What matters in this role

  • One page. For an Ausbildung application there is nothing that justifies a second.
  • Praktika are the experience section, with the company, the dates and what you actually did there.
  • Your two or three strongest subjects, and only if they relate to the Ausbildung.
  • Anything that shows reliability outside school: a Nebenjob, a sports club role, Jugendfeuerwehr, volunteering.

Common mistakes

  • Padding to two pages with hobbies. A short, complete page is stronger than a long, thin one.
  • An email address made up years ago for something else. Make a plain one with your name in it.
  • Listing every school year separately. School is one entry with a start and an end.
  • No date and no signature. On an Ausbildung application this is noticed more, not less.
