Finding a job in Munich
It may be a tough market, but finding a job in Munich is possible. As with any country in the world, all that is required is determination, patience, and a systematic approach to the job hunting process. It's also highly beneficial to be able to speak some German, so it is recommended that expats should make attending a course at language school a priority.
The first step to finding a job in Munich is to update your CV - German style! There are many web sites that offer tips on format and content. One thing to remember is to have a German version of your CV on hand, which must be translated by a qualified translator. Even though there are many job opportunities for English speaking expats, it's a good idea to include a translated CV, as potential hiring managers may not necessarily speak English as their first language.
The next step is to start hunting. There are many web sites and newspapers that list vacancies, as well as recruitment agencies that will help you find your dream job. Some of the larger agencies are Allbecon Agency and Euro London Appointments Munich, both of which list jobs in English. Two of the more popular web sites are Arbeitsagentur.de and Careerbuilder.de.
