Question 1

Should I apply in German or English?

Accepted Answer

Match the job ad. If the ad is in English, apply in English. The CV rules are different in each language, and we build both.

Question 2

Do I need to speak German?

Accepted Answer

For many jobs, no. Tech and international companies hire in English, and the Chancenkarte visa works with English alone (B2 level). We tell you which documents need which language.

Question 3

I’ve never worked in Germany — is this for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that’s most of our users. The visa check, the CV, and the cover letter are built for people applying from outside. Only the reference-letter decoder needs a German work history. Everything else starts from zero.

Question 4

I already work in Germany — is it still useful?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Job applications inside Germany follow the same rules. And this is where the reference-letter decoder matters: your employer must give you an Arbeitszeugnis when you leave, and they grade you in coded phrases. Decode it before you send it anywhere.

Question 5

How is this different from ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

A chatbot guesses — confidently, and often from last year’s rules. We do the hideous part instead. Every rule here — the CV format, the photo question, the reference-letter codes, the visa thresholds — is checked against its official source and dated. When Germany changes a rule, we update it. And your documents are drafted from your own experience: you approve every sentence.

Question 6

How is this different from resume builders?

Accepted Answer

Resume builders sell templates built without regard to where you’re applying. A German application is not a style choice — it follows rules: a fixed CV structure, strict cover-letter conventions, separate rules for English. We build exactly what German employers expect. No score meters, no locked previews, no trial that converts silently.

Question 7

Will my CV get past ATS software?

Accepted Answer

Our ATS-sicher template is built so hiring software reads it correctly: real text, one column, no graphics. But an honest answer — no tool can guarantee you pass a filter. What we control is the format, not the decision.

Question 8

Does a German CV need a photo?

Accepted Answer

No. German law does not require a photo, so leaving it out is safe. A photo shows your age, sex and ethnic background, so an employer who asks for one and then rejects you can face a discrimination claim under the AGG. Many applicants still include one, so the CV Studio asks two short questions and recommends yes or no, with the source shown.

Question 9

What if the rules change during my search?

Accepted Answer

They do change — the visa salary thresholds are recalculated every January. Every claim in the product shows its official source and the date we last checked it. When a rule changes during your search, the update is included — you can follow every change on the changelog.

Question 10

What happens to my documents?

Accepted Answer

Your documents stay on EU servers. You can delete them at any time, and deletion is real — not a hidden archive. Anything you paste into the free tools is deleted after 24 hours. Nothing is used to train AI.

Question 11

Is this legal advice?

Accepted Answer

No. We show you the official rules, with their sources — but the authorities make the final decision on your case.
