Struggling to Land an AI Job in Germany, Need Advice!

Hi everyone,

I'm a Master’s student specializing in AI, currently in Germany, and I’m in the final phase of my thesis (to be completed in two months). I’ve been actively applying to various AI and Data Scientist roles, but unfortunately, I’ve only faced rejections.

Here’s what I think might be holding me back:

Saturated AI Job Market: Many roles now require prior experience, and while I do have working student experience as a Data Analyst, I don’t have full-time professional experience.

Language Barrier: I’m still learning German and don’t yet have the proficiency that many roles require.

I tried upskilling myself, did a few projects in last few months, but no interview calls.

I want to secure a full-time job in the next 2-3 months. My top priority is gaining experience in a professional environment, even if the pay isn’t ideal at first.

I'd love if someone could give suggestions on:

• How can I improve my chances of getting hired in this competitive market?
• Are there related roles or industries here which I can target, that are more open to fresh graduates.
• Should I focus on building more projects, or networking more effectively?

I’m open to any suggestions, tips, or insights that could help me navigate this situation. Your advice will mean a lot!
