What matters in this role

  • The Ausbildung, with the training company named. In Germany the apprenticeship is a qualification, not a first job.
  • Named software with a level: DATEV, SAP, Lexware, Microsoft 365. “Gute EDV-Kenntnisse” is not an answer.
  • The size of what you administered — headcount supported, invoices per month, travel bookings per year.
  • Which of Buchhaltung, Personal, Einkauf and Empfang you actually covered. Büromanagement means different things at different employers.

Common mistakes

  • A list of duties copied from the Ausbildungsrahmenplan instead of what this post involved.
  • Hiding a period of Arbeitssuche. Give it a row and a name — it is completely ordinary.
  • Leaving the Ausbildung off once there are a few years of experience. It stays on a German CV.
  • Software with no context: “SAP” could mean two modules or twenty.
