Work, Living in Germany

In general I agree with most of what has been posted here but having a specialized skill CAN be the exception to the rule. I know a woman from the Middle East who got a job in Stuttgart 2 years ago in the IT branch. She spoke fluent English, Arabic and a couple of other languages but only a few words of German. I don't know exactly what her job was but there seemed to be a shortage of qualified, experienced Europeans available to fill it and they were specifically looking for someone with good English. I lost contact with her so I don't know how it all worked out. I think she struggled to find acceptable housing and to feel comfortable in a society where she didn't speak the local language. Having a job and visa is probably the highest priority to immigrate somewhere but other factors can still make it a questionable undertaking.
