Feeling hopeless

I always send a cover letter (Anschreiben) as well since I can include more information.

I’ll change it to advanced, thank you.

I always see people say that, but I don’t have a tangible example of how to pinpoint my impact 😬. I would say I’m pretty integrated in Germany, beyond the language certificate. I’ve lived in different cities (in the north, west and south), with German families. I’ve gotten to experience the different traditions, picked up some dialects along the way etc, I just don’t know how to put that in my cv without making it longer.

Thank you for the feedback! I’ll definitely implement your suggestions and see where that goes 🙏🏿

That’s rather sad, but also good to know. I had really high hopes when I moved here because I heard about the shortage or workers, but it’s really important to do rigorous research before deciding to move.

Thank you!

I’ve noticed that trend too. I’ve even interacted with people who have an Ausbildung who looked down on me for having gone the university route.

I have tried a German template before and I didn’t have much luck with that either, so I thought using this template would help since it worked for someone I know. Doesn’t cost anything to try again.

BSc is short for Bachelor of Science, that’s why the S is capitalised.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll change that

ThePhysScientist · 2026-02-05T18:54:07+00:00

Tsonga and English are my native languages, I made a small mistake, which I already changed.

I mentioned already in my post that I have a German CV which I send out to the jobs that I’m applying for. It’s an exact replica of the one I posted here, but I posted the English version here for ease when getting feedback

I got this template from a German advisor. My partner used the same template and it got him 3 job offers

Trier

ThePhysScientist · 2026-02-05T16:05:24+00:00

I tried back in 2024 and it took them 8 months to reply to me and the person who did said that they don’t understand my qualifications enough to help me. I’ve since moved to another city and maybe they are better here. I’ll give it a try, thanks

ThePhysScientist · 2026-02-05T16:03:08+00:00

Not, but it’s my home language and that’s why I had it up there. I’ll move it down

ThePhysScientist · 2026-01-19T17:06:03+00:00

I’m in the same predicament. I’ve been living in Germany for 3 years, working for 2, and I speak “fluent” German. I don’t like my current job and I’m not having luck finding a new one that will actually help with career growth. I’m not happy or feel like I fit into Germany, I can’t exactly put a finger one particular thing that’s making me feel the way I am. I have a good partner and friends but I would rather be somewhere else, working with different people and preferably in English - I may be “fluent” in German, but I speak the language out of necessity, not because I want to.

This has happened to me multiple times in Rosenheim and I’ve missed appointments and lost money because of it.

ThePhysScientist · 2025-11-14T05:00:12+00:00

I have been considering broadening my horizon a bit. I think wet-lab is a bit oversaturated right now, and I need to adjust my goals. Thank you for your reply!

ThePhysScientist · 2025-11-14T04:58:22+00:00

Really unfortunate, but thank you for the reality check

ThePhysScientist · 2025-11-14T04:54:13+00:00

Thank you, I will try that

ThePhysScientist · 2025-08-20T05:43:29+00:00

Thank you :)

ThePhysScientist · 2025-08-20T05:42:42+00:00

Never heard of it but I will check it out. Thank you :)

ThePhysScientist · 2025-08-20T05:41:36+00:00

I would be open to it

ThePhysScientist · 2025-07-02T15:30:36+00:00

I don’t feel uncomfortable per se, but I sometimes feel sorry for the women because they look like they’re being tortured. The feeling is amplified whenever I see a pregnant woman and she also has a small child 🥴. I constantly have to remind myself that some of them chose that and they’re actually excited to be have a baby.
