Frequently asked questions

Does a German CV need a photo?

No. Since the German anti-discrimination act (AGG) a photo is optional; many applicants still add a professional one.

Is the CV builder really free?

Yes – no account, no watermark and no payment when downloading. If it helped you, you can support us voluntarily.

How long should a CV be?

Usually one to two pages. List the most recent positions first (reverse chronological order).
