Very Valid points and amazing gesture from you Jegan to share this info. My 2 cents that could perhaps give a bit more insights on this - Setting our expectations on savings - this is not the same for expats working temporarily and for guys seeking relocation and permanent migration. Second would be the local language. Based on country being targetted, its best to have the basic level certification already done back in India and never pause learnign the language as majority of us indians take a hit due to language barrier in the country where job might have good amount of dependency/interactions with people not speaking a word of English.
Many many thanks for your all efforts dear sir you are really diligent person iam really appreciate it I am searching job for. Germany but. Please tell good company name
did you get probation period? what was the notice period for your job? two weeks? if it was 2 weeks didn't that scare you? München is quite expensive .. how did you manged Apartment? many question regarding how you would come from India to Germany while they can fire you only after 2 weeks.
So many questions, let me try one by one. Yes I had 6 months probation. My notice period was manageable for me and didn't scare me. I stayed initially in Nuremberg, bit far from Munich. There also it was difficult but somehow after a 45 days hotel stay and continuous search I found a place to stay. Not every company fires people within one or two weeks. So don't be worried, if you get a good salary from a stable company, you can definitely consider Germany.
Sir. But I feel relocation is a one-time expense. If we are getting good a job with good company, but if that company is not providing relocation but it is perfect in terms if career prospects and growth, then we can bear the one-time relocation expense.

currently have a student visa for Germany and my_qualifications are 3 years of experience in QA software testing. So I was thinking whether I should choose the path of student visa and try for jobs and convert it into work, since I lost interest in masters. Or should I apply from India itself for jobs that offer visa sponsorship or come there in job seeker visa and try or trying for a job in student visa and converting it. I am totally confused on making a decision, your suggestions will be a huge help to me.
It may not be a direct answer but student & job seeker visa routes are expensive ones. Searching for a job from home country is a slow path. There are positives & negatives in each route. But in general, for QA testing, there are good number of jobs in Germany. I have seen many got jobs from home country itself. If you are getting good number of responses for your applications, then searching for a job from home country makes sense. If not, student or JSV is the way to go.
Have you already got a job contract? If so, you should be able to apply for normal work permit instead of blue card. That is my assumption. But if you already got job, then your employer can also help.
Sorry, I do not know about this field. But you can try to follow this approach I discussed in this video and find the demand for your role - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cf7G9A7KRVo.html
Hi I was a sr. Chemist (Microbiology) in a quality control department of a diagnostic company. Post pregnancy I have to quit my job in 2010. I have learned the German language till B1 level. Can you please guide me.
Hi Deepthi, Unfortunately I do not provide any specific assistance as such. Since I doing this only during my free time, I am not able to do such assistance at this moment. But I can try sharing some useful content to support your job search.
Hi Sir, If you're mentioning about jobs, then there are opportunities for apprenticeship or internships. In my opinion, possiblity for finding fresher jobs in Germany from outside is very little. But if he is already studying in Germany, then the chances are really high.
I got interviewed by jegan few months back it was a great learning experience, just found your channel Jegan thanks for sharing this content and your experience
Yes. You can try. Unfortunately, in my experience I have not seen any freshers directly getting job from India to Germany. But I observed in some other youtube channels, such people giving interviews.
Respected Jegan, I am Sourav Mukherjee, will reach Germany in JOb Seeker VISA , Your video is really informative and helpful to me. Could you please help me to find very cheapest, shared accomodation details with me. Thank YOu
Hi brother good clarification. I have some doubts. 1. Please mention your ans your frnd company. 2. How you get accommodation. If we come how yo get it.
Hello Brother, 1. That was my previous employer, you can take a look at my LinkedIn profile. 2. I found it through one of my colleagues for my first accommodation. Later on, I used immobilienscout24 website and dasgelbeblatt newspaper classifieds. I also had made a video about finding an apartment with different ways, please have a look for detailed info.
Lol freshers don't get jobs anywhere, people don't understand in college internship experience is so important - anyone get up to 2 years of exp within college
My experience shows that minimum of 3 yrs work experience is usually required. But there should be possibilities to find internship and apprenticeship for freshers.

Hi Jegan sir, u have given a valuable information in all ur videos , which is very useful in finding a better job and career growth.I just want to clarify one doubt that, what is the minimun salary to get the german work permit in order not to reject the application while applying for work permit.
Hi Murali, Thanks. I do not find any minimum level salary for work permit. The lowest salary I saw is 32k euro per annum. That comes as normal work visa. (D Type). Generally work permit visa does not get rejected due to salary limit (at least I have not seen till now). But my suggestion is to aim for a minimum salary that is more than 46k. With this you could apply for blue card. (a special type of visa with more benefits).
I am having 3.9 years of experience as software Engineer, but I would like to move as devops Engineer to Germany, is there any scope for me ?, Am I eligible to apply and get the devops Engineer job ??
I suppose you could try when you have 3+ yrs of experience. I heard DevOps is a hot skill here. But currently the job market situation seems to be volatile, so carefully decide if you want to move. Please choose a strong company and then move.
Hi Jegan, I have completed 2 rounds of interview in 2 companies(cities - Heidelberg and Cologne) but due to some reason they did not offerred me Joining letter, not sure what was the reason. Still I am searching to get a job. Can you please refer me if you come across any opportunities are opened for devops and cloud technologies.
Hi jegan, I am IT professional and looking for a job in Europe. I need some help in job seeking if you can help me it will be great I have 6 years of experience in software development. If possible please connect one to one
Hi Sayyad, Thanks for subscribing & checking out the videos. Sure, please keep searching for jobs. If you want to discuss something over instant messaging, please reach out via LinkedIn.
Bro I'm a a backend developer in a startup company, is it possible for me to get a job because I have startup experience? That too at this time? I heard through instagram that some German employers are laying off their employees, and also that you can only get a job if you study there, is this true? plz reply
Hi @Music Beatzz, It is true that some employers are firing some people. But that's mostly in companies that are finanacially struggling. In Germany, for developers there is very good demand, even now. It is not true that you need to study in Germany to get a job. But its one of the easiest routes. However If you're good at your skills you can find a job from home country itself. But during this difficult financial times, you should be careful in accepting offers from very small companies. Check if the company is doing well in their business then accept the offer. All the best
I can not tell for whole Europe. But for Germany, you can try for apprenticeship roles. However you need B1 level German for that. Other than that, it is nearly impossible to find odd jobs from India to Germany.
Every year the limit is revised. So it is wise to look for the 'Blue Card Visa Checklist for Germany' for the year you are applying for. Here is the official link for 2023. india.diplo.de/blob/2163240/6c5a3edfa01be40fe25d1bcbfb38aa69/eu-bluecard-visaentry-data.pdf
Hello jegan I'm Kenyan.. how can I find healthcare assistant/ caregiver jobs in Germany from kenya? Please indicate the links or sites that I can do the search
Hi I m your new subscriber. My husband has done CA, CS , BA with English and Economics and currently pursuing CFA third year. He is 39 tears old working in a reputed government company here in India since last 15 years. We are planning to relocate in foreign country. What's the scope of CA and CFA in Germany? Can we relocate at this age? Please reply. It will be a great help. Thank you.
Hi, Thanks for subscribing and commenting. Currently I have very less exposure on the jobs related to CA, so I need some research and local consulting with people who are living here long. But relocating at age 39 should not be an issue.
Hi please let me know abt south African bachelor degree in teaching and degree in special needs at movements working in Abu Dhabi teacher is my daughter ddadau
German is not mandatory. There are many German companies whose company language is English. But having basics of German before coming here would really help. Visa processing time : For me during COVID time, it took around 4 months. (3 months for appointment itself.) May be now it is improved.
Hello sir., what if our salary not comes in blue card range? Can we able to do change job after moving to germany? If it is not blue card then which visa category it should be?
Hi Jagan..... Thanks for sharing the valueble information.... I have total 6 years of experience as SAP consultant.....but there is five years gap between completion of my education and starting of the career......and i am 37 years old.....is this gap, and age at 37 years looking for job in Germany is any problem? will my cv be shortlisted? Could you please answer my questions? Thanks in advance.....🙂
Hi Sandeep, Thanks. Age is not an issue for you. For the gap, it is not easy to give a direct yes or no. It depends on people but based on my exposure, most of the recruiters do not bother much about it. But it depends based on what you did during the gap/ what you say about it. I suggest you to try.
To be honest i am following so many persons in You Tube, But you are so unique from others. Thank you so much brother. Just one quick Question I do created account in Xing as well LinkedIn in De and Eng both Language. Shall i buy Premium Accounts in both Platform ? for hunting jobs. Let me know your thought as well My plan to buy both Sites Premium bcoz opportunity is so Less if we buy premium at least i am visible to some recruiter's My German in A2 level in Goethe but that too not so good to be honest. I studied 3 yrs back still i remember but somewhat i won't speak that much. Now a days only again i am studying to get at least A2 Level Speaking.
Thanks a lot for your motivating comments brother. Coming to your question, don't rush to buy premium accounts. Maybe, let's evaluate if you really need one. I currently have a premium account in LinkedIn, maybe let's connect over a Google Meet and see the difference between normal and premium accounts. Let's connect over LinkedIn and decide.
Hi Jegan, hope you and your family are well, firstly very very thanks for your video. I have more than 10 years of experience on Database Development. I am planning move to Germany with spouse. I will follow your steps what's you were mentioned in your video. If possible please assist me at that point. Thanks
Hi Jegan, your job-finding video is truly outstanding. To be honest, I have rarely seen such insightful tips shared by other expats on similar RU-vid channels. I am wondering if it's possible to connect with you to review my CV? Thank you.
Hi Nabajit, Glad it was helpful! You can reach out to talktojegan@gmail.com with your CV. I will respond usually during weekends or sometime during weekdays whenever I am free.
Thank you for your valuable input as your info was very useful. one question i have is that is it necessary to have some basic german proficiency before applying for german job or we can still apply without german proficiency?
Hi Rahul, Thanks for your feedback. You can still apply without any German, mostly its based on the roles only. For example, developers if they do not have much interaction with end customers, then German is not mandatory.
Here is the info from blue card checklist : The minimum Annual Gross Salary to obtain a Blue Card for the year 2023 is as follows: • 45.552 € for Natural Scientists, Mathematicians, Engineers, Doctors and IT professionals (also known as MINT professions) • 58.400 € for all other professions
Got much information about german❤. Have a request that continue posting video more about german employment opportunities for other department like electrical ,mechanical department
Great video Jegen. I am sure that this will help many. Is there any opening for the java developer at your company? I have 6 years of experience as a software engineer.
Hi Jegan , Iam also in Application support , have 6 years experience , iam not having so much knowledge as i worked for stable applications.Can i still get job in German???
Hi there, In my opinion, If you're strong in what you're doing and have exposure to ITIL, then definitely you could find a job in support. Of course, you will need to examine your current skillset and find the marketable skills like sql, Linux or similar ones and build your CV around that. Then it's a possible thing.
Hi Jegan, Thanks for detailed information that would really helps, if possible can you share any sample CV as well cover letter, also any idea how is market for scrum master @ QA Manager positions in German or any other european contries bcz i have 13 + years of expereince as QA manager and scrum master, Appreciate your response
Hi Srinivas, Thanks for watching the video and sharing kind words. For CV, I made a video with a sample CV format: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yvhy4dX-mr8.html Cover Letter - I found a random sample from internet and modified for my application. Definitely there are many QA manager positions available. You could message me in LinkedIn/Instagram, we can discuss in detail.
Hi Jagdessh, For developers there is definitely good amount of visa sponsoring jobs available in Germany. But nowadays the scrutiny is too much and some companies also reduced the hiring. But nevertheless, I still see people are moving here directly from India.
Hi Piyush, I joined in period of 3.5 months. Actually I couldn't get the visa before my original joining date. So my employer gave me one more month of time.
Hi, I can support you in your job search process with required information or assistance as and when needed. Please connect over LinkedIn, we can discuss about your profile and further steps that you can take.
Its based on your educational qualification, work experience, a job contract from a German employer, and few more. You could easily find out the latest visa checklist online. Please refer to official German Govt sites.
Hi Jegan I hv 9.9 years exp in Manual testing in insurance domain working as Senior consultant currently can you pls help if there are any opportunities in your company or any other in Germany?
I have very less exposure on finance related jobs. But after seeing your comment, I have done quick research and notice that there are many finance jobs available. May be, LinkedIn only shows much of IT jobs. But in Google jobs I could see lot of it. However I could not find if they are sponsoring visa. May be, if feasible, one could try to come here with 'job seeker visa' and find finance jobs then can covert the visa to work visa. (possibly other options available, but currently I am not aware).
After getting JSV, if you do not come to Germany then you might still be considered as normal candidate who has no visa. Though you could argue that you can travel immediately in those 6 months, employers would still prefer someone who is already in Germany. So it is feasible, being in Germany with JSV can help in a better way.
@@jegankennedy but I my current employer is permanent Work from office they don't provide work from home...and sit in Germany for six months without job is a big challenge and need large amount of savings.....that's why lots of factors with me not possible to go there without getting job....that's why I thought this is feasible for me that apply VISA first and start looking for job at LinkedIn and other portals by sitting in India only ...and convence the employer that I already have a VISA and land in Germany within 1-2 months I shared my resume with one of Indian carrier coach also who living in Germany since 10 years he said your profile is in demand plus i am learning German also A2 is about to finish till B2 have a plan ...give resignation and ask minimum notice period from the current employer I think notice period not a big issue my previous company also having 2 months notice period but I told them I have an emergency so they released me only in 10 days
In my limited visibility, it looks like finding a HR job from outside Germany is nearly impossible. But I would suggest to do bit more research. Because I may be wrong
Hi Jegan, you have given me a new hope. It's my dream to work abroad and your guidelines really make it seem, possible. I have been deceived by consultancies. Have been trying linkedin for a long time now. If possible I want to connect with you, to get valuable insights.
Hi Pratiba, Thanks for your kind words. Sorry to know that you were deceived. You can connect with me during weekends for a call. Else you could drop me a message in LinkedIn. I can respond to you as and when I could.
Yes, there are many pharma companies here. Need to look your profile and tweak according to some of the most wanted jobs in pharma, then I think you could crack a job.
Hi Surender, As far as I understand, it is possible. There is no restriction with age/experience in getting visa. It is just that you need to show some additional proof for pension contribution from home country. (If you are from India, then PF could be one option. But that is just my assumption, haven't had a direct experience yet). That being said, your first step is to get a full time German employment contract, then everything else is easy. (or at least possible).
Hey bro, Hope you’re doing great. This is Moazzem Hossain from Bangladesh, I tried to follow your procedure of Job searching on LinkedIn but the problem that I'm facing, while I search a keyword like "application support visa" then location in Germany, it shows No results found, or any others keyword like "electrical engineer visa" then location, it shows the same result (No results found). Just for your information, I have a normal account on LinkedIn, Do I need to go through with premium (paid) version in order to get the result what you're getting while searching the job? Please, guide me. Thank you so much for your beneficial work activities.
Hi bro, Thanks I am doing good. Hope all is well at your side too. Yes, you're right. Now there are no results coming up. It's because LinkedIn has changed its search process. I discussed about it and alternatives in a recent video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5bfqGowcqhs.htmlsi=9CrowakBEzZ2ed4f
