From navigating job-seeker visas to mastering the German application style and landing interviews from anywhere in the world.
What you will get out of this session:
- Moving without a job offer: Understanding your legal pathways, including the Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte) and traditional job-seeker options. You will learn how the points-based system works and how to leverage it.
- Meet the requirements: A clear checklist of what you need to qualify as an international job-seeker (degrees, skill recognition, language proficiency, and financial self-sufficiency).
- The "German-style" application: How to tailor your CV and cover letter to match German standards. We’ll discuss what to include, what to leave out, and how to pass both the ATS algorithms and the HR screening to land interview invitations.
- On-the-ground job hunting: Tactical advice for those already in Germany. How to effectively network, utilize local job portals, tap into the "hidden" job market, and legally transition from a job-seeker or student visa to a full work permit.
