Hey guys,

I am a hardware engineer from New Zealand and I have been applying for hardware and embedded roles around Europe but I am barely getting any interviews. Figured I would post here to see if I am missing something, before i run out of money and am on the streets.

A bit about me:

* 3.5 years experience in hardware and embedded engineering mostly in medical devices
* Took a 1 year sabbatical to travel and now actively looking for work in Europe
* Currently in Europe and able to relocate asap
* Visa wise I do not have UK/EU work rights yet, would prefer to either get visa support and also wait to see where I land a role and then getting the appropriate visa depending on the country.

Where I am applying:

* Germany
* The Netherlands
* Ireland
* UK - mostly london

Roles I am going for:

* Hardware design
* Embedded engineering
* Electronics R and D
* General product development

The issue:  
I am applying constantly but getting almost no interviews even for roles where I feel like a good fit.

What I am wondering:

* Should I be having a professional summary (I feel like this is more for the cover letter).
* Do recruiters avoid people who are travelling
* Should I be tailoring my CV differently for each country
* Is being English only holding me back
* Or am I just presenting myself wrong

My CV is attached. Any feedback at all would help a lot. Thanks
