Post new topic

Julien

Hi all,

Newbie on the Germany forum? Don't know how to start?

This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country,
or to tell us more on your expat projects in Germany if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Welcome on board!

Good evening, I'm new and I don't know how it works.  I would like help, I have come to Germany and I don't know exactly the regulations, what I am entitled to and what I am not.  If I have to find a job directly or I can go to school and learn the language without having any problem staying in the country.   Thank you and sorry for my english

You'll have to get much more specific in your questions to get any useful answers. If you are a Greek citizen as your profile claims then you must know that as a Schengen citizen you are free to work or study as you like. But this doesn't mean you will get a job or accepted to any school or university without the proper level of German language and credentials. If you are not really a Schengen citizen, then one needs to know your citizenship and residency status to say what options you have.

@abbaszaheer720 You are lucky: Many butcheries here are looking for employees, as this is a job few Germany still want to do.

But of course you'd have to accept our local habits, which include eating pork. Are you prepared to butcher pigs and prepare sausages and other products from their meat? (This also requires tasting them,of course.) If not,do not come here!

You should check whether your home country's butchery certificate is recognised here. If you have no recognised paper, you'd have to do an apprenticeship first (which means three years on minimal pay and without the possibility to bring your kids along).

Also, working here of course requires language skills - how good is your German? If you don't speak it yet, you should start attending classes to get to B1 or better B2 level, to increase your job chances. This will take 1 - 3 years.)
