Review how firms can reach you
Make sure your email and phone details are right. A shareable public profile can add more work facts without making the CV long.
What matters in your job market
The Federal Employment Agency lists jobs across Germany. You can also look for training or a junior role in your federal state.
Read several job adverts and mark the skills that come up most often. Some tasks are essential while others are only a bonus. If your CV does not show a key skill, add a real example if you have one. If you lack a required licence, look for a related entry role or training path. The Federal Employment Agency offers advice about skills and work. You may learn more from a few focused applications than from many rushed forms.

One common question
Is it better to send more applications?
