The work system

Hi Foxybe
It's almost the same everywhere. Germany is better than many other places in Europe, but without the knowedge of the language everything is more complicated. Compared to Italy is paradise.

The work system doesn't suck for everyone (and I don't think that's a cliché anyway), but I'm sorry for the difficulties you've had. As Angelo said, learning the language is key. And I can assure you it takes much longer than a year to learn. I've been at it on and off for 34 years, and I would still not be able to confidently apply for a job requiring frequent communication with Germans. Ironically, I taught German for 13 years in the US and adore the language. Germany is a land of realists, which is probably why I love it here. :-)

I have a basic understanding of German.
That's all I need tbh. I don't intend to learn anymore just because of the amount of disrespect  I have received.

If you think it is acceptable to keep someone waiting out in the cold from 5:30am to 6:30am then no. I do not agree with you.

We used our last €50 just so I can have a work outfit and that happens. I have been waiting to have a work trial for one solid month being told 3 time's sorry we are not in today you can start this date, sorry I am not in bonn for the week you can start this date instead , sorry we are closed for the week you can start this date. See where I am going? Sorry we don't need anyone for another 5 months  we can get back to you.
That is not the way the world work works.

This attitude certainly is the cause of your problems.
As a job seeker in Germany (and anywhere else, too, really!) you are a beggar and you have to do whatever it takes.
Once you are employed (and survived probation), job protection is pretty strong here, so then you can relax a bit (but not too much).
If you want to earn money without putting in the best effort you can muster (and also put up with some hardship for the sake of earning well), then you are in the wrong country.

If you think it is ok keeping people outside in the cold from 5:30am to 6:30am then again I do not agree with you.

I was misleaded and lied to.

My attitude is like this because I'm still pissed from this morning. It's not right the way I have been treated for the past 6 months.

Also I'm not a begger. I'm applying for job I'm not even capable of doing be a use I have no idea what I'm doing in that area.

You are judging from one bad apple to all - and then you wonder why the others don't like you?
Also, if you apply for jobs that you're not able to do, rejection is the best outcome for both sides.
Maybe you should change your attitude. If you want something (here: job), you are a beggar!
(And better apply for jobs that you can and want to do.)

Foxybe I find your posts very sad. I have been trying for years to get the opportunity to move to Germany. You clearly don't like it, and do not appreciate being there. I have had horrible experiences here in the States with job interviews and I am a native born American. Maybe you need to re-evaluate your attitude, and your choice to live in a country where you don't speak the language well enough to get the job you feel you deserve. Being happy in life is so important. Good luck.

Hi Foxybe,

Please note that you were completely off topic on the previous thread " Common misconceptions and clichés about life in Germany", therefore i have created a new thread with your posts on the Germany forum.

Thank you,

Priscilla
