Ich bereite meinen Lebenslauf vor, wenn ich meinen Chancenkarte bekomme, aber ich habe keine Erfahrung mit dem deutschen Lebenslaufstil. Können Sie mir bitte Tipps oder Ratschläge geben, wie Sie meinen Lebenslauf für den deutschen Arbeitsmarkt optimieren können? Ich bin mir bewusst, dass meine deutschen Sprachkenntnisse nicht dort sind, wo sie sein müssen. Ich studiere derzeit, um mindestens B2 zu erreichen. Ich habe meine Freiwilligenerfahrung nicht aufgenommen … ist das etwas, das ich hinzufügen sollte? Mir wurde gesagt, ich solle meinen Lebenslauf auf 1 Seite lang halten. Dank im Voraus.

No advice on the CV, but since I have a biology background and a friend with a PhD has recently had to look for a new job: good luck with your job search. Please be aware that the job market for biologists is incredibly tough right now and you’ll be competing with MSc and PhD grads who are native German speakers.
Being flexible on location within Germany might help. Other than that, be prepared to cast your net very wide.
Too much clutter in single page. It should be 30 percent empty. Make it 2 pager if needed and put low priority info in second page. Change sentence structure to make it concise.
I’d use a more professional headshot, not a travel picture.
If you want to include a photo change it to a more professional looking one. This one gives vacation photo, not perfect employee.
Also do you already have job leads? No offense, but a bachelor’s degree in biology and no marketable German skills will be super tough. The job market for biology/chemistry graduates is notoriously tough, usually a PhD is kinda expected if you want to stay in this field. Just something to keep in mind before you waste your savings on a long job hunt in Germany.
Adjust the cv for the jobs you are applying for. If you want to work in biology, don’t waste your space telling someone about your retail experience, that’s not relevant. It might demonstrate your skills, but then cut that massively.
A bit of empty space does no harm and is visually more accessible. You dont need to report everything you ever did – design the cv for the position you apply for and cut fluff out that’s not relevant – you can leave in stuff that’s dear to you, but then rather hint at it and leave space for people asking you about it. That’s how your additional info that’s not super relevant for the job can become part of a conversation without giving someone the minutes of your life.
