Finding a job in Berlin can hold a different meaning for each of us. For some, it’s simply about paying bills. For others, it’s about self-realization.
Whatever your purpose, skills or level of experience, this guide puts you on your way towards a job that helps you lead a better, happier life. Feel to ask questions in the comments too.
Is it difficult to find a job in Berlin in 2022?
The Berlin-renaissance since the late 00s has provided the city with an economic boom, driven by its flourishing start-up scene, music/entertainment industry, tourism & an uninterrupted flow of qualified skilled workers. Its economy has grown faster than the rest of country’s.
As of March 2020, Berlin had an unemployment rate of 7,9%, compared to the national average of 5,4% (That figure represents the normal pre-COVID era, in September 2021, it was 9,4%.). It has consistently decreased over the past few years.
Macro-indicators are one way to paint reality, but what does it look at street level?
With a bit of patience, preparation & perseverance, it is not that difficult to find a job in Berlin for most people.
There are plenty of new opportunities created every day, across all industries. The city itself is very open to talents coming from abroad. Language barriers are most of time seen as a natural part of life. You should be confident in your chances to find a job in Berlin.
There are however 2 big challenges
Challenge 1: finding a meaningful job
The real challenge will be to find a job that satisfies all those criteria:
- has good salary
- has decent working conditions
- fits your skillset/education
- offers some career prospects
This is where a lot of newcomers fail at moving to Berlin. They do manage to get a flat. They do manage to get a job. Unfortunately, this job does not pay enough for what they are really worth or it does not offer good prospects or it has bad working conditions.
While it gets better for some after a while, a lot of newcomers cannot find a good, meaningful job. This is one of the reasons often quoted to leaving the city again. They love their life here, but they cannot build something solid enough for the long-term on the professional side.
Challenge 2: it’s harder if you need a work visa
There is no shortage of qualified talents in Berlin. A lot of them don’t need any permit to get started. This can often impact on the motivation of an employer to go through the process of sponsoring your visa & dealing with the administration. It simply takes more time/effort/money.
A prerequisite for visa applications is also university degrees and/or vocational training. Another one could be good enough German skills. For all those reasons, prospective work visa applicants have it harder.
Thankfully, there is guidance for that too.
Is German necessary?
A short answer
German is probably not necessary for most newcomers in the beginning. There are enough jobs where German is not a requirement, or basic German will do. However, it improves your prospects dramatically for the long term if you do speak German. Chances of success are simply higher.
A long answer
While you may not need German in the beginning, it will improve your chances by a lot for the following reasons:
- It reduces the talent pool you are competing with: there are many overqualified foreigners like you applying for the same jobs. And even if you get the position, you won’t be able to progress so far within the company. I am sure that there are plenty of people out there that got their jobs in Berlin without peeping a word of German! But on the long-run, those people are likely to hit a glass ceiling and his/her colleague who spoke German got the long deserved promotion.
- It brings you closer to key decision-makers: Bosses, investors, clients & other key players are often German. They make the decisions, hire or fire and set-up strategies. If you are not able to play on the same level with them, it won’t be possible to eventually convince them that you are a great fit for that new role. Being able to bond at the coffee machine, intervene in informal meetings or over-hear key information in German makes a difference.
- Not speaking German might actually negatively impact your income: people tend to lower their expectations when they don’t speak the local language, as pointed out by this OECD study.
- It reduces the type of jobs you can apply for; thus making potentially miss jobs that’s a good fit for you. It’s hard to do sales or overview marketing campaigns if you can’t speak the language. STEM-related professions (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) are also off-limits for the most part.
- German does not matter at all for some privileged profiles, even for long-term: most famously, software developers do not have to worry to this at all. There will always be jobs for them & they can go all the way to CTO level, without ever speaking German. Tech & Engineering roles in general in international environnements do have this quality.
If you wish to get started on your language learning journey right now, you can read how to learn German in Berlin here, check a selection of clever apps or sign-up for a online language school like Lingoda. They are all great options depending on your needs. The main point is to get started!
Now, if you are planning to stay only a little while, it might not be necessary to learn German to find a job in Berlin. You might not find the best fitting one or the best pay, but it will be enough to pay your rent and your lifestyle.
Where to find a job in Berlin based on industry & skills
Linkedin is often overlooked, but it is a powerful tool.
If you have not done so, start by updating and maintaining your Linkedin account. Employers & headhunters tend to search there for a number of open positions. Adding the right keywords to your profile may mean more visibility to potential recruiters.
A more complete profile will also let Linkedin surface better/more relevant suggestions of jobs and companies in your feed. You need to reach the maximum level (All-Star level) to get more visible on Linkedin.
The “Jobs” tab on Linkedin is also great to let you explore local companies and even apply directly from there.
Startup jobs in Berlin
You are young and hungry for experience, it might be why you came to Berlin: for its vivid start-up scene. Berlin has impressively raised up its profile and it is now known as true hub in Europe. Start-ups provide a lot of opportunities and are usually a lot more flexible concerning German skills. Showing motivation and spirit is often key. Money is sometimes not great but that can change quickly if you do well. Online Marketing, business intelligence, product management, sales & customer support know-hows are often what they are looking for.

You can signup for platforms who offers small jobs on a temp basis. You can signup and receive new offers daily for small jobs lasting a few hours. It’s a nice flexible option.

Living in Berlin, working remotely
Remote jobs have gain in popularity, starting in the tech industry, slowly spreading to other sectors as well. The global COVID-19 crisis also helped accelerate the movement.
Berlin offers a great living standard and it’s definitely possible to settle here on a remote job. If that speaks to you, you may be interested in those platforms to find a remote job in Berlin.
Securing a job from abroad, if you don’t have a visa yet
As mentioned before, chances to secure a job from abroad is harder than for German/EU citizens. Your chances are the best if you work in a so called “shortage occupation“. That’s a type of job currently experiencing a lack of workers in Berlin. Those would be for example:
- Software developers, architects, programmers
- Electrical engineers
- Nurses
- Civil engineers
- IT consultants, IT analysts
- Customer advisors, account managers
- Sales representatives/assistants
- Sales managers
- Product managers
- STEM professions (science and technology)
Applying for a work visa:
If you are not an EU-citizen, you probably already know that you ought to apply to a work visa in order to establish yourself in Berlin.
It will massively help if you belong to a skilled worker category, in an industry that is actively looking for profiles like yours. If that is the case, not speaking the language will often much less of a problem.
You can see an overview of all relevant visa types you could apply to here, or look at this detailed guide on the German work visa.
To secure a great application, you can also turn to support organisations like Imagine, which help you every step of the way and maximize your chances of success.
Adapting your CV & cover letter to German standards
In all likelihood, you already have spent some time finalizing your CV for your next German employer. Although changes are not radical, it’s best to be aware of best practices in Germany. You can read how to craft a German CV in this guide. There is also a dedicated guide to cover letters this way.
How to make sure you are getting fair salary
Don’t sell yourself short by doing your research on how much you should ask when negotiating your salary. I have made a dedicated post on how much you should get paid in Berlin this way. This is an important step to getting a job you are excited about. Added to that: don’t forget that rent prices have increased much quicker than salary levels in Berlin; the excuse that some employers used (“You should decrease your expectations because the city is cheaper than where you come from.”) is now definitely obsolete.
How to make sure the company has a good work environment
One of the trends that came with web 2.0 is the ability to leave reviews for pretty much anything on the web. Companies and employers did not escape that trend and platforms have emerged to provide insider information on what it is really like to work there. You can access testimonies by former/current employees or people that applied to some jobs. Although reviews are by nature biased, they can give you a good idea of what’s it like. If you are interested head to:
Alternatively, you can also try to search for former employees on Facebook groups above or via a quick Linkedin search and ask there.
I hope this first overview helps you finding a job in Berlin, whether you are a fresh graduate, a young professional or a senior profile. Good luck and feel free to leave questions in the comment section. 🙂

Finding a jobs in Berlin – FAQ
Yes, it is possible for most newcomers to successfully find a job in the German capital without any German skills. However, experience & research suggests that it does reduce your long-term chances to find the job you actually want or lead a meaningful career.
Profiles in high demand such a software engineers or AI experts can lead a very successful career without German, even in the long term.
With a bit of patience & perseverance, you will be able to find work without too much trouble. It might not be the best money, or the most relevant job for your skill set, but it’s a start. The real challenge is to build a meaningful career.
However, if you need a work permit to access the job market, it can represent a significant challenge as companies might prefer candidates who are available to work right away and with no additional visa sponsorship process involved.
Most international companies will process your application just fine with documents submitted in English. The interview process takes place in English too.
If you apply for local companies or companies with roles facing German customers/partners, you should probably submit your application in German.
Any profile related to tech & software is pretty much guaranteed to get a job. Other professions also experience shortages as engineers, nurses, doctors, sales representatives, customer representatives & other STEM professions.
I send this blog to some good friends and all of them are very happy for this information. Thanks men, you’re doing a good job!
I hope you all find great jobs, but,..
I am German and I have a great academic and international experience and I am usually not considered for any proper jobs, wheras in certain of these positions tend to sit people with a much lower level of education and skills. One, of course could argue with maybe me having a difficullt character that might block me from such positions etc (and basically I cannot tell for sure :D), but that same thing happens to my friends (usually). Example: someone I know and who is translating a famous German Philosopher (as part of a team) in his home country and holds a PD from an German institution (and speaks German very well). He used to work here, registering post, while his boss did not even have his A Levels. Also my friend has a decent and utterly sweet character, while his boss was rude and authoriarian. But he for sure is cheaper and is less likely to disagree (because his position is rather weak).
I just feel that the job market isn’t all that fair in general and it is more of a medievel gutter fight.
Sure it always helps to speak the language of the country you live in (and I personally never would move without speaking at least B1), but there are a whokle lot of other things going terribly wrong in this city and I will be very happy to move and didn’t even plan on staying so long.
Berlin has no create industry, very few companies have their headquarters here and a government that does not appreciate economic growth. you will certainly find more interesting jobs in Frankfurt a. Main, Munich, Stuttgart, Hamburg. Berlin has never been fancy and only very few years artistic. I would think twice moving.
Hey Nadine. Thanks for your input.
super cool list but some links don’t work! i like also joblistberlin.com with a lot of work for people in berlin
bye!
Another job board you should try is Lunar Careers – https://lunarcareers.com – you can easily discover jobs in Berlin where only English is required (or where German is a nice-to-have), matched to your skills, growth interests and preferences. Good luck! 🙂

Hi Ena. That’s a good point that i can add to this post in the future.
Hi,
I am a graduating student from outside of EU and will be done with my studies in May 2018. I have been searching for a job in Berlin since September 2017, and it has been really challenging. I have lived in Berlin for sometime before, and I can speak German fluently. My applications are all submitted in German, but they don’t seem to be working.
I am half the mind of applying for the Job Seekers visa and venturing into Berlin for half a year. Do you think it will work out? I am very discouraged at the point in time, but am still determined to make this work. Do you have any advise?
Hi Vanessa. No further advice than just to keep trying. I don’t think i can do more within a comment section. 🙂 . Good luck!
great website with a lot of information…… I am from Kenya a recent graduate in mining engineering and I want to move to Berlin bt I heard it hard to get a job there without a master…is it true?and can I find a mining job in Germany?
Hi Zainab, I think the place for you to go is Canada…
Hi, Bastien! Do you have any suggestions for professional translators? I speak English, German and Spanish. I have a Spanish passport, eventhough I grew up in Latin America. I have experience teaching German and working as freelancer doing subtitles. However, it seems like Germans expect you to have a master (I don’t have one). I only get offers for call-centers.
I would like to recommend another Jobsite for jobs in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, http://www.careerjobs.de/
Hi there, it would be really valuable to have information on the necessity of adapting your CV to a Lebenslauf.
Hi Celia. Depends on the job and the industry. I never adapted my CV to German standards but it might be different in more old-fashioned companies.

Hi there! Great post and very helpful information! I will drop a question if you let me so. As far as I know in Germany there is a relatively high demand for Mechanical Engineers but I am not very aware of the demand in Berlin, is it possible to find a position as Mechanical Engineer in Berlin? I still don’t know much German (Almost anything at all). Thank you very much!
Hi Daniel, you have big companies like Siemens, Rolls Royce & Bombardier. Maybe you should start there?
Hi, First I would like to thank you for this wonderful website with so much useful information. Keep up the good work. I need an advice on “job seeker/ work visa”. I am a recent graduate from a German university, found a job and got the “anmeldung”. I have to start the job from September, but there is no visa appointment till September end. I heard from friends about an option of getting a temporary visa or a certificate/letter from visa office Berlin. The letter I can show to my employer and this would allow me to start the work. Is there any provision of temporary visa/letter? and what is the German name of this document. Thanks in advance!
Hi vipul, i’m not an expert on visa issues, i’ve found this page, maybe it can help.
Hey SiB, hey guys,
I’m planning to move to Berlin in October this year, with the idea of working in an organic food store, or any store with sustainable values and products I can fully support, since I have had a pretty solid experience working in this field in France. Seeing as apparently a lot of people go to Berlin to work in startups and the like, I have little to no idea of how it is to work in stores as a foreigner. That might also mean that it’s an easy kind of job to get, since that doesn’t seem to be one people seek when settling in Berlin…
I would love to have your enlightened advice regarding my situation 🙂
Hi Gabriel. I guess you will need to speak German quite well to work in those stores. You can apply at stores like Biocompany or Denn’s. There is also a search engine there.
Yes, I’m working hard on it now, although it’s unlikely I’ll be fluent when I arrive… Bah, now that’s a challenge !
Thanks a lot for the search engine link !!
Thank you so much for putting in time to make this article. I found it very helpful
I have a question to work in Berlin, do I need a permit? register some where?
Hi Catherine, i cannot answer to this question. If you are an EU citizen, no work permit needed. If not, you will probably need to apply for a visa.
Really good article, with lots of helpfull information. As I am in the natural science field of work, I can recommend you the side https://jobtensor.com. They are specialist on natural science and engineering jobs and have a lot of vacancies in Berlin. Also available in english language.
Maybe you can add in your list as I missed a bit the science area 🙂
Thanks
Hi Sofie, great recommendation. I will add it to the list.
Hello! First of all, thanks for your website and the hard work you must have put in this, i’m glad there is a website like yours, it helped me for many things so thank you!!
I have a question regarding self employed job: is it possible to be freiberufler and have a gewerbe statut at the same time? Everywhere it says that you have to choose, but i want to work as a freelancer AND have my small artisanal company (both are artistic)… and i can’t find any answer about it on how i can register for this kind of status, if its possible to cumulate these two…
thanks a lot!!
Hello Anne. I don’t think there is anything that prevents you from doing that. A little research uncovered this. Hope this helps.
Yes it helped! thank you so much 🙂
Hey very nice and use full information. I am a System Engineer in IT. How is the IT market over there?as i don’t no German.
Hi Saytam. As mentioned in the article, IT profiles are quite in demand as there are lot of start-ups. It shouldn’t be a problem for you. The best way to know for sure is make a search. 🙂
Hi, Just moved to Berlin and I work in hospitality, I hear you need a red card licence to work in the industry – do you know where I can get this? Also I have really appreciated your page do you have a donation page to keep it going – really helpful to anyone moving here x
Hi Alice. A short research made me land on this page which explains how to get this in Berlin. It seems to be some sort of permit proving that you are not contagious and that you are allowed to work with food products with no risks for your patients/customers. There is a donation page this way :). Thanks for that!
Hey im from an asian country. Im doing a course of chartered accountancy i plan to learn german and give its ielts. My current qualification is alevels subjects accounts/economics/english language. So can i get proper job of accounting in berlin!
hi Alice,
how have you found living there working in hospitaility? Did you learn a lot of the language before you go. Ich kann sprache und verstehe eine bischen Deautch. Wurd es genug sein?
Thanks in advance for your answer!
Hi, thanks for all the invaluable info. Do you have any recommendations on CV formats? I’ve found the basics but one controversy is whether to provide personal interest and hobbies as it is in some german templates. Thanks!
Hi Stela. Wether or not you apply for german companies or international ones, it is fine to indicate a few personal details like those. It can grasp the interest of the recruiter and give him/her material to interview you one, to see how you talk about things you are passionate about. It also helps to stand out but just one or two lines will do.
This is probably a stupid question but I can’t find the answer anywhere……. on most job ads that I’ve seen for Germany, it always lists the title followed by (m/f). Does this mean Monday to Friday?
Hello there Amber. It is a legal requirement for job ads to include this to fight against discrimination. It just means (male/female).
Hello,I am a lawyer from Venezuela and I will be applying for a student visa to study German for at least 6 monthts, and with the mentioned visa I am only allowed to work for 120 full or 240 half days per year. Do you think I could pay the bills in Berlin working only this hours? What kind of jobs would you recommend me if I only speak Spanish and English… I know a few words in German but i Believe is not enough… Thank you for your help…
Hi Paola. I guess it depends on how well paid this job will be. It’s more or less a part-time job so it will probably cover the rent a bit more maybe. Hard to say from here. There are lot of start-ups catering the Spanish markets in Berlin, maybe you can find something there in customer support or sales.
hi any info on fitness industry jobs be great
thanks for the suggestion. I’ll add anything i can find. Do you have any ideas yourself ?

Hi Premtim, i’m sure that they are opportunities for you in Berlin too but i don’t know if your line of business requires German. Try to look at job descriptions and see if it’s necessary.
Awesome post, so so true about learning German. For anyone looking for PR and Marketing jobs in Berlin, I started this Facebook group while I was job hunting in Berlin because I wanted to share the love and help others find jobs too. Here’s the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/934989843180264/
Fantastic source! Thank you very much for this.

I am now strugeling to get a job. Fair to say that my lack of language is my main handicap because when in Rome.. or in Berlin in this case.
Would you recommend any site for english speaking mini jobs? I have to pay my bills somehow and the clock is ticking.

Hi i will be going to berlin for a year on dependant visa. can i get a job over there on dependant visa if i learn basic german language. i am good in english???
What is a dependant visa ? Does it allow to work here ? If yes, you can find a job if you’re good enough in English but maybe it won’t be your dream job.
I heard that craiglist is kinda crap for jobs. Have you had any bad experiences ?
Personally no since i never applied to a job on craigslist. The way i see it is that you never know what’s on there, and when you need a job, you shouldn’t dismiss any resources. 🙂
Really useful ressource of links. I can also recommend http://joblistberlin.com trying to compile all companies hiring in Berlin.
Thanks!
Awesome. Thanks for the add.

English speaking jobs & internships in Berlin startup
http://www.onstartupjobs.com/?job_listing_region=berlin
Sorry bud but you’re wrong. Iv been living in Germany for two years with sadly minimal language skills and have found acquiring jobs here easier than in the UK.
One call center paying 22.000 per year and now working as a sound engineer for 12 euro per hour.
Nough said.
Hi could you offer any advice or direction for such jobs? Thank you
Hello! I think you are my savior! I am planning to move to Berlin but I speak only some low-level rusty German! I intend to learn the language in time but for now i just need to go to Berlin and just find a simple job (preferably office job) in English! I am Greek,I have a bachelor in social politics and i think I’m good at English too.. i have friends there and i also intend to take a masters degree course on Jan. 2016. But first I need a job! I am desperate for an English speaking job! I would be deeply grateful if you could give me your lights! Thank you in advance! Vicky
Vicky have you found anything already? ( I am Greek too and willing to move in Berlin)

If you don’t speak German you will end up washing dishes for filthy Hotels even if you are close to a nobel prize in Chemistry.
nouf said.
Well, maybe it is not that bad to begin with the kitchen help job. I mean if you do not know the language , working in a job like this seems to be the best solution in order to start learning German.

Hi. I’m non-native speaker of English. I have degree on bachelor of “Teaching English as a Foreign Language” . and I have some basic German laguage skill. Can i find a suitable job in berlin as English teacher?
It’s quite risky because a lot of people offer to teach English even if that’s not their main occupation. There is certainly abundance of offer for the current demand. That’s not so much your german skills that is the problem here but more how much offer there is here for that service.
This seems to be an agency for helping immigrants find jobs and stuff http://www.oase-berlin.org/
This doesn’t really have anything to do with what you’re writing about, but do you know if busking is allowed in Berlin?
In short, i would say yes. Tons of bands are playing in the streets. In truth, i never checked if they had some kind of authorization
hey ! what about hospitality, hotels, hostels and stuff. i will need some extra money to cover my rent beside playing in a small band. do you think i will need to speak a perfect German for this sort of job ?
I left the tourism industry out because i’m not really knowledgeable about it.
By definition, if you are dealing with tourists, it’s likely that you won’t need a perfect german. Any other language than english is a plus and as stated in this article, german is needed in the long run.

This seems to be the extension of the Berlin Startup Map data to all of German startups. I don’t know which is more current.
