Why You Can't Get Hired in Germany 2026

Many people are asking the same question: "I've applied for months. Why am I not getting interviews?" In this video, I explain what the latest German labour market data actually means for international professionals, students, and skilled workers. You'll learn: Why Germany can have 1.15 million open jobs while unemployment is rising. Why many qualified candidates still struggle to get interviews. Which industries are still hiring. How the IT and engineering job markets have changed. Why German language skills have become even more important. What I would do differently if I were looking for a job in Germany today. The most important question is no longer: "Does Germany have jobs?" It's: "Does Germany currently need someone with your skills, experience, location, and language level?" 💬 I'd love to hear from you. What profession are you in, and how long have you been searching for a job in Germany?
