Get Hired in Germany: ATS-Friendly CVs, LinkedIn & Job Search Strategy
Online Career Webinar with Harish Donthi
Are you applying for jobs in Germany but not getting enough interview calls?
Many international students, job seekers, and professionals face the same challenge: they have the skills, education, and experience — but their CV does not get shortlisted, their LinkedIn profile is not positioned well, or their application strategy does not match how hiring works in Germany.
This practical online webinar is designed to help you understand how German recruiters, ATS systems, hiring managers, and application processes actually work — so you can improve your CV, strengthen your LinkedIn profile, apply smarter, and increase your chances of getting interviews.
The session will be led by Harish Donthi, an IT professional with 17 years of experience, including 11 years in Germany, currently working at Stadtwerke Aschaffenburg.
Harish will share practical, Germany-specific insights from his own career journey, including the strategies that helped him secure multiple job offers in Germany. The focus will be on real application tactics, CV improvement, LinkedIn positioning, interviews, and common mistakes that many candidates repeat.
This is not a generic motivational session. It is a hands-on, Germany-focused career webinar for people who want to take their job search seriously.
