An analysis of the restrictions and ways of working abroad in Germany

? Most international students in Germany also like to accumulate experience or earn living expenses by working, but working part-time in Germany is not an immediate way to find a satisfactory job. What are the restrictions on part-time jobs in Germany? If you meet the requirements of part-time job, what ways can you do it? ? Visa restrictions? In principle, you are allowed to work while studying in Germany, but you are not allowed to work all year round. People who study language courses on short-term visas are not allowed to work. In terms of work, it depends on what kind of visa you get (what kind of comments were added to you when you got the visa). If there is no regulation, there is a time limit for working every month (8 hours per week, or no more than 3 months throughout the year). Most parts of Germany are similar, but some places are loose, such as Berlin. ? International students work in Germany during the holidays. Although they do short-term jobs, your boss will provide you with the same treatment as other workers, so the boss will deduct the payroll tax from your salary. Of course, if you have the obligation of social insurance, the boss has to deduct social insurance premiums (such as retirement insurance, health insurance, old-age insurance and unemployment insurance) from your income and transfer them to the Finance Bureau or the medical insurance company. Under normal circumstances, international students must give their tax cards to their bosses before they start working, and the bosses will return them to you at the end of the employment relationship. At that time, it will be clearly written on the back of your tax card, what is your total income during your part-time job and how much tax has been deducted. In these cases, the income of international students does not need to be deducted first. For example, if you only do short-term work occasionally and work continuously for no more than 18 days (excluding weekends and holidays), the salary during working hours will not exceed 120 mark, and the average hourly salary during working hours will not exceed 20.65 mark; Where wages are paid on a monthly basis, the monthly working hours shall not exceed 86 hours, and the hourly wage within the working period shall not exceed 20.65 marks. ? Language restrictions? If foreign students can have a good language level after they formally go to college, they will have a chance to get a decent job. If they are lucky, they can also work as part-time clerks or run errands in a serious company, so that they can not only accumulate work experience, but also get more pay. Foreign students with poor language skills can also do hourly jobs in factories after entering universities, with an average salary of about 16 to 19 marks. Germany's industry is very developed, and there are many similar hourly workers. There is basically no need to worry about finding a job. If the foreign students' school is located in a remote small city, there will be fewer jobs to choose from and the salary will be relatively low. In this case, international students can consider finding a job in a big city in southern Germany. ? In Germany, language is the biggest limiting factor in the work of international students. If foreign students don't have enough languages, it is difficult to find a job. Some foreign students from China can't communicate with Germans, but can only do some jobs like cleaning, which is very difficult. ? Part-time job According to the regulations of the German government, the legal working time of each foreign student who legally stays in Germany is 90 whole days or 180 half a day each year. Foreign students can use this time to go out to work and earn their own tuition and living expenses. There are many ways for German students to work, but few choose to work in Chinese restaurants. First, German Chinese restaurants exploit China students badly. They are not only tired, but also have low wages. Second, Germany, as an established industrial power with numerous domestic industrial enterprises, can provide enough jobs for international students. In recent years, the economic downturn in Germany has made it more difficult for international students to work. A few years ago, in the golden age of working in Germany, international students could easily earn 3,000 Domagk in a three-month summer vacation, and the tuition and living expenses were not difficult. But unfortunately, the economic recession in Germany in recent years has made such a beautiful golden time gone forever. With the increase in the number of German students studying in China, it is difficult to find jobs, and their wages have also declined. ? Working mode:? 1. Find a part-time job through the newspaper? There are many cases in which international students find part-time jobs through newspapers. Take Osnabrü ck, Germany as an example. Every week, osnabruek Weekly has a free newspaper, which is distributed every week 1, 3 and 5, providing many part-time jobs. In addition, the paid version of the weekend will also have many good job advertisements. ? 2. Find a part-time job through an intermediary? The advantages of foreign students looking for a job through an intermediary are stronger purpose and higher efficiency, but the disadvantages are also very obvious. German employment agencies not only charge high fees, but also the wages of enterprises advertising on them are relatively low, and the situation of exploitation is very serious. ? ? ? 3. Find a part-time job through the Labor Bureau? The German Labor Bureau provides many part-time jobs for German citizens and foreign students. The information of these jobs is free, and the amount of information is very large. The only drawback is that more work is aimed at German nationals. If foreign students' German level is not good, it may be difficult to find a suitable job. ? German universities implement welfare education, and the tuition fees are relatively low, not as high as those in English-speaking countries. At present, only Bavaria and Lower Saxony charge a nominal tuition fee of about 500 euros per semester, and other universities are free of tuition. Therefore, giving people a salary of about 60,000 a year can meet the needs of studying in Germany for one year. This is unimaginable in most developed countries, spending little money to enjoy high-quality education. Germany's consumption in western Europe is at a medium level, lower than that of Britain, Northern Europe, Belgium, the Netherlands and other countries. As long as we work hard, China students can be completely self-sufficient, and some even have a surplus. ? Working during the holidays? The working hours in winter vacation are shorter, only less than 2 months. Generally, it is not easy to find a job in winter vacation. Most students choose to go back to China to visit relatives or do some part-time jobs. German universities will have a holiday for about three months in the summer vacation, and most Germans will go abroad for their holidays in the summer, so there are many job opportunities. ? 1. Many large companies will announce the recruitment of holiday student workers in many ways. I have to submit my resume to apply. Generally speaking, most of these jobs are easy and the wages are high. If I am lucky enough to be admitted and work for three months, I can definitely meet my living expenses for one year, and I can still have enough money to go back to China to visit relatives during the winter vacation. I must apply for this kind of work in advance and make full preparations. There will still be many opportunities. Personally, I am very lucky. I applied for a summer job in Unilever Mannheim for two years in a row. Easy work and high salary. ? 2. Find a job through Zeitarbeit. Although the job is easy to find, exploited by intermediary companies, the salary is relatively low, and the job is unstable, but the work introduced to students at ordinary times is not very tiring, which is still a good choice for students who have not directly applied for holiday work in the company. After doing it for three months, I can still cope with the next expenses. ? There is also a Chinese restaurant, which is the advantage of our international students in China. China restaurants are all over Germany. If you just went to Germany and your German is still poor, you can work here, but you usually work in kitchens and bars. Low salary, tired. But after a while, when your German is good, the boss will agree to work as a waiter, and the income will be considerable, because the salary and guest tips will be very rich. The advantage of this business is that you can not only work on holidays, but also work part-time on weekends. ? 4, through the introduction of the government labor bureau. Arbeitsamt in every city will publish some jobs suitable for students free of charge and update the information regularly, but many students, especially those who have just arrived in Germany, may not be suitable for many jobs. After living in Germany for a period of time, it is still easy to find a job that suits you here. ? 5. Senior college students can do HIWI in college. It is to work for professors, help professors organize documents, and assist professors to complete scientific research projects. The work will be very easy, and the income will be about 300 euros per month. However, the application is not easy, there are many applicants, and the requirements for students' grades and language are high. This kind of work is an ideal choice for international students, but the competitive pressure of general positions is relatively high, so international students need to start first.
