Many European travel guidebooks written for Americans seem to make an assumption that English is now spoken everywhere, so it’s “no problem” if you don’t know any German or French or Italian when visiting those countries. I was visiting Berlin in 2015, and one evening I tripped and badly cut my right heel. I found a drugstore that was about to close. I asked the woman inside (in English) if the store had any bandages. When I realized she didn’t understand me, I knew enough German to be able to ask, “Haben Sie ein Pflaster, bitte?” She then offered me several different sizes and a cleanser for the wound. That’s just a small example of why you may not always get what you need by only knowing English, even in Berlin. I can understand why German fluency is a must if you want to work in Germany. 🎒
As a foreigner working in Germany I can say there is a big sector where requirements are more relaxed. Software development. And everything around that - UI designers, sysadmins, project managers, user researchers, customer support specialists, etc. And yeah, in many jobs in the field you only need english language and german is not a requirement. Education requirements are also less strict - experience counts just as much as a diploma :) The biggest hub in Germany for these kinds of jobs right now is probably Berlin. But I heard one can find some good jobs of the kind in Hamburg, München and Frankfurt as well.
Not sure if you'll see this, but how much do the Germans focus on certification and Education? I know here in the states they're pretty lenient going more for experience over education/certification, granted some places still do demand a bachelors or x certification. As someone with an Associates in Graphic Design but 5 years in System Administration (working on the MCSA now) I've always been curious how accepting German IT companies are.
Hey there, thanks for all the info. I can say from experience that the correctness of the application, languagewise and contentwise is very important to the Employers here. I spent almost a month perfecting my Lebenslauf and Anschreiben, but once I got it done they way I thought they wanted, it was well worth it. I applied at 8 places and was invited for an Interview at all 8. So you can't really stress it enough to focus on writing these two pieces of papers perfectly. Your info about the picture is spot on. I found it funny as well in the beginning but it turned out to be very important. I gotta say, you Germans are a very peculiar bunch, very particular about your way of doing things. :-) but I found that you are also very appreciative of someone who puts in the effort to get it right. And thanks for yet another informative video.
No, I cannot send you my Lebenslauf. That's private. Come on. But there is a ton of material online for it. Ask your German teachers for help. That's what I did. There are a couple of helpful links in this video description as well. I'm sorry I can't do what you wanted from me.
So I'm a citizen of America and Germany, and I'm moving to Germany after living in America for most of my life. My German is apparently at the A2 level, and companies are still showing interest because I put on my resume that I'm working on it. Do that maybe, because it shows that you won't just become complacent at a certain level. There are actually a ton of English speaking jobs, especially in big cities, but they get filled quickly so apply quickly. Yes, in America, you can get a business degree and literally work anywhere, not so in Germany, but German companies understand this so post your resume. In Germany it is much more common to post your resume and companies call you, unlike in America where you only get contacted by scam companies when you do that. Just try it, Germany wants young people, so even though it's not easy, they will help and you'll be welcomed with open arms if you make it.
@@Liebe_alles well, I guess that's the beauty of UA-cam, it sends a notification to my phone so I saw your comment immediately lol. Anyway, yeah I did. I actually got it by joining a Facebook job searching group in the area I was moving to (there's plenty, Arbeit in Berlin, Arbeit in Hamburg, Munich...so on). I posted what I was looking for and my qualifications. I had a few people reach out, one was a head hunter, and I got my job through him. I also used Xing, stepstone, and indeed, and my wife found a job through those means. Just make sure your working ability in Germany is figured out, some people make that mistake and just show up to Germany without any working documents. An English speaking job can help you get a working permit because they can say they needed a non-EU citizen for it, and then it gets fast tracked. But good luck!
I have worked in Germany 3 times, for big companies such as Hugo Boss and Puma. I didn't need to speak German at all... however of course it helps, once there - But during the application it was irrelevant. However they are English speaking companies and design roles.
Thank you, Dominik, for sharing these info!! I used to say the same to other Italian people and they called me liar to be polite!! I have started to get called when I learned German and did all things you suggest
I think you can use a template, but if you are applying for higher skilled positions, you should tailor your resume to the position's needs. The cover letter definitely should not be a template.
I really want to travel, but without any specific plans. Thank you for sharing all the reasons why I would never fit in, and would probably be homeless in Germany! Hopefully I can at least be a tourist sometime though! I promise I'll spend my money and leave with my obnoxious tourist pictures before anyone truly notices lol
I just moved to Berlin a few days ago (from the US) and am living out of a hostel looking for an apartment and a job- Relevant content! lol Even after preparing for years... it's hard. Also, nice hair.
I would say you have amazingly summarised almost everything required to know about job hunting in Germany. And I really liked the way you presented all the information step by step. (but can't like your hair color, sorry; burgundy would suit much better I guess)
I am hired at a company from Munich and there is the English language used as a business language but I speak German language and when I am there I would look for obtaining B2 Certificate from TELC or Goethe Institute. Indeed the CV has to have a professional photo, to be chronological and so on. Currently, I have applied for the work visa because I have got the contract.
So like you said about Russia, Japan is actually the same as russian recruitment process. They care about yoyr work ethics and hardworking. Most recently many europeans unsurprisingly look for jobs in Asia to start off professional career. I think there are pros and cons in Europe to recruitment standard. Everyone goes follow US and tech trends which kills the rest of industries. That migjt create surplus and shortage for labor because of lower wages.
Thank you for the info! I didn't actually know about that :) Here's some information for those who are interested: www.bamf.de/EN/Migration/Arbeiten/BuergerDrittstaat/BlaueKarte/blaue-karte-node.html
I want to add something. When you apply for a job in Germany as a foreigner and you don't worked here before on the German "Arbeitsmarkt" you do not really have to be as serious as a German applying in Germany. But of course don't be too creative.
For me it was quite easy because i already had 2 years of experience and a university diploma. I made 8 very aimed applications and got interviews from all of them. in the end i had to choose between 2 companies and I went for the best :) However language is a huge thing. You have to face bureaucratic details of the German life, paperwork, handling your insurance and banking stuff. Also most people older than 40s don't speak good English and it's important to be able to talk with your landlord or finding a doctor or visiting a hospital. English support is a thing that is still under development and German is a more difficult than average language, you need to actually really want it in order to be able to learn it. I personally think that life in Germany is easy when it's a choice of your heart and mind and not just a need for income or personal comfort. PS: nice hair job :D
Hey Dominik😄 Dude thanks for this video. Since I first came to Germany I've learned about the culture, "norms" and the language from your videos and they're so helpful. I'm deeply grateful. From my experience and the theme I got from this video learning and enjoying speaking German is an important key. Thank you again Dominik. Ahhhh but what about simply starting a business here. How does the entreprenuer system work in good ol Germany?????
I'm West Indian and was looking into Studying as well as working in Germany for my husband & myself. The requirements and procedure are extremely strict compared to how it works here. It seems that Germany is all about what's on paper and not really the capacity of the person. For studies, universities expect history/transcript from primary and high school plus A levels. Imagine being in your 40's and having to source all those documents, references and such or never having done A levels (since university in the Caribbean don't require it for undergrad studies). It's a hard system this Germany
Wow! This video is packed full of information, thanks for publishing it! I'll search through your videos because you may have already covered it, but how difficult is it and what is required to be able to retire in Germany as a foreigner? :-)
Ich habe keine Lust in Deutschland zu arbeiten, weil ich nur ein bisschen Deutsch sprechen kann; aber vielleicht, eines Tages. Du weißt, ja, dass Ich weiß nicht so viele Worte! Ich bin nur ein Anfänger ;(
I have a question for your Q&A video. Is kaffee und kuchen still a popular tradition in Germany? I did ask you this on your Twitter but I think you have better chance seeing it here.
I feel like speaking German should be obvious... even if you don't need it for work, you should definitely speak German, because it makes life in Germany far easier... But clearly people miss that detail a lot lol
I have an idea for a UA-cam video for you. I'm originally from the US but I also hold German citizenship through my mother. I'm thinking of looking for a job in Germany. Whenever I look I see these notations in the job title: (m/f/d) Coming from the US I don't know what this means. I recommend you do a UA-cam video explaining what these mean. It would be very helpful for people from outside German coming into German to understand this notation.
Also immigrating to Germany is not easy unless you have an advanced degree if you are not an EU citizen. www.germany-visa.org/immigration-germany/ People in the US often confuse Germanys refugee program with their regular immigration policies but the two are not the same.
That was my fear. I'm a brazilian learning german. Hoping I could work there as a production worker. I never been to college and the only things I studied were English and German.
If you Google: Steuben-Schurz Gesellschaft e.V USA Interns Program Deutsch-Amerikanisches Praktikantenprogramm. It is how I wrote my CV for an Ausbildung. It’s very helpful and explains all of the important points
Thanks for doing a video on this! I have a question that I'm not sure you can answer, but I'll ask anyway, just in case - I work in health information technology/management here in the US, and I'm wondering if there are many jobs in Germany in that field. I've done a bit of research and I know there are companies like Siemens Healthcare in Erlangen which are in my industry, but I don't know how many jobs there really are available across the pond. Do you happen to know anything about this? Also, I don't know if you've covered this in a previous video, I'll have to check your channel and see, but if I as a foreigner wanted to go to university in Germany, what would I have to do? I definitely have to work on improving my German, too, but that's something else altogether. 😁
Great video I have an important question. My wife is a German citizen and we got married last year. She lives in Germany and I just accepted a job offer in Germany. Now, I'm American and I believe I will need a work permit? How do I go about that?
Hi there. Could you make a video on how to get an industrial job in Duetchland for a British national with no degree. Thanks This one is great info given on here 😊
This is the first time watching this video. I live in the United States, and I study German at a university. I was wondering what kind of opportunities are available to English speakers who have studied German at the university level and receive their bachelor degree. I am thinking about going for my master's degree. I am not really sure what I want to do, but I would like to end up in Germany one day. I really enjoy the country. This past summer I visited Munich and stayed with a friend before heading to Berlin for a study abroad class which lasted about a month. Berlin is a really neat place. If anyone has my experience, I'd like to know. It is crazy because I studied German because it interests me, but I don't think there is much opportunity for a German teacher in Germany. :)
Hey Dominik! I don't know if anyone has addressed this question or not but how are people with disabilities treated in Germany? I am well aware that discrimination, unfortunately, exists all around the world. It's just that I want to know what to expect before going to Germany to visit one of my friends. I am curious to know how people with conditions such as Cerebral Palsy are perceived. Also, I love your blue hair! It's very cute!
Entschuldigen Sie. Ich hatte einen deutschen Abschluss aber dann habe ich zur meiner Heimat zurückgehen. Jetzt möchte ich noch mal nach Deutschland, um eine Arbeit zu finden. Nach Ihrer Meinung muss ich mich zumindest im meinem Bereich 5 Jahre beschäftigen. Bis heute habe ich nur vielleicht 2 jährige Erfahrung als Embedded Softwareentwickler. Darf ich mich noch um ein Visum zur Arbeitsuche in Deutschland bewerben ? Es freut mich sehr, um Sie kennenzulernen. Entschuldige ich mich wenn mein Deutsch manchmal nicht so gut ist. Danke sehr.
I have a bachelors from Georgia state in communications, i go to a german private uni with a good rep but no one will hire me. Im either over qualified or "my german isnt good enough. Im at b2. I also was told thay some hr departments just dont feel like dealing with the burden of foreign hires
I'm in the medical field and a lot of the research I've encountered indicates that Germany is seeking Indian and southeast Asian persons for the in demand medical jobs. What is your experience with Americans coming over to work in the medical field?
I'm trying to find out about working in Germany while I learn German and it seems like everyone is talking about white collar and technical jobs. I'm currently getting my Heavy Goods Vehicle (Category C) licence and have no idea whether that would make me eligible for German driving jobs. :-(
Well, you didn't answer the last question fully. You told about the job seeker visa, but does applying from abroad (say UK) work? Do the companies prefer people already on job seeker visa in Germany over those applying from abroad given same qualifications?
Does marriage to a German citizen kind of by pass the need for a Masters Degree in college and 5 years of work related experience in the field of study?
I heard it takes time to apply for a job in Germany. I will try my best but I'm still wondering how much time I should give myself? Is there anyone who would like to share the experience? (I am a master in biochemistry)
I believe it would be easier while being in Germany but many companies offer job interviews via Skype or similar services if you can't be present in person!
Wait... You must have 5 Years of experience in order to get any job there?? I’m currently in a technical school and will graduate in December however do not have any experience in the related field.. Does this mean I will not be able to find a job there?
I have a question about education. I'm American and I'm currently going to a community college. When I graduate, I will get an associate's degree, which is half of a bachelor's degree. Why is it required to attend a four year University in the U.S. for at least one year before transferring to a University in Germany? What about after I get my associate's degree. That's the equivalent of going to a four year University for two years, but without actually going to a University.
hey, one question: I have reference letters from my previous job but should i also prove my working period at my previous company (for example, i had worked there for 2 years, the recruiters who are interested in me will ask for a document proving my 2 years of experience? Is it something very common to prove it in Germany?) Because i didn't get any document like that:/
In the future I'm planning on becoming a English teacher in Germany, is it possible if I start leaning German language now? Get certificates at University, because we have classes to learn? I'm just out of high school.
Hi ,would you please answer if an international student with a good base of german and english can pay her costs by working part time ? Is it difficult to find a part time job?i mean is it possible if you don’t get a job at all?In cities like leipzig or aachen Thnx for the great videos
How do you go about getting your qualifications/certifications recognized in Germany? I've seen many job descriptions that say don't apply unless you have had your certifications recognized by the state etc.
Well, Germany is hungry for qualified people and German employers will adapt to the new world. In the IT industry, no one cares about German or Recommendation Letters. Experienced software engineer based in Germany will be contacted by German Recruiters every day, sometimes multiple times in a day.
Hi I am from India and working in German company since 2008. I an looking to settle in Germany So pls help to suggest best way. I know German language quite not fluent. However I have degree in International Business.
whom do germans (all classes)prefer for health checkup? will they goto coloured skin female doctors for checkup if working in private hospital or own practise or feel offended?
well as far as i know Programmers since they have to code in English in first place doesn't need much of German except for living of course, just one question i personally self study German, just wondering if any good website to mock test of actual German test myself or not. i found bunch by googling but they are not seems as actual mock test. i appreciate if you can tell which ones are good
Bottom line, all the formal aspects of the job application are examined rigourously in Germany, a good command of the language being perhaps the most important of them for any non-German fella wanting to land a job there. Good video, and a comprehensive explanation.
Many European travel guidebooks written for Americans seem to make an assumption that English is now spoken everywhere, so it’s “no problem” if you don’t know any German or French or Italian when visiting those countries. I was visiting Berlin in 2015, and one evening I tripped and badly cut my right heel. I found a drugstore that was about to close. I asked the woman inside (in English) if the store had any bandages. When I realized she didn’t understand me, I knew enough German to be able to ask, “Haben Sie ein Pflaster, bitte?” She then offered me several different sizes and a cleanser for the wound. That’s just a small example of why you may not always get what you need by only knowing English, even in Berlin. I can understand why German fluency is a must if you want to work in Germany. 🎒
As a foreigner working in Germany I can say there is a big sector where requirements are more relaxed. Software development. And everything around that - UI designers, sysadmins, project managers, user researchers, customer support specialists, etc.
And yeah, in many jobs in the field you only need english language and german is not a requirement. Education requirements are also less strict - experience counts just as much as a diploma :)
The biggest hub in Germany for these kinds of jobs right now is probably Berlin. But I heard one can find some good jobs of the kind in Hamburg, München and Frankfurt as well.

Thanks in advance!
Haven't watched a Get Germanized video in a while, love the new hair + the new set
Glad to have you back! :D
Love your hair Dominik :D
Yes, I agree. Love the tint.
Don´t know why, but i love your personality in videos!! loooove your hair!
Your hair looks awesome!
Thank you, Dominik, for sharing these info!! I used to say the same to other Italian people and they called me liar to be polite!! I have started to get called when I learned German and did all things you suggest
Yea in the US you just send every company the same resume(CV)
I think you can use a template, but if you are applying for higher skilled positions, you should tailor your resume to the position's needs. The cover letter definitely should not be a template.

Hi! There is a "Blau Carte" program. You did not mentioned it, but I think it is worth mentioning in this topic.

It simply means male / female / disabled can apply for that job.

Gutes Video . Top
This is the first time watching this video. I live in the United States, and I study German at a university. I was wondering what kind of opportunities are available to English speakers who have studied German at the university level and receive their bachelor degree. I am thinking about going for my master's degree. I am not really sure what I want to do, but I would like to end up in Germany one day. I really enjoy the country. This past summer I visited Munich and stayed with a friend before heading to Berlin for a study abroad class which lasted about a month. Berlin is a really neat place. If anyone has my experience, I'd like to know. It is crazy because I studied German because it interests me, but I don't think there is much opportunity for a German teacher in Germany. :)
Hey Dominik! I don't know if anyone has addressed this question or not but how are people with disabilities treated in Germany? I am well aware that discrimination, unfortunately, exists all around the world. It's just that I want to know what to expect before going to Germany to visit one of my friends. I am curious to know how people with conditions such as Cerebral Palsy are perceived. Also, I love your blue hair! It's very cute!
Entschuldigen Sie. Ich hatte einen deutschen Abschluss aber dann habe ich zur meiner Heimat zurückgehen. Jetzt möchte ich noch mal nach Deutschland, um eine Arbeit zu finden. Nach Ihrer Meinung muss ich mich zumindest im meinem Bereich 5 Jahre beschäftigen. Bis heute habe ich nur vielleicht 2 jährige Erfahrung als Embedded Softwareentwickler. Darf ich mich noch um ein Visum zur Arbeitsuche in Deutschland bewerben ? Es freut mich sehr, um Sie kennenzulernen. Entschuldige ich mich wenn mein Deutsch manchmal nicht so gut ist. Danke sehr.
Yeah pictures on cv is strange for me, I think its a bad thing.
I work in southern germany though i cant speak much german (US company)
Why bad? They should know how the person looks like. We have the same!
Why should it matter what you look like for a job ?
Unless its a model or actor then it should be irrelevant.
Everybody wants good-looking staff like managers, flight attendants, etc. :)
Seems like a way to discriminate against someone, whether it be race, gender, age, disability, etc.
I have a bachelors from Georgia state in communications, i go to a german private uni with a good rep but no one will hire me. Im either over qualified or "my german isnt good enough. Im at b2. I also was told thay some hr departments just dont feel like dealing with the burden of foreign hires
I'm in the medical field and a lot of the research I've encountered indicates that Germany is seeking Indian and southeast Asian persons for the in demand medical jobs. What is your experience with Americans coming over to work in the medical field?
Would I be able to find a job as medical
Assistant in Germany? My German, from what I have been told, is petty good. I studied it for two years
I'm trying to find out about working in Germany while I learn German and it seems like everyone is talking about white collar and technical jobs. I'm currently getting my Heavy Goods Vehicle (Category C) licence and have no idea whether that would make me eligible for German driving jobs. :-(
Well, you didn't answer the last question fully. You told about the job seeker visa, but does applying from abroad (say UK) work? Do the companies prefer people already on job seeker visa in Germany over those applying from abroad given same qualifications?
I apologize, I forgot to ask this earlier. How do people with disabilities apply for a job in Germany? Are there any organizations that assist them?
Does marriage to a German citizen kind of by pass the need for a Masters Degree in college and 5 years of work related experience in the field of study?
I heard it takes time to apply for a job in Germany. I will try my best but I'm still wondering how much time I should give myself? Is there anyone who would like to share the experience? (I am a master in biochemistry)
Also, does it make difference chance if I am in Germany or out of Germany?
Some people spend up to one year even with a master's degree and get rejected over and over. Be patient is my only advice really.
I believe it would be easier while being in Germany but many companies offer job interviews via Skype or similar services if you can't be present in person!
It makes you grateful to have an EU passport ^^
Wait... You must have 5 Years of experience in order to get any job there?? I’m currently in a technical school and will graduate in December however do not have any experience in the related field.. Does this mean I will not be able to find a job there?
I have a question about education. I'm American and I'm currently going to a community college. When I graduate, I will get an associate's degree, which is half of a bachelor's degree. Why is it required to attend a four year University in the U.S. for at least one year before transferring to a University in Germany? What about after I get my associate's degree. That's the equivalent of going to a four year University for two years, but without actually going to a University.
Found the name a bit ironic ..Blü(Bold Like Us)but blue as the neue haar farbe und ex von Australia
Same here, haha. I had to think of the same thing ^^
hey, one question: I have reference letters from my previous job but should i also prove my working period at my previous company (for example, i had worked there for 2 years, the recruiters who are interested in me will ask for a document proving my 2 years of experience? Is it something very common to prove it in Germany?) Because i didn't get any document like that:/
In the future I'm planning on becoming a English teacher in Germany, is it possible if I start leaning German language now? Get certificates at University, because we have classes to learn? I'm just out of high school.
Hey could you do a video on Germany's gun laws?
You are in luck :) Such a video will come out this Sunday!
Hello Dominik,
Are bonuses normal in Germany? What about a 13th monthly wage (a.k.a. the Christmas bonus)?
Hi ,would you please answer if an international student with a good base of german and english can pay her costs by working part time ? Is it difficult to find a part time job?i mean is it possible if you don’t get a job at all?In cities like leipzig or aachen
Thnx for the great videos
My question is when will you guys create the new Kaiserreich?
How do you go about getting your qualifications/certifications recognized in Germany? I've seen many job descriptions that say don't apply unless you have had your certifications recognized by the state etc.
Well, Germany is hungry for qualified people and German employers will adapt to the new world. In the IT industry, no one cares about German or Recommendation Letters. Experienced software engineer based in Germany will be contacted by German Recruiters every day, sometimes multiple times in a day.
Cool blue
hello, what are the best city for job construction like housing or roads in Germany? Tanks for the response. Good video!

I was wondering how hard it would be to study law and then practice law in Germany?
whom do germans (all classes)prefer for health checkup? will they goto coloured skin female doctors for checkup if working in private hospital or own practise or feel offended?
I don't think most people would care! :)
What if you don't have a degree, but experiences in different work areas?

You’re so goofy 😂 I love it
Can I start doing part time job in the first semester in Germany.
How to learn Germany ，do you have any suggestions?
Networks..GSM should be
Bottom line, all the formal aspects of the job application are examined rigourously in Germany, a good command of the language being perhaps the most important of them for any non-German fella wanting to land a job there. Good video, and a comprehensive explanation.
good Man ✌
How would it be like for someone with a couple face tats in germany?
