A considerable number of Russians would not refuse to get a job in Germany. It is interesting to live in another country, and the salary there, according to rumors, is very good. But finding employment abroad has never been easy, you need to meet a number of requirements and show perseverance.
Instructions
Step 1
To get a job in Germany, you need to have a specialty and work experience in it is very desirable. You should start by applying for a work visa. It can be done only after receiving an invitation from an employer in Germany. You can find it via the Internet or directly in the country, having arrived there on a tourist visa. If you chose the latter option, then remember that you cannot start work until you receive a work visa.
Step 2
There is a special employment program for skilled IT professionals and engineers called Bluecard. Such people can obtain a special national visa, by which they can look for work. After finding a job, you should apply for a work visa. You can get acquainted with the program on its website: bluecard-eu.de.
Step 3
The most convenient, and in some cases the only option for finding a job in Germany is the Internet. There are several job exchanges, the largest of which is monster.de, and there are others, smaller ones.
Step 4
Before registering on the exchange, decide what exactly you are looking for, since there are really a lot of vacancies. Write a resume and short autobiography. Also make sure you have a good photo. You should not place a gloomy, serious photo on your resume, this often scares off employers when they look at the resume of Russian specialists. A half smile is the best option.
Step 5
After you've applied for several jobs, you will most likely be interviewed by phone to get started. Ideal if you are fluent in German. If your job is not related to communication (for example, you get a job as a programmer), then you can usually take this interview in English: IT companies, for example, usually have no problem with this.
Step 6
Then it's time for a personal interview. Very important: do not be late, in Germany they take this very seriously. You don't have to wear the best suit you can get, regular casual clothes are a good option.
Step 7
The issue of the size of salaries is considered important and difficult to many. In Germany, no one discusses salary with friends and acquaintances, this is considered bad form, but information about how much specialists of your qualifications receive can be found on the Internet. There are statistical reports that show industry averages based on different parameters. It is helpful to locate such a document describing your professional field. Knowledge of German is useful here, as these reports are usually prepared in German.
