Do I need German to find a job in Germany?
Learning German is crucial for finding a job in Germany due to several important reasons. First and foremost, German is the official language of the country, and having a strong command of the language is highly valued by employers. Fluency in German enables effective communication in the workplace, fostering better collaboration and understanding with colleagues, clients, and superiors.
Moreover, knowing German opens up a wider range of job opportunities, as many positions require proficiency in the language. It demonstrates your commitment to integrating into the local culture and shows employers that you are willing to adapt and immerse yourself in the German work environment. Enrol now and learn German fast with this course.
Additionally, learning German provides a competitive edge over other candidates, especially in sectors that primarily operate in the local language, such as customer service, healthcare, legal, and government sectors. Overall, mastering the German language significantly increases your employability and enhances your prospects of finding a rewarding job in Germany.
The official Websites of the German Government for finding Jobs in Germany
If you are looking for a permanent job or Internship you must not miss taking a look at the Federal Employment Agency. It is always recommended to know the German language if you are planning to relocate to Germany, however, there are still some English-speaking jobs in Germany. Honestly speaking, the competition for those English-speaking jobs is very high.
The Networking Portals
Business networks offer an important advantage when you are applying for jobs: connections. You can market yourself, get in touch with companies, or catch up with former colleagues. The German platform Xing and its American counterpart LinkedIn are the Facebooks of job boards. Now I didn’t mention Facebook for Jobs here because I haven’t noticed much around that. It helps only sometimes like when you are looking for Mini Jobs or Part-Time Jobs in Germany.
As I mentioned in the video, do consider connecting with professionals on Xing and Linkedin to know more about the company apart from applying for jobs published on these portals.
The General List / Job Boards
General job boards cover all occupations, sectors and regions of Germany. All types of companies publish their ads in them. The best generalist which you need to keep a check for, are StepStone Germany and Indeed.de. Several job portals and online platforms are dedicated to connecting job seekers with English-speaking opportunities in Germany.
I personally found my job on Indeed, so if you are looking for a Job in Germany then I am sure you will find something below.
- StepStone
- Indeed
- Monster
- Jobrapido
- Glassdoor
- Joblift
- Honeypot.io
- Staufenbiel
- Jobvector
- TheLocalDE
- Workwise
- English Jobs DE

The Start-up Jobs
Finding a job in Germany is really tricky when it is the case when you don’t know where and how to look for it. If you are looking for getting a VISA sponsorship then many Startups in Germany do give you this option of VISA sponsorship to move to Germany from India.
After all, all you need to have is a job offer in your hand before applying for Employment Visa in the German Embassy of your country.

Hi Eri,
For JSV it’s mentioned that 5 years of minimum experience is required in suitable domain. I’m working in Pharmacovigilance (pharma sector) so do I need to complete first my 5 years or I can directly apply.
What do you suggest?
Thank You

For Job Seeker Visa, people always recommend coming with 5 years of experience. This work experience criterion is not mentioned anywhere on the Visa checklist. So, it is not a mandatory rule to come with an exact 5 years of experience, sometimes you can also get JSV with 3-4 years of experience.
Hi Eri,
