In Germany the CV is a tabellarischer Lebenslauf — a table-style layout, not prose.

Reverse-chronological: most recent education/experience first.
1–2 pages, clean, one font. No fancy design.
A photo is no longer required but still common — you may add a passport-style photo.
Add place, date and your signature at the bottom (Germans expect this).
State language levels with CEFR (B2, C1) and name the exam (TestDaF, DSH-2).
Replace every [BRACKET] field and delete the brackets.
