Career Services for International Professionals in Germany
Honest Career Support for International Professionals in Germany
Most international professionals in Germany don’t fail because they’re not qualified. They fail because nobody tells them what German recruiters expect — from CV format to tone to what an ATS filters out before a human ever sees the application. I’m not a recruiter. I work as a bridge between international candidates and German employers, and I write about exactly these patterns in my LinkedIn newsletter, Inside the German Job Market — worth a read before you decide what you need here. Below are three ways I can help, depending on where you’re stuck.
You’re not sure why your applications aren’t landing interviews.
Book the Career Clarity Call — 20 minutes to find out what’s actually going wrong, honestly.
You know exactly which job you want and need your CV and cover letter to work for that role.
You have one specific job ad and need your CV and cover letter to work for that role.
Book the CV & Application Audit — a written, marked-up diagnosis of your application against German ATS logic and market conventions, so you know exactly what to fix.
You want a full, tailored strategy for the German job market, not a quick fix.
Book the Career Strategy Session — two 60-minute sessions to build your approach from the ground up.
Career Clarity Call
For: You don’t know why your applications aren’t landing interviews, and you want an honest answer before spending more time or money.
What you get: A focused 20-minute call. No generic advice — you leave knowing what’s actually working against you and what to fix first.
Price: €69 · 20 minutes
CV & Application Audit
For: You have one specific job ad and need your CV and cover letter to work for that role.
What you get: A written, marked-up diagnosis of your application against German ATS logic and market conventions — what fails automated screening, what breaks German formatting expectations, what signals a seniority or overqualification mismatch. You apply the fixes yourself. Applying for more than one role? Ask about the repeat-application rate.
Price: €360 · one written deliverable, one target role
Career Strategy Session
For: You want a full, tailored strategy for the German job market, not a single fix — positioning, applications, LinkedIn, and how to read what employers actually mean.
What you get: Two 60-minute sessions built around your background and goals. You leave with a concrete plan you can act on, not a to-do list of platitudes.
Price: €890 · 2 x 60 minutes
Past client feedback
„What I liked in particular is Bernd’s very clear communication style and the practical examples he uses. It gives you a real, honest picture of how job search in Germany actually works.“
Katarina Durdenic, PhD, LL.M.
„A friendly, inspiring atmosphere combined with highly professional, detailed guidance. Bernd isn’t just a professional advisor — he’s genuinely motivating and gives you a real overview of how the German job market works.“
Evgeniia Sidorova, Architect
Do you do recruiting?
No. I’m not a recruiter and I don’t place candidates. I work as a bridge between international professionals and German employers — helping you understand what’s expected, and how to present yourself so employers actually see your value. If you want an honest read on your actual chances, the Career Clarity Call is the right place to start.
Can you help me find a job?
Not directly. Finding a vacant position, or becoming visible enough that recruiters find you on LinkedIn, is your work. My part is helping you navigate the application process — what German employers actually expect, and how to avoid the mistakes that get qualified candidates filtered out. If you want a full plan covering positioning, applications and next steps, that’s what the Career Strategy Session is built for.
Can you rewrite my CV in German, ATS-friendly format?
I don’t write or rewrite CVs for clients. The CV & Application Audit gives you a written, detailed diagnosis of your existing CV and cover letter against German ATS logic and market conventions — what’s failing, and why — so you can fix it yourself. Start with the CV & Application Audit.
