Huyen's key message: “Germany has a very high level of employment"
My biggest challenge
Not having a higher education degree from a German university.
Myths & realities
MYTH: It's better if you know German. It's also better if you have a local German degree.
Jobs in Germany are given based purely on hard skills.
REALITY: There are many career opportunities in Germany. The current most in-demand jobs are in Information Technology, Banking, Telecommunications, Engineering, Marketing, and Construction.
My advice & top tips
Do a Google search: “Personaldienstleister” = “recruitment agencies” in Germany.
Quirky & cultural
The German work culture means employees always turn up on time and do a full day's work. They are in turn rewarded with fair pay and good working conditions. Everyone in Germany wants every task, big or small, to be completed as effectively as possible, and delivered on time.
And finally...
It's better if you know how to speak German. Most locals can speak English, but they still prefer German.
