Sono in Germania da 8 anni – ho studiato master e ho ottenuto un dottorato. Il mio tedesco è B2. Ho 6 anni di esperienza lavorativa. Sto cercando di passare dal settore accademico a industria (gestione o consulenza) nel settore della tecnologia sanitaria o della vita. Cosa sto facendo di sbagliato? Per quale profilo di lavoro potrebbe funzionare questo CV?

It is not you, it is the market acting so bad these years and Germany got affected by it quite a lot.
the market isn’t great plus your CV is not in the German standard format German companies prefer. So unless you applied to huge multinationals which process your application abroad the wrong format is either a reason why their algorithm didn’t like you or why HR didn’t like you.
German style looks like this: [https://careerprofessor.works/?da_image=germany-cv-sample](https://careerprofessor.works/?da_image=germany-cv-sample) yes, a picture is normal here and not having one can be a reason why HR puts you on the “no” pile
To much fragmentation. The first impression is, you change your jobs like underwear.
Try to summarize and separate optically all those small student jobs and Fokus on the real ones. Put your PhD more into the focus.
Do you include a cover/motivation letter and certificates in your application?
What you describe in your CV aligns more with positions in the Engineering department of a pharmaceutical firm. I work for a CDMO, and I don’t see you fitting into the Project Management department with an engineering background. At least in our company, the requirements are purely natural sciences with experience in development, production, and quality control.
With a Ph.D., you are too valuable for the often simple tasks that a typical technician in the Engineering department could handle. However, you would be a good fit for a Team Lead position, but you lack the necessary experience for that.
It may sound strange, but I’d recommend an internship. This often helps – even if you have a Ph.D.
B2 German, first problem
if a phd can’t get a job then fuck me i am undergrad
Are you spamming applications or carefully crafting applications to jobs that closely match your experience?
I recently got a new job in Germany in a similar field. I sent 10 applications and was offered interviews for 4 of them, and got 1 offer. That was over a period of 9 months though, those 10 jobs were the only ones I thought I was a great match for. I’m always really sceptical when people send loads of applications in a short period of time, in my experience there are just not that many relevant job advertisments.
It’s *not* a numbers game, you just need one perfect application (and some luck).
You have been a PM for a few months and want to go to the next PM position? That doesn’t look good.
What qualifies you to be a PM? You got a PhD, great, but that doesn’t tell the employer anything for the PM role.
Why is a role for 4 years having the same space like a role for 6 months? Further, text reads boring. Look for harvard verbs. The profile text at the top is not memorable. That must be better.
Yes, market is bad, but cv is really not well written as well.
For a product management role I think you need better than B2 German.
Transitioning from academia/research to industry could be rough..some may see that you are overqualified but under experienced for management roles.
I’m no pro in applications, but as a designer I can tell you it’s hard to read.
* the lines are too long (80–120 characters is the suggestion, I didn’t count yours, but I bet it’s more)
* the date on the right is not easy to connect to the correct paragraph, as there’s no guidance like lines, background or distance
* the headline font looks old fashioned. Use a sans serif
* it’s overall too much text with no white space. We call this Bleiwüste
Würde ein paar Sachen ändern:
– die Texte sind zu Zeiten von ChatGPT und in Kombination des Dr. relativ schwach – alles von GPT ausformulieren lassen
– bisschen besseres Buzz-Word bingo z.B. C-Management.
– Mach dein Bild rein, ich ziehe Bewerber mit Bild immer denen ohne Bild vor (auch wenn das nicht i.O. Ist). Der Mensch Funktioniert über den ersten Eindruck, ohne Bild verlierst du immer gegen Bewerbungen mit Bild.
I always found it crazy that the Lebenslauf requires such personal information and photo… that same information is illegal to ask for by an employer in Canada, and generally found upon if applicants provide it.
