Ciao a tutti,
Sto cercando un lavoro da oltre un anno, ricevo alcune interviste di tanto in tanto, ma vedo ancora che non esiste alcun modello/ruolo particolare (ad es. Analista aziendale) per il quale il mio curriculum viene selezionato e gli ultimi 3 mesi – nessuna chiamata.
Quindi vorrei sapere cosa manca nel mio curriculum, o forse troppo ingombra/dappertutto, o addirittura applicando i tipi di lavoro sbagliati.
Ps
- Ho una versione tedesca del curriculum ma prima la modifico in inglese e poi la tradotto in tedesco.
- Mi sono candidato a Project Manager, consulente di strategia, analista, Ruoli del consulente per l’innovazione con questo curriculum.
Qualsiasi suggerimento sarebbe utile (tipo di posti di lavoro da applicare, riprendere i punti di decluttering, editing ecc.) .. Anche se si conosce eventuali aperture, sarebbe fantastico!

Nobody, neither a recruiter nor me, will read through all this prose.
TL;DR
That describes your resume. Without reading it, I can tell your nationality.
2 easy things:
1. Nice and lean layout, what you have is boring and looks from 90s
2. Still relates to first, a very nice professional looking picture of you. In 🇩🇪 in CV is a thing.
General note You do a decent job with attempting to show impact on most lines but all the percentages come off weak and unsupported as to what that impact meant. The other part is I typically red flag lots of percentages in resumes as a bullshitter. That just me. I’m in a different profession so ymmv
There are a few things I think are odd here. Mostly, because you are using the typical american-style ATS-ready CV in a geographical and professional area it just isn’t suited to.
* Nobody (yes, tere will be someone, but on average) in Germany likes those non-commital, boiled down summaries at the top. If someone wants to have prose about your qualifications they ask for an Anschreiben.
* You are using the XYZ format for jobs. Don’t. Either stay general and give keywords that translate into skills and omit most of your numbers or be way more on point. Nobody knows if 15+ benchmarks are a work of 2h or 6 months. It could be both, depending on what the work actually entailed. Which is not clear at all from your points.
* It looks odd that you are Head of Sales Data Reporting as soon as you finiesh your degree.
* People will shy away from hiring you while you just started a startup.
* You can include mre specifics of you egrees.
* Most of your skills are buzzword bingo that could better be omitted.
* Your Awards & Honors don’t really help yu here.
* For Certifications, include where people can check your certification being valid and at least write a line what they are about. Drop your 18 year old music cert from grade 8.
* Be concise. Try to create a 1-pager with the most important info first.
I also knew you were south asian before I read that you worked in Bangelore at the bottom of page 1. It is *really really* not a german style cv at all.
the usual indian CV that isn’t fit for the german market. you’ll see the answer is basically any post you look up here about this subject:
* way too much text, nobody is going to read that
* so many useless dashpoints that nobody can prove anyways… increased revenue by 350k, reduced something by 12,5% bla bla bla. whatever leave all of that out.
* you gave a lot of major gaps on your CV, people will ask you what you were doing in that time. between 02.2024 – 05.2025 nothing is listed here. between 03.2023 – 08.2023 the same. what happened between 09.2020 – 05.2022 / 01.2022 (two experiences are overlapping? does that mean you only worked part time there?)
Okay.. so a tip: In germany we mostly don’t do this bullshit of “Inreased the revenue by over 60000%” bragging because frankly.. it means nothing.
And most of the stuff you write in your job stations read like bullshit bingo and buzzwords.
After reading the first half of this I still don’t know what you have been doing. Developed 12 future synergies? What did you do? 12 phone calls to other companies? It’s very unclear. And you influenced a funding pipeline.
I really feel lost after reading it.
The market is extremely tough. You are somewhat between B1 and B2, if I read this correcty, after living 5 years in Germany (and with on year gap, where you could have concentrated on learning German). Are your German skills sufficient for a workplace full of communication?
1. It’s a tough market in technology in general right now (your work experience suggest that you’re looking for something in technology strategy)
2. For a business analyst role in Germany you’re likely going to need at least C1 level German given #1 – you will be passed over by native/advanced German speakers
3. You have not held a role for longer 2 years since 2019, with a number of suspicious gaps in between each. Plus it appears that you had double employment May – September 2022?
4. “Stealth Startup” also sounds dubious – I would be suspicious about this being material work experience and lean toward thinking you were unemployed during this time.
5. You should specify which tools/platforms you used in each job and how you used them.
A lot of your résumé looks like word soup that tells me nothing about how you would succeed in a role that you’re applying for. You may want to consider a position-focused motivation letter for roles you are applying for if you aren’t having success with the résumé alone.
