Germany Job Search: Am I missing something?
Dear All,
Yet another IT professional who is chasing the German dream since 5 months. Seeing so many job postings for my role in Germany I thought I am going to get a job as soon as I land in Germany. I did get some initial interviews but seeing my broken German (B1) they outright rejected me. That was Mar - May 2026. After that I did not get even a single call atleast to evaluate my German or get my basic details. Yet everyday there are new job postings on LinkedIn, Stepsstone, Xing, Indeed and what not.
Enough with the context here's what I am doing currently, search jobs posted in last 24 hours on LinkedIn -> Paste job description in Chatgpt with a prompt to generate work experience section to match with the job description -> Apply on Company portal(Skip Easy Apply as its useless). I do this only for jobs where I see myself fit 90%. I do not randomly apply for all jobs I see. In parallel, I am attending B2 class at VHS to improve my German. The classes are going slow and I do not have much time left on my Chancenkarte visa. I also look at Google maps to find companies that match with my profile and apply on their website if there any openings. No calls there as well. Why is that everything dead silent now? What changed? Few months back I was getting calls, thinking that ok if I drop one interview, I thought with that experience I can do the next one better. But poor me.
So Redditors, am I missing something or overlooking the obvious? Please pour your suggestion. Appreciate all your inputs.
