Most Americans apply to German jobs with an American resume, then read the silence as rejection. It isn't rejection. The format failed before a person ever read it.
Hired in Germany is a 7-page starter kit for Americans who want a real career in Germany, not a gap year. Inside:
The visa numbers. The 2026 EU Blue Card salary floors, including the lower shortage-list floor that makes you cheaper to sponsor, plus the Chancenkarte, the Skilled Worker permit, and the 90-day head start US citizens get to apply from inside the country.
The German CV. The six rules of the Lebenslauf: the table layout, the photo question, the personal data block, CEFR language levels, and the references German employers expect.
Where the jobs are. The sectors short on people in 2026, which ones hire in English, and the five places to actually look.
Your first 30 days. A week-by-week checklist from CV rebuild to first ten applications.
Written from 16 years of career strategy and a transatlantic move I made myself. No one can promise you a job, and I won't. What I promise is strategy, positioning, and visibility, and that you'll stop applying the American way.
Instant download. PDF, 2026 edition.
