Finding a job in Germany

beppi

@marketingteam64 The link you posted above (and which I removed) was to an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) service provider. It is quite embarassing if such a company is unable to market their services in other ways than SPAMming an unrelated forum. You should be glad I removed it, because your incompetence would otherwise be obvious!

@wagamamas menu Very good - germany is presenting good chances to people who are able to realize them.

What have you already done to achieve your goal? Did yxou start learning German (and what is your level now)? Did you encertain that your educational certificates and work experience is relevant and recognised in Germany? Did you do research about the job market in your field and check if people like you are sought after? Did you identify potential employers and contact them?

If not: It is time to do these, if you are serious about moving to Germany!

@Anna2606annA IT is (still) one of the areas with a shortage of skilled manpower in Germany, so your chances are good. But, more importantly than anything else: How good is your German? Jobs that require only other languages (incl. English) are exceedingly rare.

There will be no legal language requirement for such a job as far as I know, but no employer will take on someone without at least B1, more likely B2 level of German. Good English is often expected but in addition rather than as an alternatve to German.

Unintentional typos are commonly the funniest 🤣


On a more serious note, A1 language skills are pretty weak so day to day life will be more difficult than it should be.

Regardless of any rules in place, it is a great advantage for expats if they can manage B1 or B2.

@Fred I corrected his typo.
