J'ai adoré la façon dont le cours décompose chaque section du CV allemand, du Lebenslauf jusqu'à la photo et les dates. Les explications sur l'Anschreiben m'ont vraiment aidée à structurer mes arguments sans tourner autour du pot. J'ai postulé la semaine suivante et j'ai eu deux réponses positives.

Курс подробно объясняет, как правильно составить немецкое резюме (Lebenslauf) и сопроводительное письмо (Anschreiben) по всем местным стандартам. Понравилось, что показывают реальные примеры и разбирают частые ошибки иностранцев. Единственное — хотелось бы больше материала про технические вакансии.
Really clear breakdown of how to format a Lebenslauf the German way, though I wish there was a bit more on writing for creative industries.
Akhirnya saya faham format Lebenslauf yang betul untuk pasaran kerja Jerman, cuma mahukan lebih contoh surat iringan.
This walked me through every part of a German Lebenslauf so clearly that I finally understand why my old CV was getting ignored.
জার্মানিতে চাকরি খোঁজার সময় Lebenslauf আর Anschreiben নিয়ে আমার অনেক দ্বিধা ছিল, এই কোর্সটা সেই সব ভয় দূর করে দিয়েছে। প্রতিটা ধাপ এত পরিষ্কারভাবে বোঝানো হয়েছে যে আমি নিজেই একটা প্রফেশনাল সিভি বানিয়ে ফেললাম। জার্মান কোম্পানিগুলো ঠিক কী ধরনের ফরম্যাট পছন্দ করে সেটাও উদাহরণ দিয়ে দেখানো হয়েছে। কভার লেটার লেখার সময় কোন কোন বাক্য এড়িয়ে চলা উচিত সেই টিপসগুলো আমার কাছে সবচেয়ে বেশি কাজে লেগেছে। শেখানোর ধরনটাও খুব ধীরে ধীরে আর গোছানো, তাড়াহুড়ো মনে হয়নি কোথাও। এখন আবেদন পাঠানোর আগে অনেক বেশি আত্মবিশ্বাসী লাগছে।
Der Kurs erklärt Schritt für Schritt, wie man einen überzeugenden Lebenslauf und ein Anschreiben schreibt, das wirklich zur deutschen Bewerbungskultur passt.
Khóa học hướng dẫn rất chi tiết cách viết Lebenslauf và Anschreiben theo đúng chuẩn của nhà tuyển dụng Đức. Mình thích nhất là phần phân tích các lỗi thường gặp của người nước ngoài khi viết CV. Nhờ vậy mà bộ hồ sơ xin việc của mình nhìn chuyên nghiệp hơn hẳn.
Finally nailed my German Anschreiben!
O curso explica muito bem como montar o Lebenslauf e o Anschreiben do jeito que os recrutadores alemães esperam. Gostei especialmente da parte sobre como adaptar o tom da carta para diferentes vagas. Só senti falta de mais exemplos para áreas técnicas, mas ainda assim valeu muito a pena.
जर्मन शैली का Lebenslauf और Anschreiben बनाना सीख गया, बस उदाहरण थोड़े और होते तो बेहतर लगता।
คอร์สนี้สอนวิธีเขียน Lebenslauf และ Anschreiben แบบเป็นขั้นเป็นตอนเข้าใจง่ายมาก ชอบที่มีตัวอย่างจริงให้ดูเปรียบเทียบก่อนแก้ไข ทำให้เห็นความแตกต่างชัดเจน หลังเรียนจบก็เอาไปปรับเรซูเม่สมัครงานที่เยอรมนีได้เลยทันที
The step-by-step approach to the Anschreiben finally made cover letters feel less like guesswork and more like a formula I can actually follow.
독일식 이력서 작성법 정말 확실히 배웠어요.
Bagus untuk belajar Lebenslauf, cuma agak pantas.
Muito objetivo ao explicar a estrutura do Lebenslauf alemão, apenas achei que poderia ter mais exemplos de cartas para quem muda de área.
