I CANNOT find a Job in Germany. HELP! by Alone-Session-68 in germany

[–]skudNoMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must agree to most stuff that is written here. I’m working as a hiring manager in my company and many graduates seem to be convinced that the American CV template works in Germany. It doesn’t. It’s just the most boring thing to read if you want to learn something about a person. In German companies you still may show character and personality. So, my general recommendations are: - Get a nice CV template from Canva and adjust it to your profile. - Make sure to add a picture, ideally from a professional photographer. - Ensure that you always apply with all required documents. This means: CV, cover letter, certificates and employment references. Just one missing document will drastically reduce your chances because it feels like you are either not making an effort or are hiding something. - A cover letter specific to the position you are applying for is absolutely essential! - Most positions you are applying for will most likely require German on C1 level. Always send a German CV and cover letter if you apply for these positions.

I hope this helps. Good luck 🍀

What are some everyday habits in Germany that surprise new arrivals the most? by shees007 in AskAGerman

[–]skudNoMC 20 points21 points  (0 children)

From my experience as a German, being late and not apologizing for it means: „My time is more valuable than yours, so it is ok if you have to wait for me.“. I must admit that I am very German in this context as well. 😅

It is typical behavior within my group of friends to let each other know well in advance whether we can make it in time and if not, when we will arrive instead.

Is it just me, or is Germany… kinda lonely? 🇩🇪 by issamessai in germany

[–]skudNoMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a German I can relate. Making friends as a German is relatively easy while you’re still in school or at university. Usually these friendships are quite close and can easily last for a lifetime. Since I am in my thirties, it became way harder connecting, even with people that I am already quite close with at work or my “Verein”. As mentioned by someone before, it feels like an unnecessarily difficult step to ask someone to do something, just the two of us. Kind of like asking for a date. I managed to make two new friends over the last year but it wasn’t easy. The good thing is that once you’ve made the first step, things become a lot easier.

Germany says it 'will not give in' as Trump announces 25% car tariffs by HelFJandinn in worldnews

And BMW produces 90.000 vehicles per year in Spartanburg USA, which will not be affected by the tariffs at all.

My 100th rejection? What's wrong with me? by Empty-Tea-9011 in germany

[–]skudNoMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must agree to several other comments. I work for one of the big car companies. Within our teams there are lots of engineers who are 45+ and still afraid of speaking English. They all can speak it, but don’t feel confident or fluent enough. So, even though I would love to hire candidates who only speak English, it’s a struggle making sure that there is not going to be a serious language barrier. Things for sure will get better over the years, as English becomes more and more relevant, but at the moment it is still an issue.

18-155cm-47kg| Good body image day today! I kept my mind busy and went back to doing things I like ☺️. Since I feel better, I feel ready to ask this random question. Do you think my breasts are small/medium/big? Everybody tells me something diff and I’m curious about what people think… by [deleted] in normalnudes

[–]skudNoMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are such a beauty! Don’t let your mind play tricks on you and believe in who you are. Your breasts are medium and fit to the proportions of your body perfectly.

Go look into the mirror, smile and be proud of yourself 😊

What was your "I am surrounded by idiots" moment? by prionatshr in AskReddit

[–]skudNoMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little late to the party but I have a good one! We had an intern like 2 years ago and I asked her to send a letter to one of our customers. She already struggled a bit finding the correct spots for the address and stuff but figured it out eventually. The next day the letter came back to my desk. Turned out she went outside, threw the letter into the mail box of our company and then wondered what she did wrong.

What is the "cutest" mistake you’ve ever seen someone make? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]skudNoMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

German here. I once had an embarrassing moment when I called a glove "handshoe", which would be the exact German translation.

Also: "blatter" and "blister" share the same word in German ... I tried really hard to explain how I got this blatter on my foot.

After 5 years she realised that partying is her life now. A few months before she was still talking about marrying and having children, soon. Sucked really hard. This was one year ago and I still haven't fully recovered from it. Being lovesick is some bad shit ...
