfocused.” The intake call narrowed the claim to payroll support and employee documentation exposure already present in store management work.
The rewrite emphasised those duties, trimmed unrelated retail metrics, and produced one Anschreiben for a corporate HR shared-services posting. The client noted the process felt stricter than expected — we declined to invent HR job titles she had not held — and later said that honesty made interview answers easier to defend.
