Responsibilities & context
Germany has published guidance for foreign candidates who are interested in working in the country's information technology (IT) sector. The guidance sets out the application process in detail, covering the language in which applications should be submitted, how to prepare the necessary documents, and what candidates can expect at the interview stage after initial shortlisting.
Language is the first point candidates must address. Most companies in Germany expect job applications to be submitted in German, although some employers do accept applications in English. Candidates are therefore advised to check the language requirements of the specific company before applying. Submitting an application in a language other than the one the employer requires carries a real risk that the application will be rejected before the candidate's qualifications are even considered.
Applications for jobs in Germany generally consist of a set of key documents, among them a cover letter and a curriculum vitae (CV). The cover letter should explain why the candidate is interested in the particular position and company, and should also set out the candidate's skills and experience to show why he or she is suitable for the role. The CV should be well structured, clearly arranged, and easy for the reader to follow.
After the initial shortlisting stage, candidates move on to the interview stage, which the guidance also addresses. The overall message is that careful preparation — matching the employer's language requirement and presenting complete, well-organised documents — is essential for foreign applicants hoping to compete successfully for IT positions in Germany.
