Halo everyone! It's Carol from Hong Kong.
I just came to Cologne in early September with working holiday visa. May anyone have ideas on the job searching for non-Deutsch speaking here? And may you know the average rental of room for 2? As I have recently rented a flat for 710Euro per month, but it is very difficult for me to maintain living.
Hope you may have any suggestions on that, thank you so much!

Hi Carol,
Welcome to Cologne. If you're looking for a job, try Stellenwerk-koeln.de oder kalaydo.de
To be honest, it really depends on your german skills. But there is plenty of work in Cologne, so you should find something.
According to the flat: Are you looking for flat community or a flat for 2 persons?
The rent for a 2 person flat is usually 600-800 鈧�. If you are looking for cheaper flats, try some areas on the east side of Cologne. But be aware that you will probably need a tram ticket if you are living outside of the centre.

Halo Haegae,

Sorry for the late reply. It is really informative, I have surfed to the websites and found lots of job vacancies there. Although haven't yet receiving any reply from the employer (maybe because of my language deficiency, will keep on look for them. Thank you so much.

Cheers,
Carol
