Finding a job
A stronger search starts with a clear target role. Compare your experience with real vacancies, then make your application easy for a recruiter to understand.
Where to start
Choose two or three target roles
Read current job ads and note recurring requirements: technical skills, German level, location and work authorization. Separate essential requirements from preferences.
Make your CV show relevant evidence
Put the experience that matches the role near the top. Describe ownership, outcomes and tools clearly; adjust the emphasis for each type of role.
Review the response pattern
Track applications, callbacks and interview stages. No interviews may signal a targeting or CV problem; interviews without offers call for a different review.

- Sending the same broad CV to unrelated roles.
- Assuming an English job ad means every interview or team meeting will be in English.
- Paying a recruiter or intermediary for an unverified job offer.
