Ciao a tutti, lo apprezzerei davvero se qualcuno potesse sottolineare se qualcosa non va con il mio CV? Sto prendendo in contatto principalmente i lavori di ingegneria del software di lingua inglese in tutta la Germania, che non richiedono il tedesco. Sto iniziando a pensare che probabilmente ci sia qualcosa di sbagliato nel mio CV di cui non sono a conoscenza. Grazie mille in anticipo.

it’s for IT, and in english, your chances are low.
The market is just tough right now. Not applying to jobs that require German doesn’t help either.
A lot of foreign developers are out of work right now, you‘ll have immense competition on the few English-only openings.
How do you reduce something for more than 100%? Isn’t reducing 100% already reducing it to 0?
Are you indian (or generally from SEA). Cause it reads like it.
You can probably scrap the summary. If employers are interested in something like this, they will ask for a cover letter. They also always read the same. There are just more or less buzzwords. “Unwavering sense of curiosity” – just sounds cringe to most germans.
For the project and work, you need to either be more elaborate on what e.g. 98.12% accoracy means in the context. Likewise, without more info, no one knows what Top Rated Achievement for top talent means. Alternatively cut all of them down to 2-3 bullet points atmax.
You will also need to recheck for writing errors. It hinders reading flow if there is a e.g. random “in” missing. It is also odd how you can reduce something by 400%.
No german at all?
You could probably play up the skills section. Although rename “competent”. What a german would call competent, would be something people in the anglosphere would call “amazing”.
– Did you start or complete your studies in August 2024? If the latter is missing, when you started it
– nobody cares that you got „stellar feedback“ from your client’s customers, nor about the 10% that nobody can do anything with
– Layout is with goodwill German format
– and the white elephant in the room: with A0 German there is simply almost no market in Germany at the moment
Without any German skills, your chances of getting a job are close to zero.
Would be suprised if you get invited. It is way to text-heavy, nobody will read this.
Seeing this also gives would give me the impression someone was to lazy to properly format.
First impression is so important also via CV.
Google CS CV layouts and you will see several examples who give you enough space for your practical experience but still looks a lot crisper.
our CV looks decent and well-structured, especially with the use of bold text for clarity.
Here are a few personal suggestions based on my experience applying for jobs in Germany:
1. **Add a recent photo** – Including a professional-looking photo (like a passport-style picture) can really enhance your profile. I personally went to a photographer and paid around €50 for a set of 3 photos — a worthwhile investment, in my opinion.
2. **Keep bullet points short and punchy** – Aim for 5–6 words per point. This makes the CV easier to scan and also gives interviewers the chance to ask follow-up questions during the interview, where you can elaborate further. You can be more detailed in your cover letter, but the CV should be concise and easy to digest.
3. **Improve readability** – A bit more line spacing would help with readability. And don’t worry if your CV runs into 1.5 pages — that’s totally fine in Germany. I used a similar format for all my applications, and it worked really well.
Best of luck with your job search!
The competent is just annoying word inside your cv .
