Looking for a job in Germany

sideshow_2

... or at least a job i can do based in Germany. At the moment i'm working for Lionbridge, but looking for another source of income. Telework on the computer only.
Any idea is welcome!

Hi,

depends on what you want to do and whether you speak German or not. I came to live in the UK from Germany over 5 years ago now. I often get approached by German companies via LinkedIn as it states on my profile that I speak German.

Other than that I would have a look at the German equivalent of Monster or approach employment agencies in Germany.

I would still say it's is difficult for someone who doesn't speak German to find a job in Germany but it can work. I have a friend working for a large organisation who just got transferred to Germany so that is another option: looking for a job in a British company that has strong ties to Germany and hoping for a transfer.

Hey,

thanx for your reply. I'm a native speaker, but find it hard to find work online (from home). Someone just gave me the advice to use LinkedIn as well - so i might give it a try!
Other job markets i check regularly.

How about freelance translation work? I have no experience in it, but I see that there are lots of freelance translation work on sites like elance.com.
