The good news is that YES<\/strong>, it’s POSSIBLE to find English speaking jobs in Germany.\u00a0<\/strong>The not-so-good-news is that finding an English-speaking position depends on how in demand your skills, educational background and professional training are.<\/p>\n

There are of course self-employment options such as working from home, or online teaching jobs. But in this article we’ll focus on full time and part time work\u00a0for a German employer.<\/em><\/p>\n

You need to have realistic expectations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you consider how few jobs are available in the UK, US or Australia without fluent English skills, then it’s not surprising to discover that the majority of jobs in Germany will require you to speak German.<\/p>\n

It seems so obvious we shouldn’t need to say it, but sadly there’s still a perception that Germany is like Dubai or Singapore.<\/p>\n

Newsflash, it’s not. So I’m afraid you will need some solid preparation and a well thought out strategy.<\/p>\n

If you’re willing to put in some hard work, then you’ll discover there are still plenty of opportunities, especially if you’re a professional with in-demand skills that the German economy needs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

English Speaking Jobs in Germany: This isn’t Dubai or Singapore…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The language of industry and commerce in Germany is overwhelmingly German.<\/p>\n

If you’re in a client-facing role, or if the roles and responsibilities of your job bring you into contact with blue collar German workers, you’ll need business fluency in German.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, how are you going to communicate?<\/p>\n

The first thing you should consider in your job search is: Why should a German employer hire you?<\/a> What makes you special?<\/p>\n

It’s about THEM, not about how well qualified or experienced you are. If you need a work permit, then you’ll need to offer something that the local labour market is short of.<\/p>\n

There is certainly no shortage of English-speaking HR Managers, or Digital Marketing Executives, or Sales Professionals.<\/p>\n

But look towards STEM professions (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), and the situation is very different.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What’s Your Strategy? Not Got One…You Need One<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Looking for opportunities which are “off the beaten track” is also more likely to net you success than applying speculatively to well-known companies which openly have a hiring in English policy.<\/p>\n

For the gentlemen\u00a0reading this, we all know how hard it was to date the most popular girl at school. The same logic applies to finding\u00a0English speaking jobs in Germany<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Don’t chase what everyone else is chasing. Be more creative and strategic to bag that perfect job in a competitive market.<\/p>\n

It Depends On The Seniority Of The Position<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is arguably the most critical factor.<\/p>\n

The rule of thumb is: The more senior the role, the less important it is to be fluent in German, especially in multinational, foreign-owned companies.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why is this?<\/p>\n

More senior level positions tend to play in a more international environment.<\/strong> If the company is multinational, these positions will interact with their peers in many different countries rather than in a single production facility or local headquarters.<\/p>\n

Entry-level positions and jobs which require a lot of day-to-day interaction with blue collar workers are much more likely to require German language out of necessity.<\/p>\n

It Depends On The Role And The Industry<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some industries and job types<\/a>\u00a0are by nature less dependent upon language skills.<\/p>\n

You’re less likely to need fluent German if you work as a programmer or software engineer than if you work in a client or customer-facing role such as Sales & Marketing or Project Management, dealing primarily with German-speaking clients.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It goes without saying that any position requiring communication skills or interaction with clients, customers, and external suppliers is going to be trickier if you don’t speak the native language.<\/p>\n

Outside of the private sector, academia, international charities and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are also good hunting ground for English speaking jobs in Germany. These are liberal and multicultural organisations which often have to search further afield than the local candidate pool to recruit real experts in their field.<\/p>\n

It Depends On The Size Of The Company<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Larger multinationals are more likely to adopt English as the international language of business. This not only applies to foreign corporations but also some\u00a0larger German firms too.<\/p>\n

Medium sized, family owned businesses are much less likely to offer jobs in English, although ironically, these are the very companies that are most struggling with a skills gap for essential vacancies.<\/p>\n

It Depends On Your Experience<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s going to be easier for a candidate with 5+ years of work experience to find an English speaking job\u00a0than a fresh university graduate.<\/p>\n

Again, this goes back to why should a company hire you? What’s in it for them if you need a work permit and aren’t fluent in German?<\/p>\n

The exception to this rule is that you do see some entry-level positions advertised, especially in industries which require English-speakers to deal with the international market or which may operate in an English speaking environment.<\/p>\n

Employers will usually want to see some relevant qualifications and some work experience though, so the market is tough for recent graduates with very little practical experience.<\/p>\n

Get A Head Start On The Competition!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

We’ve touched on the fact that this is a competitive market.<\/p>\n

So, what to do?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Do whatever you can to look where your competition isn’t looking. Applying for the exact same jobs everyone else has seen on well-known job search sites is like being in the express lane towards lots of rejection letters!<\/p>\n

I’m not saying don’t apply AT ALL for any roles you see on job sites or on LinkedIn, but certainly don’t follow this as your sole strategy. Why? Because I guarantee everyone else is looking there too.<\/p>\n

Your Network is your Net Worth<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everyone has a valuable network of contacts, even if they don’t realise it.<\/p>\n

Look further than your “obvious” contacts. Who else do you know who could help you? Maybe they know someone who knows someone who can hook you up.<\/p>\n

This is what is known as a dormant network: A “sleeping”\u00a0network, which you may not even know exists but has the potential to be extremely powerful in your search.<\/p>\n

Some examples….definitely a non-exhaustive list.<\/p>\n
