1. Optimize Your Resume and Documents
- Format: A German employer expects a clear CV (Lebenslauf) plus a strong GitHub/portfolio; tabular CVs with a photo are still common.
- Blue Card readiness: Line up a job offer meeting the Blue Card salary threshold (lower for IT shortage roles) and gather degree or 3-of-7-years experience proof.
- Language: English is fine for many roles; basic German broadens your options and speeds settling in.
