• Use the guide below for mandatory fields and good practice — then open a template with sample data to see a complete example.

Invoice essentials (Pflichtangaben)

• In Germany (§ 14 UStG) a proper invoice must include: full name and address of seller and buyer, tax ID or VAT ID, invoice number, invoice date, line items with description, quantity, unit price, tax rate and tax amount, and total.
• For small businesses (Kleinunternehmer) note the exemption under § 19 UStG instead of charging VAT.
• Add payment terms, bank details (IBAN/BIC) and a clear due date so the buyer knows how to pay.
• Keep invoice numbers unique and sequential — gaps can raise questions during tax audits.

Seller: Example GmbH · Industriestr. 1 · 80331 Munich

Tip: Our invoice template includes seller/buyer blocks, line items and tax — add your VAT ID and bank details in the address or payment terms field.

Receipt basics

• A receipt confirms that payment was received. It is simpler than an invoice but should still name seller and recipient, date, what was paid for, amount and payment method.
• For cash payments in Germany, a Quittung helps both parties document the transaction — especially for deposits, rent or private sales.
• Include a receipt number for your own records and optionally a signature line.
• Receipts are not a substitute for a VAT invoice when the buyer needs input tax deduction.

Resume / CV tips

• Lead with your name and contact (email, phone, city). A short profile (3–4 lines) works better than a long objective.
• List experience reverse-chronologically: job title, company, dates, then 2–3 bullet points of achievements — use numbers where possible.
• Education, skills and languages in separate sections. One page is ideal for under ~10 years experience.
• In Germany a photo is optional; in many other markets it is discouraged. Match the conventions of the country you apply in.

Tip: Use the template fields for email, phone and location separately — the PDF preview formats them on one contact line.
