Getting a permanent or temporary job abroad is not easy, especially when it comes to Germany. The Germans are famous for their accuracy and accuracy, so even the slightest negligence in employment can be fatal.
Instructions
Step 1
Refer to one of the sites that advertise jobs abroad (including in Germany). For example, at https://job.24ru.com. However, many employers, even those that publish ads in Russian (most likely, from among the former citizens of Russia and the CIS countries), require applicants to be proficient in German or at least English at an acceptable level. The point here is not even that you may need one of these languages for work, but that all the forms of documents that you have to draw up on your own can be filled out only in German or English.
Step 2
If you speak German, at least at an elementary level, go to online job exchanges in Germany (https://jobboerse.arbeitsagentur.de, https://jobs.meinestadt.de, etc.) and find the vacancies you are interested in.
Step 3
Finish special language courses for those leaving for permanent residence in Germany or those who want to get a job in this country and receive a certificate of completion. In the event that you already speak German, take special tests right away.
Step 4
Based on the results of your search, contact the employer (or his representative in Germany or Russia) and negotiate the terms of the employment contract. It is usually easiest to get a job for those who leave for permanent residence in Germany and have a certificate of completion of language courses (with test results), a copy of which must be attached to the main package of documents. In addition, you will need:
- autobiography in German (with photo);
- a certified copy of a diploma of graduation from a university or secondary specialized educational institution (apostille);
- certified copies of certificates of marital status, children and no criminal record (apostille);
- certified copies of documents from the previous place of work (apostille);
- certified copies of identity documents (apostille).
In addition, for work in each specific specialty, other apostilled documents may be required.
Step 5
Send the documents to the employer by letter with notification (a special A4 envelope will be required). Please note: all documents are filed in a specific order in a special folder and only then are sent to the employer. Some employers may refuse you only because the documents are presented in the wrong order, or the folder was slightly wrinkled during the transfer.
Step 6
If the employer has decided to conclude an employment contract with you, be sure to ask him if he has permission to hire foreign labor, and only then sign the contract.
Step 7
After signing the contract, send an application for a work visa to the German consulate, which can be issued in a period from several days to several weeks. The employer will draw up all other documents himself by contacting the local Arbeitsamt office after your arrival in Germany.
