What if you want to get friends
It seems the link is dead
sorry, i don't find the link
German here. I actually had a total of four roommates which weren't fluent in German, and all of them got their jobs fairly easily - working as architecture interns, project managers, Facebook moderators (later as a doctor) and as IT consultants. For all kinds of jobs that usually require a master's degree, companies will usually accept English speakers, even if they ask for German proficiency in the job offer (unless there is a hard requirement as stated in the video).
The hardest part is getting in - applying a lot is one way (it's not any easier for native Germans btw), but employee referrals and internships are much quicker.
Having an employee referral usually boosts your chances by a factor of around 10 (some companies inundated with applications sometimes just seem to straight up ignore "normal" applications to save time), but getting an internship is probably the way to go if you don't have somebody to set you up.
Internships are decently well paid (definitely enough to get by), and if you are doing fine, most companies will offer you a full contract after a 3-6 month internship. And once you had your first job, getting subsequent jobs is really easy.
Fun Fact: There may not be too many English-only jobs, but German-only jobs are actually even rarer once you reach a certain income level. It's still rare to find people in Germany who are perfect in both German AND English, and since companies often have to produce professional communication in English (even if their normal language is German), they are often happy to include a native English speaker that only speaks a bit of German in their team.
Thanks for sharing your insights! And we agree, German only is becoming more rare.
Hi, I want to ask, is there a chance for someone like me, a uni student who doesnt want to study anymore and just has a need to leave a country, for me its Germany because I have friends there and also I am a EU citizen, a chance to get a job there? With basically 0 experiance, just a theoritical with IT and electricity? Thank you for reply
your comment is very essential to me. I intend to study Master in Data Analytics and work after that several years in Germany. I find many pessimistic comments about how it is so hard to find and most people go back to their homeland... I guess after this i have higher hope to prepare in Germany
I doubt. I did my masters from a German university (TUM) - Data Science and couldn't get a job. Applied in almost 2000+ companies. Finally had to go back after 6 months. I have B1 German proficiency and C2 English native speaker.
Companies look for 3 things - German native proficiency, Work experience of 5+ years, European or American/Canadian/AU passport
As a foreigner, us citizen, the apply is so true. I just got a job in Germany and I applied to at least 100. It's all about shots on goal or applies on posts.
Hello hope u will answer this
Iam looking for a job there but iam not living in Germany could u help me
What sites did u use to apply for a job and what department do you work in?
What sites did u use to apply for a job and what department do you work in?
Anything I could find indeed, linkedin, etc. you'll probably find better results with multinational companies from either the US or UK. I work in facilities (electrical/mechanical). From most the foreigners I've meet who work in English it's a lot of IT and Engineering. The best cities to look in are probably Berlin, Frankfurt and Munich that's where a lot of English office languages are.
The key word here is APPLY. I have been applying for a couple of months for jobs in Germany and it is very important not to let us down even though we got lots of negatives in the process. My heart shall not be broken until I succeed. Thanks a lot for your tips and motivating words.
Hey Felix, I am still looking for a job. Just reached here in February. I am quite struggling! Any suggestions? Many thanks!
@@sanji468 Hi Sanzida, I still have not gotten the job yet, but you and I and are on the way to it. The general suggestion for us would be to be perseverant and recently I just think that we can see this job seeking process like a hard videogame. We will fail many times until we finally develop the skills to win. Do not let us be desperate and reward yourself with the little improvements you are achieving everyday.
@@sanji468 Hi Sanzida, I still not have the job, but you and I are on the way to it. I think we need, above all, be perseverant. We can also look at the process like a game, where we are improving a bit each day with each application until we finally win. I also think we should reward a bit ourselves after doing some little improvements. What do you think?
Hey Felix, did you find a job ? I am from India and in the process of securing Job Seeker Visa to find a job for Germany. While I am researching, I got to see your comment and felt motivated that you have been perseverant through out. I wish you all the best and I wish we cross our roads during our journey.
Okay we get that but WHERE?! What websites? Do you need a resume? A degree? Why is everyone so damn vague

THANKS KWEEEEEEEN 💅🏿
I have been watching your videos since the time I have decided to pursue Germany job seeker visa. All your videos are informative and the method to convey the message is very impressive and fabulous. Many videos are still pending to be viewed to secure some learnings before I get an opportunity to step in Germany. Shall write to you over your website if any queries. Appreciate your support in advance.
So nice you and lovely Tolkien
Hello, I am very happy to hear you. I have completed my MBBS . Now I’m trying to learn German language. By this time I want a part time job. I live in Berlin. Thank you .
Thanks for the encouragement, apply, apply, apply! It's a numbers game, so true. I'll check your other videos if you have tips on job interviews
Fabulous
I just found a job listing for an executive assistant with a Berlin company. It's for a year and you don't have to speak German. You can live anywhere in Germany but if you don't live in Berlin, you would need to work in the Berlin office periodically. I wish I were able to move to Germany for a year right now but I can't. At least I know that it could be a possibility in the future.
Great video! Thank you so much for the info. I was wondering if it is possible applying from abroad (Cuba 😅) and I would like to know how easy is to get a job in the Tourism and hospitality field, I graduated 2 years ago. Thank you again🙌
In my experience with hospitality and tourism jobs is that you most likely need to speak the local language fluently (unless you don’t face customers). The easiest route is to find a job that is in demand in Germany, that is why the tech/digital world has higher probabilities.
@@simplegermany I was offered a seasonal job in a hotel in Brehmen...is it legit? Thanks.
As someone who has a background in law from a common law system that's different to the civil law system of Germany. It took over 3 years about 1000 applications, registration with the Arbeits Agentur and improving my German language skills to B2 (this was the advised given by Arbeitsagentur although the requirement was seeking English speaking jobs) to get about 3 job interviews that were English speaking in my field. To be honest I got lots of responses which were mainly to do with the fact that the companies don't provide sponsorships and therefore couldn't consider my application. I ended up getting two of the three jobs that I got interviews for.
Funny enough although my job requires English as I deal mainly with international customers. I have been told so many times that if I do want to be serious about having a career in Germany, my German will need to be at a level that I can conduct meetings in German especially with internal customers.
From my personal experience English speaking jobs for people with background in corporate law dealing with international contracts for engineering and constructions companies opportunities are plenty, if one doesn't need sponsorship. I found most companies don't want to deal with the hassle and those that are desperate for people don't really know much about the process and you pretty much have to be the one that research how that works.
Thanks for sharing your experience! We fully agree that the level of German required really depends on the industry. We would just like to point out that companies don't really need to sponsor a visa. It doesn't really exist in Germany. All you need is a work contract and once a company provides that, they will also provide the documents you need to apply for your visa. Of course, some companies have more experience with the process than others. 😊
Thnx...ill apply apply apply 😁😄😉
Thank you for your video. I enjoyed this video and the other one that describes prerequisites for a German resume. I have a question though that you may have not covered.
You did say to send numerous applications (i.e apply and apply), which makes total sense, but based on your experience, wouldnt that it take a lot of time because of the fact we need to prepare a specific (Anschreiben)-cover letter and change the targeted job designation name in our Resume? Or you didnt have to do that?
Yes, we agree, your applications should all be targeted and rather quality over quantity. What we mean with apply apply apply is to not give up and improve your applications along the way. 😊
I love this how to see you
Can you please do video for small jobs for people who are not educated how the can get jobs in germany
Thank you very much for all the information, May I know how did you reach that english level?.. thanks

hello! I've just watched this video and wanted to ask if the Oil and Gas Industry can be considered also as Renewable Resources which you mentioned here the jobs related are in Hamburg?
Thank you soo much for the great tips! i can't believe these insights are for free! i would like to ask a quick question, did you get into software without a degree ? if not what would you suggest to someone who is searching a software job without a degree? Danke im voraus :)
Hey Kerem! I do not have a Computer Science university degree. I learned to code on my own and through taking online courses. In my experience, companies have never asked whether I had a degree or not. It was more of how many years of experience did I have in the field. After learning to code, my way to get into the profession was to get a paid internship to launch my coding career. Hope that helps! -J
@@simplegermany thank you so much for your time :) i am surprised that you answered quickly btw:) wish me luck, i will start applying to jobs soon in NRW region :)) I wish you all the best!!
Thank you for such informative videos. I am doing an IT boot camp from January until March and will be applying for jobs afterwards. I understand that I will prolly have to take an internship or CS job starting out. What are my chances realistically???
Hey bro how did it go?
Hey.. I first saw your video on getting a car in Germany ..jaja.. so helpful.. and guess what? We got one.. 😆..thx 4 that.
Now, my question is regarding your software career change? What did you ended up doing? Where? And how long did it get you? Could you share some??
Thanks 🙏
Glad you got your car! 🥳 have fun exploring Germany with it!
For my career change, I studied full stack development on an online boot camp for 6 months. After that I learned through any course I could really. Through udemy, free code camp, Wes Bos, and so many more. I got my first job as a web developer around 1,5 years after starting to study it. Even though it was a hard transition it was totally worth it! I’m super happy with what I do! Maybe we do a video in the future about my journey and with tips for anyone wanting to change careers in Germany.
Are you also interested in learning to code?
I'm on my 200 application now for jobs in germany ,I'm almost at a point now of giving up !! At this point I'll take anything cleaning streets ,toilets ,anything

Hi Jen. I watch your video just to get ideas for work in Europe. I live in Italy now and decided to get a TESOL certifcate from the University of Georgia, only to find out that Italians are not interested in English but rather Spanish!!!I am from Panama (also US cit.) and have gotten approached for Spanish lessons, however, I dont have a work permit. Do you have a content for online work, that hires fireigners? My major is in Paralegal Studies so that leaves me out of the picture, as you explained (and I kind of knew that; hence the TESOL cert.). My goal us to tkae the skills learned with my TESOL and use them to teach Spanish also but I only want to work online. If you know of a good German site, I will appreciate the info. By the way, I appreciate your content. Gracias

Or we can search in non complies sector as well
As long as you can bring value to the company you can also look for not directly related fields. In German this is referred to as 'Quereinsteiger', it means an entry from the side.
Hi Jen,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Neeraj, and I'm reaching out to you from India. Firstly, I want to express my appreciation for the valuable content you share through your videos.
I am considering a move to Germany, and I have six years of experience as a data analyst. My educational background includes a master's degree in computer applications. However, I do not have experience in the tech industry. I was wondering if you could provide some insights regarding the demand for data analysts in Germany. Additionally, I'm curious if it's possible to secure a job from my home country without being proficient in the German language.
Your guidance and expertise in this matter would be immensely helpful. Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.
Best regards,
Neeraj

I have a question from you. How good was your english speaking when you found your first job in germany?
I want to apply for a job as data analyst in germany my english knowledge is c1. Yet i stutter when speaking and explaining.
Do you think if i have any chance to get a job in germany in english?
My English was as good as it is now. Having good English skills helps in finding a job, but German skills can be even more important. If you have neither, chances are lower.
Firstly, I I would like to thank for this informative video , i am new asylum seekers in Germany, I have completed my bachelor's in computer science, having a vast experience in field of recruitment and information technology, I will be thankful if you could let me know any opportunity .

Having an academic degree in computer science should open you some job opportunities beyond the Ausbildung, since you already have a degree.

guys, what is your experience regarding the Cover Letters attached to the applications? I heard many companies do require CL prior to CVs to be viewed but honestly this is so annoying while sending bunch of applications and each of them must include CL..:/ Thanks!!
A traditional German application must include a Cover letter. When you send the application via email, typically your write the text of the cover letter as the email text and attach the CV. Hope this helps!

Hola Oscar! Yes, it is totally possible, as you could work in any digital department or tech company in Germany. There are a lot of companies who are willing to sponsor your work permit in Germany. My suggestion is to find as many companies as you can and apply, apply, apply. That's how I found my job back in the day 🙂.
Some companies that come to mind who might be looking for international workers: Trivago, Road Surfers, Blinkist, Ecosia, and even Google and Amazon in Munich. The best of luck to you! 🍀

Helo am sharifah from Uganda I want to come to Germany for job
I heard that Germany doesn't allow residents or citizens to be employed by overseas company as contract workers and work remotely for them from Germany.
I heard that the overseas company has to register with Germany to establish as a German company in order to hire German residents.
That sucks for not be able work for overseas company from Germany if they aren't registered. Unless if you do freelance? Aka register yourself as a company providing services to the overseas company and they are your clients instead of employer? Like running your own business. Create invoices and charge them for every service.
This is actually not a German thing, but a European (or worldwide thing). However, thanks to the new remote working world, lots of start-ups like Workmotion are tackling that issue, by handling all the bureaucracy that involves hiring employees abroad. And yes freelancing is always an option 😉
There are many countries in the E.U. that will give you a visa even if you work remote. Germany is just behind, or just doesn't want too allow housing for remote workers.
@@xoxo3588 Is that remote job only for that same european country? Or you can even work for international company?
And if they can work for international company, what do they consider the job position as? A self employment?
And you have to be responsible for all taxes? The international company won't be responsible for the tax law for your local country?
@@m.farhana.rahman3372 Many countries don't charge you tax if you live abroad but I can only speak of the U.S. and Italy. The U.S. only taxes you abroad when your salary is over $100,000/yr. and Italy doesn't tax if you live abroad and don't have income in Italy. Yes, it's possible to have to pay taxes in both countries. It depends on your countrys dual citizenship and tax laws/ limits. You can use traveler's health insurance for a year if your remote job doesn't have benefits. Ireland, Croatia, Estonia, Hungary, Italy, Czech Republic, Iceland, Dubai, Most of the Caribbean islands, Costa Rica, etc have The Digital Nomad Visa. Countries like Norway and Germany require you to work for their companies in their country and be involved in their own projects as freelance. They are kind closed off when it comes to their ppl branching out to business in other countries. You most likely will have to be freelance. Google Digital Nomad Visa. Hope this helps.
@@xoxo3588 yes, thanks. it makes more sense if the job is considered as freelance. Technically, a company cannot hire an international worker and register them as a local worker when they don't even live in that country. For example, a USA company hired an Italian worker who is living in Italy. They cannot hire them and register into USA system because they don't live in USA. And for the person in Italy they will have to register themselves as a freelancer for taxes purpose in Italy, because they have an income for their remote work from the USA company.
What about part time jobs like in stores like tedi and In restaurants? Can't we get a job if we don't know English?
If you wan't to work in (german) customer facing jobs you usually need to speak german on at least C1 level. English is not needed at that kind of jobs.
What about people like myself who are considering being English teachers? I've been thinking about getting a TEFL certification and teaching English either in Germany or remotely. I'm just not sure if it requires that B Level German knowledge.
That would depend on your employer. You could search for jobs in universities or international schools. A remote option you could look into is an English teacher with Lingoda.
@@simplegermany Okay thanks! I decided to choose Preply :)
Hey guys, getting a little more movement in my goal and living and working in Germany. I'll likely be 61 when I get there, so any thoughts on age-ism in Germany? I was also thinking of getting a qualification to teach English as a job (my background is Learning & Development and Human Resources, so familiar topic). Any thoughts from you ... or the community? If 61+ is pretty much "too old" happy to hear that too. Reality is what it is. Cheers :)
It is never too late 😉. Now we obviously can’t speak from experience but there is definitely no ageism generally speaking in Germany. About teaching English, that is most common as a freelancer at a language school or similar. Hope this helps! 😊
@@simplegermany Thanks! Always gotta try new things 😀

Currently am self-learning German on an app and hopefully, I can enroll in a Goethe Institute around April/May 2021.
Just trying to increase my competitiveness out here in the job market.
Again, great content. Keep going am learning a lot from your channel.
Thanks a lot Timothy! Sounds like you are on a good way. Developers are definitely in demand here, so keep it up!

Can non native speaker teach English in Germany?
I did my masters from a German university (TUM) - Data Science and couldn't get a job. Applied in almost 2000+ companies. Finally had to go back after 6 months. I have B1 German proficiency and C2 English.
Companies look for 3 things - German native proficiency, Work experience of 5+ years, EU/ American/Canadian/AU passport.
Did you got the Job?

I want to work in Germany. The only skill I have is speaking English fluently. I feel like I'm disappointed because I have no further skills in I.T services, in Health services, or even in banking. I'm 34 years old. I work as a tour guide. I speak English and Russian language. However, I have no previous experience except tourist guidance field when it comes to the chances of being accepted in German companies if I applied. In addition, my life is totally ruined where I live. My job is temporary, not permanent and it is seasonal. I have no future here. I began to learn web development through a Udemy course. However, I don't think there is a German company that would accept me in the web development sector relying on a course I've taken from a website. I need some guidance, please. Do I still have a chance with only my English language to have a job and land in Germany, after what I told you ??? Are there any companies that would hire anyone only for speaking English fluently and give him a monthly-paid training if he's new to a job? Please enlighten me with the information you know from your experience.
JEN, PLEASE. I HOPE YOU REPLY IN A COMMENT. THIS MATTER MEANS A LOT TO ME. THANK YOU.
Hey Elijah, that is a tough question. At the end of the day, you need to have skills that a company is willing to pay for. English alone, unfortunately is not a skill that German companies would pay for.
So your best bet is to find companies you would like to work for, see what skills they are willing to pay for and gain those skills.
If you like web development, ask a couple of local companies or friends if you can build a website for them. This would already count as real experience that might help you nail a job or internship.
Hope that helps. -J
@@simplegermany Unfortunately, I live in a small city and I don't have friends need some website to design. Plus I don't have companies in my hometown.
But I've got your point anyways. At least if I have German language skills with a B1 level (maybe?) and some skills with development, can I find an internship to apply practically what I've learned through a web development boot camp course?
I mean if an internship is a possible solution and the internship will grant me many experiences later to work in a German company. Would that a reasonable and factual solution if it exists?
Is that a good idea? Can a 34-year-old man like me find an internship if he had a proven German proficiency certificate for the B1 level? I mean, just to obtain an internship?
What do you think?
I need just some key. I like the I.T field. But to be perfectly the only knowledge that I barely know in one of the I.T branches is web development.
And, I just really wanna have a good chance and good job instead of tourist guidance here that has become a useless job for my interests.
hey can i find a job if i dont speak german? thanks for answer
