Sehr geerte Damen und Herren,
Ich werde versuchen, hier einige zukünftige Fragen zu beantworten.
Nachdem ich nicht in den Designmarkt in Deutschland eingetreten war, versuche ich, hauptsächlich die Arbeitsplätze zu beantragen, die meiner Uni -Ausbildung entsprechen. (Ich habe ein Portfolio und hatte sogar meine eigene Website, hat alles getan, was Agentur für mich geraten hat, aber es hat einfach nicht funktioniert.)
Das Diplom wird im Anerkennungsprozess unterzogen und wird in den nächsten ein oder zwei Wochen fertig sein.
Ich versuche nicht, die Sterne vom Himmel zu holen, ich bewerbe mich für 10-15 verschiedene Jobs pro Woche und bekomme auch Rückgänge von lagernden Lagerjobs. In 1 Jahr der Bewerbung hatten kaum Interviews.
Ich spreche nicht fließend Deutsch, aber abgesehen von Fehlern spreche ich frei und selten ein Wort zu sagen.
Ich schreibe Anwendungsschreiben mit Hilfe (nur das Skelett, nicht alles) mit Chatgpt und las es von einem einheimischen deutschen Sprecher Korrekturlesen/bearbeitet. Ich schreibe selbst englische Anschreiben.
Irgendeine Chance für mich, einen anständigen Job ohne Vitamin B zu finden?
Jeder Rat zur Suche nach einem Job wird geschätzt.
Vielen Dank im Voraus

Well my immediate question from just a glance is what the fuck does 3 out of 4 dots mean? Just give your level.
Your bachelor and master should be in a separate section. And you should include a personal portfolio since I see you’re working on design and there’s no way to judge these skills by certifications. You need to showcase your work and maybe include some personal projects you worked on.
So, I have been trying to find work on Switzerland for two years and I have asked for help from HR professionals during this time and some.of the tips they gave me, I will write it down to you.
Keep in mind I didn’t read your cv as a whole, because my German is quite shit, so if anything does not make sense, please ignore it.
Some tips:
– remove your photo, HR does not need to judge your face, only the CV
– avoid 2 columns CVs. The bot that reads the CVs on the recruiting websites do not handle well two columns documents which may be one of the problems for ypu being disqualified
– on the languages, do not use the „dots“ system. It doesn’t mean enything for the HR. Use C1, B2… and so forth and „mother toungue“ if it is your mother language.
– put the work permit on your cv, many companies rule out people because of it.
– quantify your achievements if you can: top x% in a class , or managed to reduce waste in y% while working…
You got the idea. Put quantidade feats that shows what a good professional/candidate you are.
Good luck!
Welp if you are applying for low-level jobs then you are way over-qualified for them, that also reduces your chance of being considered as well.
There are many things I would change but first, please expand on your experience, it should be clear what you did and what the outcomes of your work were. The certificates section could be much smaller, allowing more space to describe your experience.
Use chat gpt to write it, provide a very detailed description of your tasks and achievements and verify the results carefully, so they match your description.
Also describe your language skills correctly, examples here https://www.stepstone.de/magazin/artikel/sprachkenntnisse-im-lebenslauf
It’s a tough market right now, and you’ll need a lot of luck to get a job in any case, but still as you ask for a feedback on the CV specifically:
– First of all, it is not clear for what kind of a job it is for. It says that you studied management, and been a web designer for a month (by the way, maybe better merge it with your freelancing experiences, such a short tenure can raise questions), and photoshop photos as a freelancer. A CV should demonstrate how your skills will let you excel at a specific job you are applying to. I am not saying to taylor your CV for every application, but at least there should be a CV for every *kind* of a position you might be applying to (e.g. a designer, a photographer, a clerk etc.)
– Skills could be a bit more specific. No need to tell your potential employer that you are able to think, but e.g. for designer jobs a list of tools you have worked with would be useful.
– Same for experience, should be more specific. I am not talking about the STAR bullshit, but at least it should be clear what things „design for social media“ actually encompassed (again, whenever relevant for the job you are applying to).
– Probably makes sense to separate higher education from certificates, and give slightly more details on the education since work experience (as in being employed) is not that long.
I feel that you must go ahead with an ATS friendly format for creating your CV, because this is a very fancy creative format of CV. Today many companies go ahead with AI techniques of filtering the CVs using keywords (jargon of that particular industry).
If you apply for BWL related jobs instead of grafic design, you should set your masters degree more in focus. There is too much information about grafic design things before the information about your BWL qualification. Make a own headline for your education path after work expierience and make other certifications last.
If you’re searching for something related to your studies then don’t make all of your CV about that graphic design self-employment. Yes it should be part of it, but there’s no need for that amount of bullet points. You’ll have to tailor your documents after the jobs you’re searching.
Also: the justified text on the left looks quite bad for someone who has done this professionally.
You said that you’re writing your application letters with the help of chat gpt. Chances are that someone, who is reading those recognizes that and may put it in the bin.
