An increasing number of German companies are accepting candidates straigh from Algerian. Especially in technical branches. <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the most sought after jobs in Germany?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>here\u2019s a shortage of skilled workers in certain professions in Germany. These include qualified engineers (mechanical, automotive, electrical and building), IT specialists, social workers and workers in the geriatric, health and nursing professions. More details on German market situation <a href=\"https:\/\/statistik.arbeitsagentur.de\/Statischer-Content\/Arbeitsmarktberichte\/Fachkraeftebedarf-Stellen\/Fachkraefte\/BA-FK-Engpassanalyse-2018-06.pdf\">here<\/a> (in German)<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I don\u2019t speak German, can I still work in Germany?<\/strong>Depends on your field. Some positions, especially in IT and in startup environments, hire english-speaking candidates with no German requirement. Read the job ad carefully to find out. <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the average salary?<\/strong>Depends on your industry and location. Berlin is known for lower wages while Munich is the opposite. Use <a href=\"http:\/\/glassdoor.de\/\">Glassdoor<\/a><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How much taxes shall I pay?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are six tax classes in Germany. Taxes are deducted at the source. You can calculate your potential tax contribution <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbx.de\/grossnet-wage-calculator-germany\/\">here<\/a><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How can I improve my CV?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/europass.cedefop.europa.eu\/\"> Europass website<\/a> provides some nice European-style CV templates. <br\/>Seek out, in our event calendar, our next CV workshops.<br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How does the visa process looks like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve got an employment contract already congrats! You\u2019ve done the most complicated bit. If you hold an Algerian passport, you will need to apply for a German visa. Highly-skilled profesionnals can benefit from the Blue Card which is a special type of visa quick to get and with less hassle. Find out if you are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bamf.de\/EN\/Migration\/Arbeiten\/BuergerDrittstaat\/BlaueKarte\/blaue-karte-node.html\">eligible<\/a>. <br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Once I\u2019m settled, can I bring my family?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you are entitled to bring your wife and kids. They will need to apply for a visa as well though and the process can take sometime in Algeria (up to 12 months). With the Blue card it\u2019s even faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to setup a business in Germany?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to figure out whether you are going to work on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.make-it-in-germany.com\/en\/for-qualified-professionals\/working\/setting-up-a-business-in-germany\/ways-of-setting-up-your-business\">self-employed, freelanc<\/a>e basis or if you want to create a company (in which case you will need to know which type of company uGMBH, GMBH&#8230;etc).
