Frequently asked questions about cover pages
Is a cover page mandatory in a job application?
No, a cover page is not a legal or formal requirement under the German standard. However, it is a proven stylistic device for giving extensive application dossiers structure and giving your application photo the space it deserves.
Which cover page templates are free at CVStart?
The 5 templates "Classic", "Modern", "Minimal", "Sidebar" and "Creative" can be used completely free of charge, filled in and downloaded as a PDF without a watermark. The other 15 premium templates require CVStart Premium (one-time €5.99, no subscription).
Does the application photo belong on the cover page or the CV?
If you use a cover page, the application photo belongs preferably on the cover page. The CV itself can then omit the photo, giving you valuable space for professional experience.
How do I combine references and certificates into one dossier?
In the CVStart cover page editor you can upload your existing references as PDF or image files. With the "Print all documents" function, CVStart bundles the cover page and all attachments into a single print view or combined PDF.
Can I automatically import data from my CV?
Yes! If you have previously worked in the CVStart CV editor, the cover page editor automatically detects your draft. With one click on "Import from CV editor", your name, address, phone, email, target role and photo are transferred.
