Can anybody get a job in German speaking countries without German language skills? |
When a person is moving to switzerland, is it possible for him to get a job in finance in there without enough german skills? and beside that what is the qualification and experience requirements for a fair paid job? what is value of CAT and ACCA professional scheme in there? Switzerland is not only a German speaking country, u can also try the Italian part, or the French part. and there is a small minority speaking Romanic.. If u have very good qualification it is possible to get a job in German speaking country. I used to work for O2 once (a student temp job) and therefore I know, that nearly everything, the company newspaper, the intranet etc. was bilingual (02 is an British company though) But also BMW or Siemens have some employees whose German skills are not sooo impressive.. The thing is, that u should show ambition to wanna learn German.. If not, even though u might be good in ur eg. technical job, u will have it very hard in Germany, due to the fact, that people can talk English to u, but the daily life is in German. The supermarket, the news, the gossip, etc... Source(s): Live in Munich, which is a place with a loooot of companies and a lot of international people Why don't you just go to china? http://www.roadsout.com Hmmm, can't help you with the specifics, but I know the general answer is YES! My cousin (no german) works as a lifeguard on an army base in Germany - I think it's a US base, though. And when I was a little kid, my dad got a job offer at an engineering company in Switzerland... so we packed up and went :) We had zero German skills to start with, but after a few years we did okay. It's definitely possible! They're not too fond of foreigners, I'm afraid, especially in Switzerland... But good luck! From my experience, it would be very, very hard in Germany and Austria. You may have a chance in Switzerland. I am an IT professional with limited German speaking skills and currently working in Germany. IMO German is the language of business over here. One may be able to get a job with multinationals that are dealing with technology, however for business German is a must. Another thing is that all the job descriptions are in German so I would say that chances are slim if one cant even understand basic German. |
