How difficult is it to find a job in Germany?

As the saying goes, "golden nine silver ten". In September, I began to focus on submitting resumes. Needless to say, I took part in the guidance course specially set up for fresh graduates in the university, and asked my German friends to help me revise Anschreiben. I read a lot of suggestions about Bewerbung, and I slightly revised my resume and Anschreiben every time I voted. A * * * voted for more than 20 copies, thinking about waiting for PR's interview notice.

However, after two weeks, there was no news except a few decisive rejection letters. I was a little panicked, so I crustily skin of head voted for several positions in companies that I was not interested in, but wanted to go. A few days later, I began to get calls from public relations. At that time, I devoted myself to the post of trainee, thinking that the rotation company would pay you to travel around the world in two years, which was really cool. (But in fact, most of the internships in big companies are also linked to the future work content. So the calls I answered at that time were basically trainee positions. So all kinds of online IQ tests have been done.

When I got to AC, I thought I was going to win, but I didn't know this was the beginning of abuse. For those compatriots who can step on foreigners on AC, my admiration is endless. I still remember that once on VW's AC, there were five people, only I was a woman, only I was a non-German native speaker, and the other four were outrageous German men. At the end of the summary, HR said, I'm sorry, your score is too poor. In fact, the result was expected, but at the railway station in Wolfsburg, I still couldn't help shedding a few tears (that was the last stage of the paper, I looked for a job for more than two months, and I never had a Zusage. The whole person's state is already very depressed. Otherwise it will be more feminine).

After experiencing the first stage of overconfidence and the second stage of serious frustration, I entered a period of numbness. These stages should be typical for most children's shoes that graduated from Germany and are looking for jobs. )。 This stage is: get up every day to see if there are any new positions, if there are, vote for two, if not, pull it down, anyway, try to keep Bewerbung open.

And the dawn usually comes at this stage. As far as I am concerned, the last few offer I got were unexpected at first. I can only say that the heart is higher than the sky and the reality is thinner than paper. For those who share my thoughts, I would like to suggest that you keep a low profile and keep a good attitude.

In job hunting, I think practical experience and grades are equally important. If you look good, you will pass PR. Don't think that foreigners don't look at looks. I have heard many stories about the preference of candidates' looks in PR and Fachabteilung. So don't just look for a photo from 4 or 5 years ago, go to the photo studio and take a decent photo. When you vote online, don't think about going to A, B, D and so on. There are many hidden industry giants in Germany, which you may not have heard of after staying in school for several years.

In addition, there are many small and medium-sized enterprises, which also have excellent professional knowledge and their own competitiveness. If you go for an interview, the next thing to look at is dry goods. What have you done and what can you do? Fachabteilung's people will know when they ask. Did you get the oral ancestor? Calm down, calm down. If you don't get the contract, everything is just a cloud. There are many cases of breaking the contract after verbal commitment. In this respect, large companies are generally more reliable, and small and medium-sized companies change their minds in minutes.

In addition, with the efficiency of Germans, the whole job search process is definitely a long and torturous process for job seekers. Therefore, it is a good choice to start looking for a job while writing a paper. At least there are some things that can distract you.

Finally, I also think we should believe in fate. Good things are worth waiting for. So be patient, not yet.

The second part. From resume to interview, experienced people answer the whole process in detail for you who are confused.

In order to find a satisfactory job (in short, the salary is high and you like it), in fact, I have no objection to Haitou. But you'd better call before submitting your resume. Sometimes a phone call can get a lot of useful information. Many people may worry about their poor language, so you can try to write down everything you want to say and ask, from Hallo to "go to hell", and read it twice first, mainly for the sake of fluency. The main purpose of calling is to let HR know that you are such a person and have an impression of your name. /zd/lx
