Finding a job in Germany

I'm currently team leader of customer contact and master planner in automotive factory.

Such jobs exist in Germany since there is a lot of car manufacturing but getting a position without first learning pretty fluent German is unlikely.

This I'm unfortunately aware so I was considering to find really any job in Leipzig where language is not so important and sign in for German course already there to speed up the learning by being forced to use it as well in daily basis(normal informal situations) but I am really affraid that if I'll do like that I will not be able to get back to master planner position after learning the language because of the job what I would have at start. I don't want to risk such situation  so probably will end up on intensifying courses I have here to be able to increase my chances in my carrier's path. Thank You for help.

Well, I would take it one step at a time and concentrate on the language first. I don’t think that taking another type of job in the meantime is necessarily bad. You just might have to give a short explanation why. And it shouldn’t be judged badly that one was working on their language skills. Some people might suggest one try to get a job without the language skills needed as if failure has no consequences. But first impressions make a big difference. Applying for a job and getting turned down for some obvious lack of qualifications might mean you never get another chance at that particular company. You might then end up on a list of rejected candidates and when you later try to re-apply they might not give you an interview.

Cant believe,Job seekers visa is given to IT or other specialist occupation in demand ,how can bartender get jsv to come to germany and work in this profession,not 1 or 2 there are hundreds of successful people who came on Job seekers visa,work hard applying for positions improving and found job with in jsv period,again it luck but with some ones example of being successful  or struggling not good to generalise ,every one has its own profile

Sorry but your English is so bad that it is hard to understand what you mean. And why should you doubt that IT or other special skills will mean one gets a job seeker visa?! Those are exactly the ones that get it. Sorry but Germany has no need of bartenders so one will NOT likely get a job seekers visa for it. But yes, some of the people who qualify for a job seeker visa find a job – the more highly skilled the more likely this is a correct generalization. Another one is that ones with lousy English and little German will not likely find a job. Those are the facts!

No its not true,cannot generalise from some people experiences,as i told you before not 1 or 2 there are hundreds of people i seen recently who got job after coming on job seekers visa in germany with very little or even no knowledge of germany,offcourse not all can be lucky so one takes risk leaving existing job,time,money ,efforts,one has to calculate risk and in situation to face this challenges and backout plan also required if not successful

Again, your English is so bad that it is hard to guess what you mean. But you are delusional if you think people are going to get a job seekers visa from India and then get a job bartending in Germany. One has to have high level skills to even get the job seeker visa and bartending is not one of them. And yes, there are some exceptions where say IT people might get a job without good German language skills but the point is that they will have MUCH more chance if they do speak German. And if such a person doesn’t even speak English well, and little to no German, then they are going to find it nearly impossible. This is not an over generalization whether you want to believe it or not.

How are my chances to find a job in Germany from abroad? which is the better way to do it?, how can I apply and where?

I guess you need to first define what jobs you are actually looking for. In most but not all business management settings, as opposed to working on a assembly line, one would probably need a B2 or C1 German level. These are much more advanced than an A2 level. If you are say a renowned professor then maybe you might find an academic position say at a University as a guest professor where they might be interested in someone using English or even Spanish. I would use Google to research which educational institutions might be suitable. Otherwise, there are a number of websites for job offers like Indeed.de, jobware.de, monster.de and one might find jobs where other languages are OK although one more often sees this for IT and high tech.
