This live online seminar by JOB POINT Berlin offers help and actionable insights for all originally non-German speaking job seekers.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Berlin’s economy is navigating tough waters. Growth projections have been cut back, with GDP expected to increase by only 1.3% in 2024—down from nearly 2%. The service sector, once a driver of the city’s prosperity, has slowed significantly, and unemployment now hovers at 9.8%, edging close to double digits for the first time in over a decade. Adding to the strain, 1,246 businesses have already filed for insolvency this year, a 29% rise from last year. In times like these, finding the right job takes resilience, focus, and a strategic approach. That’s why we’re inviting you to our "How to Find a Job in Berlin" online seminar, where you’ll gain essential skills to navigate this challenging landscape. Because when the going gets tough, the tough get going!

Participating is the right thing for you, if you:

• are currently looking for a job in Berlin or want to apply in the near future
• want to apply for a position that matches your potential and skillset
• want to lay the foundation for and/or optimize your application documents
• are interested in tips and tricks for an effective job hunt in the Berlin metropolitan area
  

Our experienced hosts will cover all these issues and many more. There will also be an opportunity to address your individual matters directly.

Bonus: Participants of the online seminar “How to find a job in Berlin” (Wednesday, December 11th) are invited to join our exclusive Virtual Consultation Hour on Wednesday, 18th of December at 3:00 pm for free and discuss their own challenges and success stories in a constructive and community-minded setting.
