You're Not Getting Interviews
You're sending applications, but nothing happens. No responses, no invitations, no progress.
In most cases, the problem isn't the market. It's your positioning, your CV, or your targeting. These are the three most common causes, and they can be addressed systematically.
Most Common Causes
Your CV doesn't fit the German tech market
German companies expect a specific format, clear structure, and recognizable positioning. A generic CV that fits every role gets filtered out.
Your positioning is unclear
If your CV doesn't make it clear within 10 seconds which role you're targeting and why you're qualified, you'll be sorted out.
You're applying to the wrong roles
Too broad, too senior, wrong company size, or wrong location. Targeting mistakes drastically reduce response rates.
Your online presence is missing or hurting you
No LinkedIn profile, an empty GitHub, or contradictory information between your CV and online presence are common reasons for silent rejections.
Common Misinterpretations
Quick Self-Diagnosis
Do you have more than one CV version for different role types?
Can you say in one sentence which role you're looking for and why you're qualified?
Are you applying specifically to roles that match your level and profile?
Is your LinkedIn profile current and consistent with your CV?
If you answered No to more than two of these, your problem is likely positioning, not the market.
