Thank you for useful content you provide. Quick quation, is introductory part (Cv summary/objective) in German CV important? to provides employers with the first impression of an applicant
Hi @henrychfestobrown Thank you for your feedback. You may have a short introductory sentence where you say what your occupation is.
perfect
Thank you @siavashsabouritabatabaei6526
And this is exactly why I hate HR, focusing on useless stuff such as: hand writing, formating what degree they have instead of what the person knows.
I don't think this is useless. Most of the things Jörg is explaining comes naturally to people who use proper communication every day. Any language is a skill. A recruiter's job is to make sure you fit in their organization. So if everyone in the organization is used to speaking and writing properly, it feels very wierd when someone writes like they are texting on whatsapp with family members.
@@stuti.sharma.ranchi I'm always fighting with HR over their stupid TeAm BuLDinG activities and other bullshit.
I'm in sales/marketing and I freaking hate to see people simp for HR and their (witch craft)
Thank you for the advice. I'd like to raise a couple of points, and possibly hear your opinion on them. Firstly, while nobody likes to read empty platitudes in a CV, understandably, the core issue is that the circumstances themselves make the applicant lie. How so? They are supposed to point out all the achievements that they had been able to make at their previous job. Yet, if everything worked out so marvellously for them there, they wouldn't be looking for a new job, would they? But, no recruiter wants them to tell the truth (ie., all the problems and reasons why they want to leave). Secondly, even if it is understandable that they are supposed to make the recruiters feel comfortable about the applicant, how on earth can they do that, given that they probably won't be speaking German on a native level, and they hadn't been a trainee as is customary at German workplaces, either.
Hi! Thanks for your question. The point we are raising is that it matters to demonstrate precisely what a project was actually about and has actually been done/achieved. KPI for tech stacks vary. But, for a start, a recruiter will be interested to learn how many Rest APIs have been integrated, how app loading time has been reduced, how many and which kinds of microservices have been created from scratch, ... The list goes on and on. It wouldn't force anyone to lie, but instead think about their real contributions. The "looking for a new job" aspect, however, is an individual question and depends on each person's background. Career growth can be one of them.
Can an automobile technician get a job in Germany.
Hey @kingharcourt8583 It is possible if you meet all the requirements needed. We generally work with Tech & IT professionals working as Software/Cloud/DevOps/Data engineers including Testers and Data Scientists/Analysts.
