My First German Job Interview Journey (20 Days to Rejection... and a Win) Guten Tag! I just want to share my experience on my first German interview experience (20 days of journey). In my job hunt for Germany, I customized my CVs to each JD and applied non-stop. As a breakthrough, the manager responded that my profile looked promising and requested more details for screening. After sharing, he invited me to Round 1. I prepped thoroughly and aced most questions with the Head of Product (German) and Tech Manager (Indian). Cleared it—on to Round 2 with two Senior SREs (Indian)! A few tough questions felt just like Indian tech interviews, despite my prep. Unfortunately, I got rejected but it was great experience eventhough it's a failure. But I believe this is one of my win after following the German Job application process. I learned many things as outcome and I'll work a bit harder till I achieve my success. I'm disappointed but I didn't stop the process as I'm building myself more stronger and I'm considering this failure as my fuel to glow harder. Thanks @Ameenur Rahaman Servarr Basha for your guidance.
