In Reply To: G'day all. I'm a student who will be finishing my degree in IT(Software Engineering & Data Comms) in Brisbane, Australia, this November - 2004 (touch wood)! Does anyone have any tips on what I should do to find a job in Germany. I know this is particularly difficult, but any tips would be appreciated (i.e. recruiters, people I should talk to etc...). Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut (My German is not very good), so that is definitely something to keep in mind, although I'm learning quickly! My first preference would be around the Munich area as my g/f lives in Augsburg (30 or so minutes from Munich). If Germany is a no go, then I would also like information on recruiters etc... and the best way for me to look for a job here in Australia. Thanks to all who reply. ...DJVege...
Message: I have been in a long distance relationship for over 4 years and our careers have taken too much priority and it has put a wedge between us emotionally. If you are ready to move from Australia to Germany to be with her then why not get married even if it just a legal agreement between the two of you. Call me crazy for giving such advice but realize that if you move to Germany and take a job that either you don't enjoy or pays really poorly, she will know you settled and it will take it's toll on your relationship. You will want to have all the advantages possible and not having a visa on top of the high unemployment rate in Germany is asking for dissapointment. That is just my advice. Good luck! PS Munich is a gorgeous city!
