Document Required
- Valid passport or ID card
- City registration
- Immatrikulationsbescheinigung (only for students)
- Social Security number (Sozialversicherungsnummer)
- Tax-ID (Identifikationsnummer)
- If you don't have your social security number, inquire at Deutsche Rentenversicherung or your health insurance company.
- You will generally get your Tax-ID 2 weeks after the city registration by post. If you haven't received yet, write an e-mail to Bundeszentralamt für Steuern (info@identifikationsmerkmal.de)
Before you start
- At first: Learn German if you haven’t already. Even if your course is taught in English, daily communication in Germany primarily happens in German. If you’re not being invited to job interviews, this could be the reason. Part-time job opportunities are widely available across Germany, even in smaller cities.
- Make a good and professional CV with a photo.
- Prepare essential documents.
- Choose between a 20-hour-per-week job (part time i.e. taxed) or a 10 -hour-per-week job (Minijob i.e. non-taxed).
- Prepare yourself for a job interview.
- Watch your expenses before you find a job. Differentiate between NEEDS and WANTS.
