Hi all,

Looking for feedback on my CV. I’ve been applying to internships and junior backend/cloud roles in Germany but haven’t been getting interview calls.

Background

2 years total experience in India before being laid off (mainly frontend with React).

Currently pursuing a Master’s in Software Engineering in Bavaria (started Oct 2024).

Pivoting to backend and/or Cloud, and DevOps engineering.

Target roles

Mandatory internship (Sep/Oct 2025 start), ideally backend, DevOps, or software engineering.

Open to roles across Germany/EU, on-site or remote.

Job hunt situation

Applying via LinkedIn, StepStone, and Xing.

Only rejections, no interviews.

Challenges

My experience is frontend-heavy, but I want to highlight backend/cloud skills.

Unsure if my CV is balanced well or formatted properly for the German job market.

Looking for feedback on

Whether my CV effectively shows backend/cloud potential.

Any sections to cut/expand.

Formatting/ATS tips specific to Germany.

Thanks a lot for your valuable attention and time!

Few things, 1) remove your education dates immediately, you're showing a huge gap atm which is a red flag, 2) A <1 year project has more bullets than 3 years of work experience? 3) Don't put certs you don't actually have yet
