Many foreigners are trying to find jobs in Germany.
Although the economy is doing well and there are manpower shortages in many industries, it is not easy and requires good preparation (and luck) to find one.

As everywhere, the most important factors are
- Skills: Do you have a (recognised) university degree, other educational certificates, and/or several years good working experience in areas with high demand? There is very little demand for unskilled labour or fresh graduates.
- Language: Good German language skills (B2 level or better) are required any job that needs to liase with customers, suppliers, partners or colleagues - and that means almost all jobs!
- Visa: EU citizens and others with existing work permits (e.g. on a family reunion visa) have a huge advantage, as they can join any company freely and without additional paperwork required. For others, the job market will be limited and they need to convince the employer that hiring them is worth the extra effort and risk.

Job openings can be found through online ads (e.g. on Stepstone or similar portals) or headhunters (which in turn you find on Stepstone). Unsolicited applications are also welcomed by German companies and often open up opportunities that you won't find in job ads.
Your application letter, consisting of CV and cover letter, must be well written (nice layout, no grammar or language mistakes!), targeted (do research about the company first!) and convincing (focus on what you can and will do for the company!).
Interviews are usually in person (although a first screening might be done by phone). Styles differ between companies and individuals, so be prepared for the unexpected. You must present yourself well, incl. in punctuality, grooming and dressing.
After an interview (or sometimes several interviews), the company sends either a rejection letter or an offer. Negotiations about salary, etc. will only start after that (do not ask before!).

Are you looking job in Germany?

I was working for a German company in England before I moved to Dresden in Germany.
Mainly they look for good attitude and flexibility of learning new things like learning German language and adapting to German culture.

I am still learning and trying to understand the German culture.
