Many of you ask me: Should I send my CV in English or in German?
The answer is: it depends!
Job offer in English
Case 1: If the job offer is in English, it is usually fine to send your CV in English.
Case 2: However, if the job offer requires fluency in German and "only" a good knowledge of English, I recommend sending your CV in German, as long as the company is German!
Case 3: If the job offer says: "fluent English, advanced German", then I advise you to send your CV in English.
Job offer in German
Case 1: If the job offer is in German but the working language is English, I also recommend sending your CV in English.
Case 2: The job offer is in German, the working language is indicated as German → logically, the CV is sent in German.
Please note that you should also adapt the motivation letter accordingly.
