Career Support for Working in Germany

You apply, you wait, nothing comes back, and nobody tells you whether the problem is the CV, the route, or the fact that the job could never sponsor you. Most people fix the CV first. Half the time it is the route: settle it, then make the application land.

Six months of applying down the wrong route returns nothing and explains nothing. Knowing the route costs less than one evening out in Berlin.

Your likely route, in three taps

The same engine as our free visa checker. What it cannot weigh is your actual documents, your consulate’s current mood and how your history reads: that gap is exactly what the paid audit is for.

Finding 2 of 6

Recognition first, then the visa

Your degree needs ZAB recognition before the Skilled Worker visa (§18a) applies, and that takes months. The Chancenkarte (§20a) does not ask for it. Route around the queue, not through it.

Week 1File the ZAB application; it runs in the background

Weeks 2–6CV rebuilt, first fifteen applications out under §20a

Week 12Offer in hand: switch to §18a. No offer: extend the search visa

Worked example · Career supportNot a customer’s data

The situation

Mechanical engineer, four years’ experience, degree from Lahore. Forty applications into the German market, two interviews, no offer, and no idea which part is failing.

What the review finds

  • The CV names duties, not results: not one line a recruiter could verify or remember.
  • The degree has no ZAB recognition yet, so the Skilled Worker visa (§18a) is blocked today, and every sponsored role quietly needs it.
  • The Chancenkarte (§20a) does not require recognition: the profile qualifies for the route right now.

The plan that comes back

Week 1File the ZAB application; it runs in the background for months either way.

Weeks 2–6CV rebuilt to German standard; first fifteen applications out under the Chancenkarte.

Week 12Offer in hand: switch to §18a with recognition already under way. No offer: extend the search.

Where it lands

The applications become answerable: every rejection now tests one variable instead of four. The route question never eats another month.

A worked example, built the way real reports are. The details are representative of cases we see, not a customer’s.
