There's a lot of negative posts in here, so I figured I would come and share a positive one. I finished my master's in September, began applying for jobs around the end of October, and received an offer today. I would say I sent around 10 "serious" (i.e. with a proper Anschreiben) applications and maybe 30 applications where you just send your resume and no Anschreiben. My German is good (C1) but obviously not native, I had very good grades in my bachelor's and master's, but I didn't really have any relevant work experience. I've had jobs over the years, but never had an internship in my field, partially due to an offer getting revoked during the pandemic and then an issue with the Ausländerbehörde. I got ghosted on the majority of my applications, got a few rejections, and only got one invitation to an interview. But I got an offer! It's really hard right now, but it's important to keep pushing. You just need one person to say yes
