I will proofread your german CV and cover letter
Native German Proofreader and Editor
About this Gig
Your application documents are your first impression. As a native German speaker, I make sure your CV and cover letter are correct, consistent and ready to send.
What I check:
- Spelling (according to current Duden rules)
- Grammar and sentence structure
- Punctuation (commas, hyphens and dashes, quotation marks)
- Consistent formatting of dates, job titles, bullet points and tenses (CV)
- Correct salutation, closing and polite form of address (cover letter)
- Typos, repeated words and awkward constructions
How I work:
I proofread using Track Changes in Word, so you can see every correction and accept or reject it individually. Your content, your achievements and your personal tone stay unchanged. Where a sentence is correct but could be clearer, I add a short comment instead of rewriting it.
Perfect for:
- Job applications in Germany, Austria and Switzerland
- Applications for internships, apprenticeships and graduate positions
- Non-native speakers who want to make sure their German sounds correct
- Anyone who has been staring at the same text for too long
Please send your files as Word documents (.docx). A PDF is possible, but then I can only return a list of corrections.

Yes, please mention it so I can pay extra attention to typical learner mistakes.
Is my data safe?
Yes. I do not share your documents and delete the files after the order is complete.
