Ciao a tutti,
Sono uno studente di Master in Germania, vicino a Francoforte e sto davvero lottando per far atterrare qualsiasi lavoro di lavoro, part-time o persino casual. Negli ultimi tre o cinque mesi, ho fatto domanda per oltre 200 posizioni, dai ruoli tecnologici e analisi ai lavori di supermercati e ristoranti come McDonald’s, ma tutto ciò che ho ricevuto sono rifiuti o nessuna risposta. Personalizzo persino la lettera di accompagnamento e riprendo in base ai lavori che applico, ho fatto il curriculum in riva al di fuori e ho messo il codice in lattice e la descrizione del lavoro in chatgpt e gli chiedo di personalizzare e controllare e verificare personalmente tali personalizzazioni, aggiungendo anche una descrizione del lavoro del modulo di testo.
Ho anche fatto alcuni turni attraverso Zenjob, ma ultimamente, anche quelli sono diventati estremamente rari. È diventato mentalmente estenuante continuare a spingere senza alcun feedback o direzione.
Questo è il mio modello di curriculum della caldaia con solo PII rimosso, e apprezzerei davvero se qualcuno potesse dare un’occhiata e darmi qualche suggerimento onesto, cosa sto facendo di sbagliato? Cosa posso migliorare? C’è qualcosa che mi manca nel modo in cui mi sto applicando o presentando me stesso?

I feel like the language issue and recession are two big factors here. There aren’t a lot of CS jobs anymore.
You are only A1 in german which is practically nothing.
The resume should be in german and not english.
1.) Translate it into german.
2.) German Universities do not use “GPA” to grade. Also your masters isn’t finished yet.. you don’t have a final grade there to put.
3.) Improve your german. A1 is your biggest problem right now.
Why are you applying to jobs in Germany in English? And why aren’t you using a German style CV? And why do you think A1 German skills are sufficient?
Ik you’re gonna hate to hear this but your A1 German is probably your biggest bottleneck. Companies much rather hire a native German speaker with B2 or C1 English (even for an English speaking role), than a native English speaker with zero German
I am a recruiter.
1. I see this template 100+ times a day. There’s nothing inherently bad about it, but unless you have some amazing achievements to write about and highlight, it’s not doing you favours. On top of that, weirdly everyone has very similar way of writing about their job achievements in those templates. is this an AI? Out of curiosity. The more human sounding the better.
2. Write short, sweet and relevant cover letters. Fill all the necessary application fields and don’t try to overreach on compensation goals. The competition is crazy out there.
You have 1,5 years of commercial experience in a non-EU company, it’s not a whole lot. Consider internships still if that’s a possibility for you.
Not that it’s a must, but adding a color to your CV or a professional picture to make it stand out wouldn’t hurt.
3. If you get a chat, make sure you are prepared. Research on the company, your motivations, experience, questions about the position and company. This is a non-negotiable.
4. The market is brutal nowadays, it truly is. My company is one of the few actively hiring and we have hundreds of applicants that spam us with their CVs without a second thought, ignoring requirements and copy pasting AI cover letters sometimes straight up leaving the other company’s name.
We pay attention, we read.
Sorry, it’s just a few mostly blanket statements. Sending a big hug, keep your chin up and you will find something shortly.
Use German standard format and write your CV in German, including grades. No German company knows what a GPA is and they will not google it and do the math to convert into the German system. A1 German is also way too low for most jobs.
If you send the same CV to McDonalds or a supermarket and I were a hiring manager I would bin it, assuming that it got to me by accident.
As a restaurant manager hiring a student for waiting on tables or helping in the kitchen, why would I care about your GPA back in India or your projects during your studies? If you tell me all you did was sitting at a desk working on computers, why would I hire you for a physically demanding job where you need to speak to customers?
Plus, obviously, A1 is just slightly better than zero. It great when you are a tourist and want to order a pizza, it’s useless for job searches.
