It's really interesting how Canadians like Germany. I attended an International School in Germany and my English teacher was from Canada. He permanently moved to Germany and liked the country so much that he applied for German citizenship and he got it.
Yes, there really seems to be a German Canadian cross-fascination. My husband is Canadian, I'm German, and I wanted to live in Canada, He wanted to live in Germany 😀 In the end the circumstances forced us to go to Germany for the time being (we spent a year in Canada though) but at some point we might go back to Canada and I how we will.
I never thought about the German resume type. I spent months applying and got very little interviews and no job offers. I'm thinking of moving to Berlin next year. Thank you for the tip.
@@H-DA I work in IT. System Administration and I know that Germany is in need of IT professionals with experience, so I thought it was weird that I wasn't getting much interest.
Hey girl! I am also from Toronto and don't speak any German but am considering a change and wanted to move to Berlin for school and possibly, work in the future. This is so refreshing to hear as I just got back from travelling Germany a week ago but can't wait to be back next year! I will definitely be checking out your ebook!
worked in Frankfurt,Berlin but settled in lubeck. stayed there for 4.5 years .... one of the most beautiful countries ive ever lived/worked in. the people,the city,the atmosphere ,the friends i made ...you name it ... the only reason i left the country is me being offered a better paying job with a multinational in dubai ..... but eventually ill be going back to germany.. the germans are the most helpful,empathetic,compassionate,kind hearted,good-natured people ive ever met . if i to donate to a country to make it better, its 110% germany
Meanwhile I and my husband are considering of moving from Germany to Ontario. We've been working here for almost 2 year, 16 mos to be exact and we really do have difficulty because of the language. Lucky of you guys that there is available work in your field that do not require you to speak the language. :) Suggestion, could you also do a comparative video about the differences of social service of Canada and Germany? :) Ihre Videos sind hilfreich. Alles gute and viel erfolg zu Ihre Zukunft. :)
Hello Diana, as a german i love your videos. They help me to get a different point of view about many things i was used to living in germany. Working in an HR department I would try to help with some of the questions here as i know german working culture is different than in many other countries. On the one hand we have a lot of little laws to protect the employees many people for foreign countries don't know about and on the other hand because of our dual education system it is hard for people from other countries to get a job as they don't have anything comparing to an germany apprenticeship.
Hi Diana, very nice to hear some tips and encouragement about working and living in Germany, I think it stimulates me to realize one of my dreams of working in Germany, which is long harbored ago yet hasn't been kicked off, I would be much appreciated if you have any more tips on that. Dank schön.
Thank you for this video. Super inspiring. I am also starting a new life in a foreign country and it's getting frustrating but this video gave me inspiration to keep going. Thank you very much for sharing. Keep it up and congratulations!
I’ve been following you for a while and just subscribed. Hopefully I’m moving to Munich next year. I’ve been living in Japan for a little over 4 years now
Thank you for sharing your story, It inspires me a lot. I am not a native English speaker(I'm from Asian country) , my job isn't highly technical so it'd be really hard for me to move to Germany.. So I was a bit pessimistic about it but got energy to make it! Thank you very much :)
Very interesting video, i really like those kind of videos, total respect for both of you, making a move like that to a country you both don't really know, with a foreign language, some cultural differences and anything else. Taking the risks without knowing what will happen. That's awesome, absolutely impressive. I am glad that you two find a nice place to live in Germany and i am a little bit proud that this place is my hometown Berlin.
@@DianaVerry it's an good example for other people to try something, if you are not happy in the moment, take your life in your own hands, look for new chances and go on.
Hi, question. What kind of education should you need to apply for a job in Germany? Is a degree sufficient? idk if im asking the right question. What i'm getting at is, are starter jobs also available? I hope I'm asking the right questions. I'm learning German (can speak at an A1 probably A2 level) would this increase my chances to finding a job? Looking for a fresh start and Deutschland is a great spot :)
Nice story. I got a job in Germany 25 years ago; I was hired away from a job State-side by a client firm to help them build up their international business. I made my own way, all before FaceBook, TH-cam, mobile phones, etc.. Just figured it out. Didn't need an e-book.
Times have changed. Immigration policies have become more complicated. My dad immigrated to Canada with $200 in his pocket 30 years ago. Definitely not possible today 😕
@@caciliawhy5195 Actually, it was. There was more paperwork that had to be completed by hand and get stamped -- fewer online opportunities to get or submit documents; there were more classifications of work and residence statuses before the Aufenthaltsgesetzreform of 2005; the people at the Ausländeramt were not so friendly (maybe that's still the same) and they didn't speak English; the level of information given to me and my employer wasn't always very clear or consistent depending on the Sachbearbeiter; the information was pretty much only in German; there were not many non-EU foreign nationals working in Berlin in the mid-90's, so there were fewer precedent cases; there were few multinationals & HR teams that had experience with hiring non-EU's and as a result, the barriers to entry were higher for us; the level of general information and counseling, like Diana is offering, just wasn't around. With the enlargement of the EU there are indeed now more candidates, making it harder to prove the case for a non-EU candidate. Otherwise I'm not seeing how it's more complicated. Happy to learn otherwise.
How possible is it for an immigrant to get a job without work experience yet ? Just graduated from University and haven't gained proper work experience but available to be trained or groomed on the work pattern of the company or firm
Well it isnt hard to get a job in germany. The question is how good the position is. Do you want to work for 2200 netto after masters degree, do you want to learn the language and invest in it at least 2 years and 5000 euro?! So if you make 2200 netto and you have to pay 600 euro a small room, after all costs, the best what you can save is 800 euro. Do you think it pays off to work from 8:00 to 17:00 so you can save 10 k euros pro year...
I wonder too, what does she do and earn? If she works in a customer service center, the pay isn't great. Ok if you're young, but it's not a great long-term strategy. Especially without speaking German.
@@Amy-abc Well in germany you can earn better than 2500 euro only if you are a doctor. All other occupations such are engineers, and IT people earn not so much. Like after uni, without experience you can get 2200, with experince and if you have leading position it goes hard above 3500. Should i say that you cant find a house in row under 500 k?! I speak for area around bigger cities, such are Köln, Frankfurt. In München it isnt even posible to find an 2 room apartment for 500 k. I live here almost 2 years. can i pay my apartment yes. can i buy food? yes. Can i go to travel once a year? Yes. What can i save with normal living style. Almost nothing. Not because i dont know how to save but because there is no magic to make of 2200 euro something special.
@@matijabeljo5419 You're right - salaries have stagnated in Germany. The rate of salary increase the past decade or so has been one of the slowest in Europe. (I think WEF might have more on this). And in cities esp. FFM, where I last lived, the cost of housing is exploding. Also in Berlin; friends of mine bought flats there for €80k 10 years ago that would sell almost double. The housing inflation has hit DE. That said, it is possible to earn more than €3k/month, and without a PhD. I have an MBA and was earning around €9k, which is normal for my level and field. But again, you're right, the salary threshholds for jobs like Engineers is sinking. Look up Lohndumping, esp. in regards hiring foreign job candidates.
@@Amy-abc and i dont think it is going to be anytime soon better. From 2020 can anyone from all around the world to germany come and get a job. Pretty sure people that come from asia or afrika are going to work for less. And that was government's plan. I have heard there are limits like engineers cant work under 40 k, but i dont think thats going to help. And then again we are going to have a GAP between salayr and costs of living.

Nice video. Im a German living in Oakville. Germany is so different - as is Europe. Germany can be so progressive, but also so backwards at the sane time. (Think banking) I still love to visit. but I enjoy my life here on the lake in Oakville, Canada
Als Deutsche freue mich darüber, dass junge gut ausgebildete Leute in unser Land kommen und unsere Kultur bereichern. Allerdings finde ich es ausgesprochen schade, dass jemand, der sich offensichtlich entschieden hat, hierzubleiben, nicht gewillt ist, dafür auch die "Strapazen" auf sich zu nehmen, die deutsche Sprache zu erlernen. Das ist für mich keine gelungene Integration. Sicher ist Berlin eine Stadt in Deutschland, wo das besser geht als anderswo, aber gutheißen kann ich es trotzdem nicht. Leider trifft man diese Sprach-Ignoranz häufig bei englischsprachigen Menschen an, die es gewohnt sind, dass alle Welt in Englisch mit ihnen spricht. Gerade waren wir erst auf einer Reise durch Portugal und Spanien, wo man sich wirklich in jedem Laden auf Englisch verständigen konnte. Sind wir Europaer nicht klasse, dass das auf einem Kontinent mit so vielen verschiedenen Sprachen möglich ist? Und ist es da zu viel verlangt, wenn man sagt, dass, wer hier arbeiten und leben will, auch die deutsche Sprache lernt? Mir würde es nicht im Traum einfallen, in ein anderes Land zu gehen und mich dort permanent aufzuhalten, ohne ernsthaft die Sprache zu lernen. Das halte ich für ignorant und respektlos. Sorry Diana. Und ich finde es auch nicht gut, dass zu propagieren.
Hallo, Da kann ich nur zustimmen! People need to learn the language of the country they are moving to. Learn german don't be lazy or ignorant towards your new country. Resumes in Germany have more personal information included also a picture! Germans don't make friends quickly but if your accepted then you found a friend for life. Also they may appear rude sometimes compared to Americans who try to be "Happy" all the time. Germans show their feelings if they have a bad day and are never superficial. I am a German who is living in the United states and speak English and German and love both countrys. Good luck
Ich kann Ihnen nur zustimmen. Berlin wird meines Erachtens zu positiv beschrieben. Ohne Zweifel ist Berlin eine Stadt mit vielen ungelösten Problemen. Ohne die finanziellen Zuwendungen aus anderen Ländern wäre das Land schon längst bankrott. Deutschland ist auch kein reiches Land wie viele glauben und die Regierung immer wieder verlauten lässt. Wir stehen vor einem epochalen Crash, für den zum Beispiel Kanada besser vorbereitet sein wird als Deutschland. I couldn't agree with you more. In my opinion, Berlin is described too positively. Without doubt, Berlin is a city with many unsolved problems. Without the financial contributions from other countries, the country would have been bankrupt long ago. Germany is also not a rich country, as many believe and the government always says. We are facing an epochal crash for which, for example, Canada will be better prepared than Germany.

amazing videos! can you explain a bit more about work/life balance that you were able to achieve when moving to Berlin vs you "old life" back in Toronto?
to most german employees work/life balance is very important so the standard working contract talking about full time has 35-40 hours a weak. Overtime can happen but has to be ordered. Normally you weren't allowd to work more than 10 hours a day per law and you need to have a rest for at least 11 hours after work before you can start again. Also there were at least 4 weeks of paid holidays per year per law. In most companies 5-6 weeks are the standard. If you need some detailed information just ask.
Do you speak german now? And if so, how did you learn? Sorry if you have mentioned this before but i haven't seen a lot of your videos yet. Love your work, really helpful!
Have you been in any Germin city other than Berlin? I've heard that life in Berlin does not have quality like in other cities. Thanks for making these videos. Best wishes. :D
as i believe in every country you get it helps a lot speaking the language. in many big or international companies english is quite common in many smaller companies it is just german. Some german companies will make kind of agreement so you have to learn german within a year or two and sometimes they even pay for the trainings. On the other hand asking a german on the street if they can speak english they always will tell you not but just speaking to the in english might show you around 4 of 5 people were able to.
@@chaimaeazanountachfint6681 sorry, that is different and also depends on the size of the company. While most bigger companies might have standard courses for that, most smaller one will have to solve it individually. But that shouldn't be a big problem and i would suggest asking whether you get help with learning german in your interview as this also shows you are interested in learning the language what is important to understand part of the culture. As there are provider of language course in every bigger and even most of the small towns, for companies it is quite is to organize you help as they have some english courses for part of their staff as well.
GREAT story; I'm glad you're loving life over there!! And, DID you say YOU sent out CDs or CVs (curriculum vitae)?! Just curious. Of you said CD, I'm going to be totally confused!!😀
Normally you send out CVs (Lebenslauf in german buit CV is quite common). Letters of recommondation weren't normally used in germany as you have a right getting kind of certificate for every job you had with standard informations about what where your tasks in the job and how you done it, how you learn new tasks, how you behave and things like that so normally german employers look after that. Even if there weren't any negativ words allowed in it they can read out if you just did okay oder you were really good at it. If you worked for a big germany company in your homeland it might give you an advantage asking them for a certificate within german standards.
A lovely video again from your end. Please give some good idea regd Procurement / purchase job in Germany specially in pharma or FMCG etc industry?? I mean how is the availability of this job in german market and what is the minimum salary one can expect out of this Procurement / Purchase job?? Need this information very much and hoping you will provide. Thanks
Amazing! You just wanted a job in Berlin and not one of you, but both of you got one very quickly!! You make it sound so easy. What type of work do you both do? You don't mention that. I have heard the exact opposite; that you really have to have a skill that no other German applying has (God knows how many Germans are applying) and then they have to sponsor you, which they will not do now. And then if you don't have an apartment, you can't get a job and then if you don't have a job, you can't get an apartment. I can tell you that if you are a US citizen moving to Germany, or anywhere abroad, that you will end up paying double taxes. So essentially, if I want to move to Berlin, I will have to contend with being a pauper. There is another situation that you don't mention and that is age. Perhaps the Germans love people in their 20s, but if you are older than that then, oops that's it--you have no chance.
Hi diana! Watching here from Philippines , your new subscriber , asking if there's an opportunity work for with/without experienced? Then about the accommodation, if how much should i have to get there
in germany experience is very important as for most of the jobs you need some qualifications as in germany an 3 year apprenticeship with around half of the time inside the company and the other half going to specialised schools so called "Berufsschule" is standard for most jobs.
Hello Diana.. thank you for uploading these videos, they've been very helpfull and informative. Can you recommend a good website were I can start applying for a job in Berlin?
"Work visa" is called "Blue Card Germany/EU". You have to apply for a residence permit WITH a permission to work first, before you sign a employment contract! Check this: www.bluecard-eu.de/blaue-karte-eu-deutschland/arbeiten.html // www.schengenvisainfo.com/germany-visa/
Hello Diana...This Aadil from Mumbai, India I Had done MSc in chemistry and doing job in Chemical industrial Laboratory I just wanna know which kind of jobs available for foreigners in germany specially Laboratory industrial jobs and what are basics requirement...pls make full video on it and also covers vacancy availability frequency of chemical industrial Lab JOBS I just wanna finding from India only ..Thanks in Advanced
-_- I expected you to show us the real way to get a job in Germany but you're just selling the damn book. The only thing that I learned of this video was I gotta use the German format. -_-
Hi Daniel, it would be impossible to share all my tips and lessons in one video which is why I created the book. Also, if you read the title of this video, it's my story of how I found a job here. Good luck with your searc.
You will have to compete with any other (also german) scientists. If you are better or more useful than the 3800 unemployed german (and german speaking) biologists, you get fairly the same chance than they do. (By the way: there exist about 35000 jobs for graduated biologists all over germany -- existing, not vacant) So: If you have a rare qualification, you learned german in advance to a sufficant grade and your special expertise is needed somewhere, you have the same small chance as a german. You can not foul that by being cheaper, because wages are fix. At a university, giving lectures and so on is an integral part of the job and requires perfect german language skills. Good luck!

Thanks for your vedeos so motivating and consolidating my dreams of wanting to live a happy life in germany , i am a tech student in Algeria thanks
Thanks Amr! I’m glad I’m able to help. Good luck 😊
Nice video. Im a German living in Oakville. Germany is so different - as is Europe. Germany can be so progressive, but also so backwards at the sane time. (Think banking) I still love to visit. but I enjoy my life here on the lake in Oakville, Canada
Thanks for watching Tommy! There’s definitely pros and cons to both. But Oakville is beautiful and relaxing too 😊
You guys are brave!
Great you made it here. You are really a gain for Germany.
Als Deutsche freue mich darüber, dass junge gut ausgebildete Leute in unser Land kommen und unsere Kultur bereichern. Allerdings finde ich es ausgesprochen schade, dass jemand, der sich offensichtlich entschieden hat, hierzubleiben, nicht gewillt ist, dafür auch die "Strapazen" auf sich zu nehmen, die deutsche Sprache zu erlernen. Das ist für mich keine gelungene Integration. Sicher ist Berlin eine Stadt in Deutschland, wo das besser geht als anderswo, aber gutheißen kann ich es trotzdem nicht. Leider trifft man diese Sprach-Ignoranz häufig bei englischsprachigen Menschen an, die es gewohnt sind, dass alle Welt in Englisch mit ihnen spricht. Gerade waren wir erst auf einer Reise durch Portugal und Spanien, wo man sich wirklich in jedem Laden auf Englisch verständigen konnte. Sind wir Europaer nicht klasse, dass das auf einem Kontinent mit so vielen verschiedenen Sprachen möglich ist? Und ist es da zu viel verlangt, wenn man sagt, dass, wer hier arbeiten und leben will, auch die deutsche Sprache lernt? Mir würde es nicht im Traum einfallen, in ein anderes Land zu gehen und mich dort permanent aufzuhalten, ohne ernsthaft die Sprache zu lernen. Das halte ich für ignorant und respektlos. Sorry Diana. Und ich finde es auch nicht gut, dass zu propagieren.
Hallo,
Da kann ich nur zustimmen! People need to learn the language of the country they are moving to. Learn german don't be lazy or ignorant towards your new country. Resumes in Germany have more personal information included also a picture! Germans don't make friends quickly but if your accepted then you found a friend for life. Also they may appear rude sometimes compared to Americans who try to be "Happy" all the time. Germans show their feelings if they have a bad day and are never superficial. I am a German who is living in the United states and speak English and German and love both countrys. Good luck
Ich kann Ihnen nur zustimmen. Berlin wird meines Erachtens zu positiv beschrieben. Ohne Zweifel ist Berlin eine Stadt mit vielen ungelösten Problemen. Ohne die finanziellen Zuwendungen aus anderen Ländern wäre das Land schon längst bankrott. Deutschland ist auch kein reiches Land wie viele glauben und die Regierung immer wieder verlauten lässt. Wir stehen vor einem epochalen Crash, für den zum Beispiel Kanada besser vorbereitet sein wird als Deutschland.
I couldn't agree with you more. In my opinion, Berlin is described too positively. Without doubt, Berlin is a city with many unsolved problems. Without the financial contributions from other countries, the country would have been bankrupt long ago. Germany is also not a rich country, as many believe and the government always says. We are facing an epochal crash for which, for example, Canada will be better prepared than Germany.

amazing videos! can you explain a bit more about work/life balance that you were able to achieve when moving to Berlin vs you "old life" back in Toronto?
to most german employees work/life balance is very important so the standard working contract talking about full time has 35-40 hours a weak. Overtime can happen but has to be ordered. Normally you weren't allowd to work more than 10 hours a day per law and you need to have a rest for at least 11 hours after work before you can start again. Also there were at least 4 weeks of paid holidays per year per law. In most companies 5-6 weeks are the standard. If you need some detailed information just ask.
Do you speak german now? And if so, how did you learn? Sorry if you have mentioned this before but i haven't seen a lot of your videos yet. Love your work, really helpful!
thank you Diana!
Herzlich Willkommen in Berlin :)!
Hi! Thanks for making the great video. Where did you look for german jobs online?
Hey! Thanks for sharing your story! Which kind of visa did you get? A European blue card? Connected to your job?
Thanks!
Have you been in any Germin city other than Berlin? I've heard that life in Berlin does not have quality like in other cities. Thanks for making these videos. Best wishes. :D
I just moved to berlin and I am so excited!
Is the book for sale somewhere in store?
Hey babe! What is the working holiday visa? I'm in Josh's position relative to you and I need this badly
Beautiful advises
Hi! Were you required to have a German language certification to get your permit?
Welcome 🇩🇪, it is great to hear that you enjoy the country and Berlin.
Danke Bernd! 😊😊
What do you guys do in Germany?
thanks for this one dear
Great video! What about your German language skills?
as i believe in every country you get it helps a lot speaking the language. in many big or international companies english is quite common in many smaller companies it is just german. Some german companies will make kind of agreement so you have to learn german within a year or two and sometimes they even pay for the trainings. On the other hand asking a german on the street if they can speak english they always will tell you not but just speaking to the in english might show you around 4 of 5 people were able to.
@@chaimaeazanountachfint6681 sorry, that is different and also depends on the size of the company. While most bigger companies might have standard courses for that, most smaller one will have to solve it individually. But that shouldn't be a big problem and i would suggest asking whether you get help with learning german in your interview as this also shows you are interested in learning the language what is important to understand part of the culture. As there are provider of language course in every bigger and even most of the small towns, for companies it is quite is to organize you help as they have some english courses for part of their staff as well.
GREAT story; I'm glad you're loving life over there!! And, DID you say YOU sent out CDs or CVs (curriculum vitae)?! Just curious. Of you said CD, I'm going to be totally confused!!😀
Normally you send out CVs (Lebenslauf in german buit CV is quite common). Letters of recommondation weren't normally used in germany as you have a right getting kind of certificate for every job you had with standard informations about what where your tasks in the job and how you done it, how you learn new tasks, how you behave and things like that so normally german employers look after that. Even if there weren't any negativ words allowed in it they can read out if you just did okay oder you were really good at it. If you worked for a big germany company in your homeland it might give you an advantage asking them for a certificate within german standards.
A lovely video again from your end. Please give some good idea regd Procurement / purchase job in Germany specially in pharma or FMCG etc industry?? I mean how is the availability of this job in german market and what is the minimum salary one can expect out of this Procurement / Purchase job??
Need this information very much and hoping you will provide. Thanks
Actually entering Europe is my dream love and passion but how
Amazing! You just wanted a job in Berlin and not one of you, but both of you got one very quickly!! You make it sound so easy. What type of work do you both do? You don't mention that. I have heard the exact opposite; that you really have to have a skill that no other German applying has (God knows how many Germans are applying) and then they have to sponsor you, which they will not do now. And then if you don't have an apartment, you can't get a job and then if you don't have a job, you can't get an apartment. I can tell you that if you are a US citizen moving to Germany, or anywhere abroad, that you will end up paying double taxes. So essentially, if I want to move to Berlin, I will have to contend with being a pauper. There is another situation that you don't mention and that is age. Perhaps the Germans love people in their 20s, but if you are older than that then, oops that's it--you have no chance.
Hi means u applied a work from Canada?
Don't lose your time, she doesn't gonna even answer you anyway.

Is a college degree necessary to obtain employment as an American (expat) in Germany?
I'm in Asia ctries Qatar but I need a job serious but how I can make it sister
So what are the differences between a north american resume vs. German style?
Hi diana! Watching here from Philippines , your new subscriber , asking if there's an opportunity work for with/without experienced? Then about the accommodation, if how much should i have to get there
in germany experience is very important as for most of the jobs you need some qualifications as in germany an 3 year apprenticeship with around half of the time inside the company and the other half going to specialised schools so called "Berufsschule" is standard for most jobs.
Any suggestion, what is the best shipping company to move your items across the world?
Hello Diana.. thank you for uploading these videos, they've been very helpfull and informative. Can you recommend a good website were I can start applying for a job in Berlin?

Hello there,
Did you already have a job offer when you applied for the work visa?
"Work visa" is called "Blue Card Germany/EU". You have to apply for a residence permit WITH a permission to work first, before you sign a employment contract! Check this: www.bluecard-eu.de/blaue-karte-eu-deutschland/arbeiten.html // www.schengenvisainfo.com/germany-visa/
Where do you apply to jobs?

Hi Daniel, it would be impossible to share all my tips and lessons in one video which is why I created the book. Also, if you read the title of this video, it's my story of how I found a job here. Good luck with your searc.
Hi. Great info. Congrats. At the time, you didn't speak the "language", but you did speak English....quite a small detail....Isn't it?
I was quite surprised to hear a Canadian girl call an apartment a flat 🤣
What about with no degree?
Is your apartment pet friendly? Or does it vary per policy?
It will vary from building to building and also the preferences of the landlord 😊
I love traveling a lot. Please how much was your budget backpacking all over Europe n Asia. ???

Thank u very much madam
Are you looking for a job?
Was für ein Musterbeispiel für Integration
❤️ -willkommen
I wondered if there's a job for me as biologist and Filipino 🤔
You will have to compete with any other (also german) scientists. If you are better or more useful than the 3800 unemployed german (and german speaking) biologists, you get fairly the same chance than they do. (By the way: there exist about 35000 jobs for graduated biologists all over germany -- existing, not vacant) So: If you have a rare qualification, you learned german in advance to a sufficant grade and your special expertise is needed somewhere, you have the same small chance as a german. You can not foul that by being cheaper, because wages are fix. At a university, giving lectures and so on is an integral part of the job and requires perfect german language skills. Good luck!
What about making an energy contract the cheapest
