New Strategies for the Job Hunt

- chapter excerpt - 

Individuals looking for a job in Germany should be sure to approach the application process with several different strategies.

The number and quality of jobs in an export-oriented and high-cost country like the Federal Republic of Germany is very much dependent on the condition of the global economy as well as the successful transport of goods and services. For this reason, it is not surprising that the labor market figures in recent years have been on a roller coaster ride, showing both strong positive and negative trends.

For the current year 2011, all employment indicators look good, and to help you in your job search, you should be sure to take note of the following:

• Read through the job postings in German newspapers and magazines
• Surf the German employment web sites on the Internet
• Contact a personnel consultant
• Keep on the look-out for job fairs and visit them
• Visit industry fairs
• Go to the German employment agency
• Send “blind” applications
• Post your resume on Internet recruiting sites
• Seek employers via the Internet, look for any job offerings or job postings and application possibilities
• Seek out industry-specific publications and web sites for employment ads or postings
• Join professional organizations to build a network (see Chapter “Building a successful network”)
• Tell your friends and professional acquaintances that you are looking for employment
• Work for temporary employment agencies to become known by and to get to know different businesses

...

Job searches on the Internet
Looking for jobs posted on the Internet and then sending an application per e-mail or over an online form is a standard strategy in every comprehensive job search. To seek for a job we suggest to make use of a job scout e.g.

• Marketing jobs – search for work in Germany at jobisjob.de
