what if we dont have any work experience

Nah, I would have to disagree. As a foreigner, who's worked with over 4 companies in Germany and closely worked with the HR. I can categorically tell you that your age is absolutely not needed neither is your nationality. Your drivers licence is only needed if you'll be on work trip a lot and I've have never included my signature in any application. And, I currently work with a super German company called Siemens. And the numbers of pages depend on your work experience. My CV is currently 4 pages long🤣.

Y lo mismo si me tomé tiempo para estudiar alemán. Ese tipo de cosas se suelen mencionar? Espero que me puedas ayudar. Gracias!!

@simplegermany

3 жыл бұрын

Hola Gabriela! Siento mucho leer lo de tu familiar. En relación a tu pregunta, depende del tipo de trabajo al cual quieres aplicar. Por ejemplo, en empresas super tradicionales como Bosch o Bayern, el dejar espacios de tiempo en blanco puede verse raro ante la persona (muy probablemente alemana) que lo esté leyendo. Sin embargo, hay muchísimas empresas en Alemania que no son tan tradicionales. Así que en base de lo que yo he observado y he preguntado, mi sugerencia sería definitivamente mencionar el tiempo que estuviste aprendiendo alemán. Creo que esto demuestra tu interés en el idioma y el querer aprenderlo. En relación al tiempo que tuviste que cuidar a tu familiar, yo no lo mencionaría en el CV. De pronto en la entrevista te pregunten al respecto y en ese caso puedes dar una explicación personal. Espero mi respuesta te ayude. Mucha suerte en tu búsqueda de trabajo 🍀

Hi Kevin! Even though it is an advantage to be in Germany while job hunting, it is not impossible to find a job from abroad. I found mine from Hungary 😉. IT is such a general term, that it is hard for me to provide any concrete advice. However, I would recommend to focus on applying on startups. They are mainly in Berlin. Some examples are: Blinkist, Ecosia, and Shopify. Some of them are even 100% remote now. Another advice I can give to you is to have a strong LinkedIn profile. You can find a lot of interesting jobs through LinkedIn as well. We created a video about finding jobs in Germany without speaking English, maybe that can also be of help to you: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lZV-ks2teLW3gKg.html Good luck in finding a job soon.🍀
