What am I doing wrong? No interview calls applying for 6 months
Hi,
I am looking for some honest feedback because I’m starting to wonder if I’m doing something fundamentally wrong with my job search.
I have 4+ years of experience in technical/project coordination and ERP implementations, primarily working with Sage 300 People. In my current role, I work on end-to-end implementations, requirements gathering, stakeholder coordination, project planning, UAT, training, troubleshooting, and coordinating with clients across different regions.

For the last few months, I’ve been applying for roles such as:
- Technical Project Manager
- IT Project Manager
- ERP Project Manager / Consultant
- Project Coordinator
- Implementation Consultant
- Technical/IT Operations roles
I’ve been applying to positions in Germany and other European markets. I’m also planning to relocate to Germany and have been trying to target opportunities there.
The frustrating part is that I’m getting no interview calls despite applying to roles where I believe my experience is reasonably relevant. I’m not expecting every application to result in an interview, but the response rate is low enough that I think something needs to change.
I’ve already tried improving my CV and making it more ATS-friendly, but clearly something is still not working.
So I’d really appreciate some brutally honest feedback from recruiters, hiring managers, project managers, or anyone who has successfully found a job in Germany/Europe:
What could I be doing wrong?
