I'm searching for a tech job in Germany and I'm looking to migrate to Germany. But my CV is always getting rejected. I believe I've a strong tech skills to work as either Frontend or Fullstack developer at senior level. It's frustrating to see rejection mails all days and it drains my energy. Please if anyone knows the steps I need to improve or change guide me. BTW: I'm a Senior Software Engineer who has 7 years of experience in the following ReactJs, ReactNative, NodeJs, Microservice, etc..
