Available jobs in Germany
There’s a shortage of skilled workers in many professions in Germany. These include
qualified engineers (mechanical, automotive, electrical and building), scientists, mathematicians, IT specialists and both hospital doctors and GPs. Professionals with vocational qualifications are also in demand in certain fields (see here for a list). With an increasingly older population, workers in the geriatric, health and nursing professions are also in short supply. English teaching, casual work and hospitality jobs are also available.
German work environment and management culture
The average working week is just over 38 hours, with a minimum of 18 days holiday a year.
The German organisational culture is hierarchical, with strong management. Germans work

reaching compliance and a final decision. Time is a well-defined concept and people are
very punctual, and you should be too in any professional environment. A national minimum
wage of EUR 10.50 per hour was adopted in 2016.

from their local Alien’s Authority.
