Applying to Germany

Hello All, I am a backend engineer with over 6 years of experience and I have been trying to apply to jobs in Germany. I'm using LinkedIn, arbeitnow and a couple of other websites. Is there a whatsapp or discord group for people who are serious about applying to Germany ? If so it would be helpful for people to join and discuss the entire process

A quick tip as a frontend dev. Try to contribute to opensource projects on GitHub and look for open positions in orgs like vercel, supabase.

I’m thinking about getting my master's there, but I guess there is a long process for it. You need to submit SOP; I think speaking German was waived off sometime back, but it’ll be required to converse with locals. Don't know how to apply for jobs, I don’t think you’ll get them directly unless you have some strong references.

I’m a hiring manager working in Germany for a German company and I’ve hired many people for non-EU locations like India. AMA if you have any questions.

What kind of roles do you hire for?

Couple of questions: 1) Is it better to use the German format for the CV some people say yes but I've seen hiring managers say that they hate it 2) I see many jobs with lots of applicants (like around 70 etc) does it make sense to apply for roles as soon as they are posted to make sure mine gets viewed quickly? Kind of like a first come first serve 3) I have been trying to send emails as well to recruiters in addition to applying to the job posting but I'm not sure if that shows interest or if it's just annoying 4) is there anything specific you think I can do to show recruiters that I really am interested in working at their company other than the usual fluff speech ?

I already have started to apply there as well. Also one question do you apply to jobs which have the description in German as well? Or do you stick to English

Apply on those too. Most of the time recruiters names are provided. You can try connecting with them on LinkedIn or directly mail them.

From what I've seen there's vacancies for most dev roles it's getting in that's a bit difficult

If you interested, you should try Booking.com (Amsterdam), they hire a lot from India- maybe checkout people who are from India working in Germany what are the common things incorporate that on your LinkedIn profile and then reapply.

Search for jobs in Germany

It has come to light that 53% of companies in Germany are reporting shortages. In view of this the German parliament has approved a new immigration law designed to attract skilled workers. Does anyone know what might be the best possible way to search for jobs in Germany from India. https://indianexpress.com/article/world/german-parliament-immigration-law-attract-skilled-workers-8682357/

Thoughts on moving to Germany

I have over 7 years of experience in social and content marketing. At this point in my journey I'm looking at a transition in my role and industry. I have been considering doing an MBA. While doing it in India is still an option, Germany looks like a realistic option as well. I want to know from people who have had 1st hand experience in studying + working in Germany and how your experience and process was. All ears!

Roadmap to moving out!

I will have experience of 4yrs(Mobile app dev and C++ embeded systems/automation) by this September as a software engineer. I did dream of moving out and working abroad, maybe in Germany or some place else if opportunity serves. Now how do I proceed for this. How do I apply for jobs abroad. Any specific platform? And if incase I wanna target Germany, do I need to learn German first? Any and all suggestions welcomed.

Best hiring application?

I always thought that LinkedIn is the only place to get a decent job for Software Developer professionals. Is there any other app which should be considered for switching?
