Youy need to bring your ID, a passport and a copy of your apartment lease. Better still, submit copies of everything. Once your information is stored, you will get a slip with your address. Save this slip. If you move again, you will need to bring it back to the Einwohnermeldeamt. It is also proof that you have already registered.

Tip: it is no longer necessary to submit a handwritten CV, unless the company requests it. Computer typing makes a better impression.

Information content - in addition to CV and resume: a) copies of all your school data/reports - special classes, high school grades (photocopies!), college info (photocopies of individual classes taken - if applicable to prospective job), in ANY case a copy of your degree(s). Perhaps: an example of your work. I used to translate movie scripts, so I would occasionally send them a sample. Worked well. b) a business card c) copies of letters of recommendation if you have them 2. ---- CV can be in the form of a data sheet, does not have to be in full sentences. Should be between 1 -2 pages long. example: 1963 born in such and such 1970-75 school such and such (and so on) presently employed at ------ so and so - END. CV MUST BE SIGNED and DATED!!! 3. -- Resume: as brief as possible, but including 'highlights' (i.e. qualifications) as to why you think you are suitable for the position offered. Does not need to be handwritten, unless stated. Must not exceed a page. Use Times New Roman 12, if not possible 11. State your number of enclosures at the bottom. Clip a recent photo on right upper corner - do not glue, use paper clip. Write your name and address on back of photo. Style: polite, but to the point. Do not grovel. State that you are looking forward to a job interview and thank them for their time. Sign and date. Is your address either in the header or footer? Have you included your phone number/e-mail address? 4. overall: include a big self-addressed envelope with stamps or international money order, so that they will return your documents. Some companies are notoriously bad about returning such things.
