Germany faces a critical labor shortage in key sectors like tech, healthcare, and education, leading the government to promote immigration policies aimed at attracting skilled workers. However, many foreign job seekers find the reality to be starkly different from expectations. Key challenges include difficulties in applying from abroad, as employers prefer local candidates. Factors such as cultural differences in job application procedures and the emphasis on face-to-face interviews further complicate the hiring process for those not already present in Germany. This divergence creates a tough environment for newcomers seeking employment.
Applying from abroad is unlikely to work; your chances of finding a good job rise exponentially if you're actually in the country.
While it is technically possible to apply for work in Germany from abroad, in practice your chances of finding a good job rise exponentially if you're actually in the country.
Employers are likely to follow the path of least resistance; faced with two candidates with similar qualifications, most will opt for those already in Germany.
Germany's labour market, despite the government’s push to attract skilled migrants, is challenging for foreign job seekers due to cultural and procedural hurdles.
