me and my husband had to close our business a few weeks ago and are both now revcieving JA. We have 2,5 years old twins and are living in a council house for the past 2 years.
Plenty of English speaking jobs in Germany. Lots of British military camps in the North require English speaking low to middle skilled work and most German international business now opperate in English exclusively for meddium to higher skilled roles.
I have a German g-f and have been over a few times. My German is non-existent and hasn't been helped by the German fondness and predilection for English - many ads are purely in English ! Do not go over without a job - your 'advantage' (being English) ... is an advantage but marginal at best.
Is there any particular website for these type of jobs?
For the military roles these are based on civil service pay scales so could be between about €19k > €50k. Some of them will come with cut price rental for a family home i.e. married soldiers units where the rent is only €200 a month or so for a 3 bed semi/flat but they are generous in size. Its actually like living in a UK community in Germany where there is English shops and pubs.
Are there any based near or in Stuttgart?
As the previous poster suggested, think long and hard about going back - job wise, Germany is much worse off than Ireland (has been for years and no changes to date) - let alone the much lower salaries. Why not check the job offers online and apply...
Actually German unemployment rate (~9%) is significantly lower than Ireland's (~12%) at the moment. And Germany's has been trending downwards, and Ireland's upwards.
that is not correct. they (OECD, Arbeitsagentur) expect a 2,5% increase of unemployed people in germany for 2010. currently there are over 4 million people unemployed in germany! mind the other important factor(s) how the german government influences the unemployment figures e.g.:
high number of internships instead of official full time registered jobs
1 Euro Jobs
Jobs with subsidiary ALG II (Hartz IV)
students are kept much longer in universities
longterm maternity/ parental leave (three years)
350.000 pensioners (60-65 years) who should be working but not neccessarily do so (because there are no jobs)
480.000 early retirement people (not neccessarily by choice)
80.000 people registered but sick
these groups don't fall under the unemployment category even though none of them are in proper employment. these numbers added up bring the total by far over 8 million people.
one of the many interesting article to back the above up is here
i have many friends and relatives in germany who struggle and confirm every month that germany is not a country to get a good job in to make it worth while. there is a mix of college graduates, people who completed a three year training etc. - they all find it though, so based on the info and experience i have, i would advise OP to think hard about moving and IF moving, only with a guaranteed job over there.
