Hallo zusammen,
Ich suche jetzt seit über einem Jahr nach einem Job, bekomme ab und zu ein paar Interviews, aber immer noch sehen, dass es kein Muster/eine bestimmte Rolle (z. B. Business Analyst) gibt, für die mein Lebenslauf ausgewählt wird, und in den letzten 3 Monaten – überhaupt keine Anrufe.
Ich möchte also wissen, was in meinem Lebenslauf fehlt, oder vielleicht zu überall/überall oder sogar auf die falschen Jobs bewerben.
Ps
- Ich habe eine deutsche Version des Lebenslaufs, aber ich bearbeite sie zuerst auf Englisch und übersetze sie dann auf Deutsch.
- Ich habe mich bei diesem Lebenslauf bei diesem Lebenslauf bei den Rollen des Projektmanagers, Strategieberaters, Analysts und Innovationsberatern beworben.
Jeder Vorschlag wäre hilfreich (Art von Jobs, um sich zu bewerben, die Entstörung des Wiederaufnehmens, die Bearbeitung von Punkten usw.). Auch wenn Sie von Eröffnungen wissen, wäre das großartig!

Nobody, neither a recruiter nor me, will read through all this prose.
TL;DR
That describes your resume. Without reading it, I can tell your nationality.
2 easy things:
1. Nice and lean layout, what you have is boring and looks from 90s
2. Still relates to first, a very nice professional looking picture of you. In 🇩🇪 in CV is a thing.
General note You do a decent job with attempting to show impact on most lines but all the percentages come off weak and unsupported as to what that impact meant. The other part is I typically red flag lots of percentages in resumes as a bullshitter. That just me. I’m in a different profession so ymmv
There are a few things I think are odd here. Mostly, because you are using the typical american-style ATS-ready CV in a geographical and professional area it just isn’t suited to.
* Nobody (yes, tere will be someone, but on average) in Germany likes those non-commital, boiled down summaries at the top. If someone wants to have prose about your qualifications they ask for an Anschreiben.
* You are using the XYZ format for jobs. Don’t. Either stay general and give keywords that translate into skills and omit most of your numbers or be way more on point. Nobody knows if 15+ benchmarks are a work of 2h or 6 months. It could be both, depending on what the work actually entailed. Which is not clear at all from your points.
* It looks odd that you are Head of Sales Data Reporting as soon as you finiesh your degree.
* People will shy away from hiring you while you just started a startup.
* You can include mre specifics of you egrees.
* Most of your skills are buzzword bingo that could better be omitted.
* Your Awards & Honors don’t really help yu here.
* For Certifications, include where people can check your certification being valid and at least write a line what they are about. Drop your 18 year old music cert from grade 8.
* Be concise. Try to create a 1-pager with the most important info first.
I also knew you were south asian before I read that you worked in Bangelore at the bottom of page 1. It is *really really* not a german style cv at all.
the usual indian CV that isn’t fit for the german market. you’ll see the same answer in basically any post you look up here about this subject:
* way too much text, nobody is going to read that
* so many useless dashpoints that nobody can prove anyways… increased revenue by 350k, reduced something by 12,5% bla bla bla. whatever leave all of that out.
* you have a lot of major gaps on your CV, people will ask you what you were doing in that time. between 02.2024 – 05.2025 nothing is listed here. between 03.2023 – 08.2023 the same. what happened between 09.2020 – 05.2022 / 01.2022 (two experiences are overlapping? does that mean you only worked part time there?)
Okay.. so a tip: In germany we mostly don’t do this bullshit of „Inreased the revenue by over 60000%“ bragging because frankly.. it means nothing.
And most of the stuff you write in your job stations read like bullshit bingo and buzzwords.
After reading the first half of this I still don’t know what you have been doing. Developed 12 future synergies? What did you do? 12 phone calls to other companies? It’s very unclear. And you influenced a funding pipeline.
I really feel lost after reading it.
The market is extremely tough. You are somewhat between B1 and B2, if I read this correcty, after living 5 years in Germany (and with on year gap, where you could have concentrated on learning German). Are your German skills sufficient for a workplace full of communication?
1. It’s a tough market in technology in general right now (your work experience suggest that you’re looking for something in technology strategy)
2. For a business analyst role in Germany you’re likely going to need at least C1 level German given #1 – you will be passed over by native/advanced German speakers
3. You have not held a role for longer 2 years since 2019, with a number of suspicious gaps in between each. Plus it appears that you had double employment May – September 2022?
4. „Stealth Startup“ also sounds dubious – I would be suspicious about this being material work experience and lean toward thinking you were unemployed during this time.
5. You should specify which tools/platforms you used in each job and how you used them.
A lot of your résumé looks like word soup that tells me nothing about how you would succeed in a role that you’re applying for. You may want to consider a position-focused motivation letter for roles you are applying for if you aren’t having success with the résumé alone.
Man, its so much text, i didnt even bother to read it. Can imagine recruiters have the same
This is way too long. Try to reduce every job to about 3 points and every point to about 5 words. No full sentences, but keywords. Nobody is going to read all that, it’s a CV, not an autobiography.
Also, German employers tend to value formal qualification over experience, but your CV puts a huge emphasis on experience and vague soft skills. Put an emphasis on formal qualifications, certificates, courses you finished etc. And provide the actual proof for that in the attachment.
Generally speaking: Avoid stuff you can’t easily proof. Like, what is „Foresight“? Unless you have a certificate that says you can see the future, don’t say you have foresight. Just thinking ahead is something employers expect and doesn’t have to be mentioned.
Also, the CV is only one part of a proper application. Make sure to have a proper German letter of motivation that fits the job description.
If it’s not relevant to being a „Strategy Consultant“ then you should leave it off your resume. You have 11 years of work history and only 6ish years in your field. If you account for employment gaps which is the biggest red flag (to me) you have little more than 4 years experience unless you factor in the Associate Project Lead job which gives you a bit over 8 years experience.
Your resume looks like all fluff and no substance. You did things but where they impactful or successful? You led 2 competence maps… was anything useful found or was it just a big waste of time? Drive/display results, right now this looks like watery corporate word vomit.
So a few things:
1) Cv looks boring. Everyone else said it.
2) I think you dont have much experience.
Most of your positions are just 1 or barely 1 year. Maybe I’m wrong, but it’d help immediately if you write it down in your positions the length instead of the other person doing the math in their head.
3) I think you’re aiming too high. Unless you’re an alumni of a prestigious top tier MBA , most positions that claim to be strategy right out University are usually bogus. And an awkward attempt to be impactful.
4) As I mentioned, you’re aiming too high. Aim lower, cut the crap in your cv, and instead stand out with extracurricular activities. Maybe you wrote a blog on some product’s market positioning? Prove it.
you have b2 but your cv is in english – why?
