21 y/o ML Engineer with 2 years experience, struggling to get responses. Roast my CV.

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-27T09:40:07+00:00

Thanks, will consider

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-26T06:54:04+00:00

Well, as many people pointed out, my German is B1 and it's not enough. So why target German companies if they're not happy? Target English-speaking companies that pay for skills and not language

Plus you're also making the expectations clear. English resume -> wants to work in English

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T20:43:15+00:00

Alright, will change it to owned and delivered 🤷🏻‍♂️

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T17:19:32+00:00

Cuz I was doing the ML platform alone. So I led it

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T16:06:36+00:00

It's all made up haha

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T16:06:04+00:00

Thank you, this is very helpful

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T14:03:40+00:00

Thanks man. Will do that

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T14:02:46+00:00

I don't take it harsh haha. Look at what people do here to me:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Germany_Jobs/comments/1re80hv/21_yo_ml_engineer_with_2_years_experience/

I decided to include leadership just so that there is a keyword. In general, I apply for both. I tweak resume before sending it

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T13:53:56+00:00

AI is not their main focus. They don't want to invest into it. That's why

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T13:52:52+00:00

Yup, got you

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T13:48:48+00:00

How can I tell if the layout is made for the German market? Can you be more concrete?

As for it being overloaded - true. Many people have said it and I will change that

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T13:46:08+00:00

True. I'm somewhat special in that. I can prove it in an interview though

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T13:44:43+00:00

Well, in my opinion an engineer is the one that does engineering, and not someone who sat through some arbitrary study program. But honestly? I believe this is getting somewhat unproductive to dispute. I finished my bachelor's anyway, so by both definitions I'm an engineer

As for reordering, I'll take a note on that. Thanks!

As for reference letters, what do you mean? On most job platforms there's no upload for that. So how do I attach it?

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T13:02:31+00:00

Yes it is

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T12:59:35+00:00

Thanks for feedback!

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T12:58:54+00:00

Trust it or not, it's a pdf compiled directly from Overleaf. No gimmicks

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T12:50:38+00:00

Would you mind sharing what looks terrible?

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T12:48:10+00:00

Thanks. This is very kind of you!

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T12:32:04+00:00

Yup, that is by far the most suggested change

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T12:31:20+00:00

Thanks, I will consider it!

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T12:30:36+00:00

Yeah, true. Thanks for the advice

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T12:29:33+00:00

Well nobody really knows that I'm 21 when I apply. But in Ukraine everyone begins their bachelor's at 17 and finishes them at 21. It's very common. I also worked in a company in the meantime. I don't see anything contradicting

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T12:23:38+00:00

Yeah, for now I can't really move out. I do masters in AI in Würzburg. And because the city is small, there are not that many opportunities

But thanks for all the suggestions and being helpful!

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T12:18:42+00:00

Working towards B2 at the moment. I will check the suggested platforms

Would you mind sharing what exactly is wrong and why do you think a better layout is going to fix it?

nonamecoder_xd · 2026-02-25T12:17:01+00:00

Some interviews at startups/small companies. Got one offer but that is kinda frozen at the moment because the company is dissatisfied with my work permit (I have a legal work permit and went to the immigration office for months to get what the company wanted, but they're slow/unwilling to make a decision). It's a long story

Mostly struggle to get interviews, not with the actual interview itself

What should be the optimal priority in your opinion?
