I don‘t even look at the resume much, just digg a little through the cv and then i invite them for an online interview to get a feel for the candidate (this is of course not possible for a large company with hundreds of applications). What i am after in the interview is some sort of „fire“ for programming, sonething that tells me they really like to develop (sideprojects (this can be a script you did to automate a chore), talking passionately about a specific technology you find interesting, anything like that) and the second thing is if i think you suit the team/company, if you are nice, maybe a little cheeky and can hold a conversation, that‘s all i need

Unfortunatelly, you‘d have to get a working permit and be at least c1 level german speaking, we get a lot of applications i.e. from northern african countries that fail to meet these conditions
