Im’ve helped a german immigrant find work before he lost is visa for working/studying due to job loss. Applied 400+ times within 6 months. No results. Then, we iterated in 2 session across 2 weeks. He did 60 applications after that and got a few interviews and finally laded a job 3 weeks later.
Listen and follow carefully:

(2) Id you want, send me your CV and I’ll audit. 30% of cases people focus on the wrong stuff, 50% they don’t sell it well (presentation, communication, annecdotes) and the other 20% is not sticking to cultural norms / non-CV related stuff
