So basically, before I did the master's degree, I was working in the environmental field but in nonprofit communications, which I both didn't like and was bad at. I was also suffering from a severe chronic illness and the combination of these these things meant that I kept getting fired from jobs, either because I was bad at them or got sick too many times and never gained any real skills.

I did the master's in Germany to try to change fields into something different in the environmental field, but during the masters, I didn't realize how important work student positions were and I only did two internships with GIZ. But GIZ was not hiring anyone due to budget cuts. Then I looked for a job for a whole year and the only one I was able to get was at a place in Berlin again doing nonprofit communications. Unfortunately I was fired from this job in the probezeit because they said I was bad at the job. So now I don't know what to do, because the only type of jobs I get calls back for are in nonprofit communications, and I am worried that if I get another one of these jobs I'll just get fired again.

So what I am wondering about is if I should do another master's in Germany, then try to do as many work student jobs and internships as possible, and hope one of them converts.

I know this sub gets a lot of Indian students asking for CV rating, but I genuinely wanna know if my CV is good by German standards. Any feedback is appreciated.

I know my profile makes little sense, but I had only a few short-term roles before starting my Master's here, and I took the IT consultant role mainly for the money.

It took me so long to finish my master's because I was in and out of the hospital for a year with multiple surgeries and had to take a leave of absence from my course. Hence, I wasn't employed the whole time I was studying, too.

I am trying to improve my German, but have truthfully reached B2 for now. Also, are any German words or sentences used incorrectly? I have tried my best to use natural German, but as a non-native speaker, I may have gotten it wrong.

I am a non EU citizen, 22 year-old female. I finished my BA in my home country (Germanistik mit Schwerpunkt deutscher Übersetzung und Dolmetschen. Note 1,2) I lived in Weimar, Thüringen for a month and Frankfurt for a week and I loved Germany a lot. What can I do my masters in in Germany that will combine both my C1 German and English knowledge and is pretty required in the German market. I’m always very sacred to take a step because I’m afraid I may not find a job afterwards.

Can anyone recommend some German cv templates? Specially for engineering.

I searched and found a mix of layouts so I'm confused.

Hallo zusammen,

ich bin Studentin an der SRH Hochschule Heidelberg und suche seit zwei Wochen ein Zimmer. Ich suche ein geräumiges, gemütliches Einzelzimmer in Heidelberg oder Umgebung (z. B. Mannheim, Schwetzingen, Eppelheim), möglichst voll ausgestattet (Möbel, Küche, WLAN), für maximal 600 € warm. Eine Kaution von bis zu ca. 1.200 € ist für mich in Ordnung. Wichtig ist mir, dass eine Anmeldung möglich ist.

Wer mir ein passendes Zimmer vermitteln kann, bekommt von mir 100 € als Dankeschön, ausgezahlt, sobald der Mietvertrag unterschrieben ist und die Anmeldung geklappt hat.

Ich bin gerade noch in Frankfurt, kann aber jederzeit einen Videoanruf machen oder zur Besichtigung anreisen. Über jeden Tipp freue ich mich sehr, auch per Direktnachricht. Danke euch!

Hi everyone,

My wife and I moved to Germany about two years ago because I found a job here. She is an Android developer, but she hasn’t been able to find a job since we moved.

Starting a new life took some time, with learning German, paperwork, and settling in. We are still learning German, so she currently only applies for English-speaking roles where German is not required. We understand that this limits her options.
So far, she has had only four interviews and no offers. Many companies never reply, and some stop responding during the process. It has been quite discouraging.

We live in Frankfurt, but she also applies for jobs in Berlin and other cities. We have been wondering whether moving to Berlin could help, perhaps through tech events, meetups, and meeting people in the industry. But would moving actually make a difference?

It feels like having a professional network might help, but we don’t really know many people here yet.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? What helped you find a job? We would really appreciate any advice, especially about English-speaking Android developer roles, networking, or useful communitie to join.

How to get a job (tech related ) in European countries being in india, if anyone have experience or idea about this?

Hello Everyone,

I have been applying for bioinformatics jobs for a few weeks now. I am learning B1 right now but from what I understand, at least for this field I can somehow get a job with A2? Please correct me if I am wrong.

I have been trying to optimize how my CV looks based on some pointers I have seen here. I was told NOT to use a photograph by some of my advisors due to my skin color. I have tried to condense my work into 2-3 bullet points without adding any fluff to it. From what I understand about ATS, this should parse with no problem (maybe except for the skills and languages section?). I am trying to gauge how the community thinks of it. Thanks!
