Try and do that with a truly German company. I do agree that things changed, but they definitively prefer a modest "lebenslauf" (just a list of your studies and previous positions, basically) to a self-centered American-style CV. I'm not saying it's better, it's just a different approach.

Disagree again, especially in Germany US-style CVs with focus on achievements and accomplishments are learned, appreciated and have a much higher conversion than descpriptive CVs.
