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

Berlin's labor market is under significant strain, with a current shortfall of 90,000 skilled workers, and projections indicating this could soar to 414,000 by 2035. Critical sectors like healthcare, IT, and hospitality are feeling the pressure the most. The ripple effects of this shortage are severe: businesses face the risk of closure or relocation, and there are looming threats to vital infrastructure and essential services for the city's residents. This issue transcends individual industries, posing a challenge to Berlin's entire economic landscape. With two-thirds of companies identifying it as their most pressing business risk. For individual applicants and job seekers, this presents both a significant opportunity and a challenge: while there are more job openings, the demand for specialized skills is higher than ever. Once again, it takes a well-founded approach and a clever strategy to successfully position yourself in the Berlin job market and find your dream job.

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” (Friday, September 20th) are invited to join our exclusive Virtual Consultation Hour on Wednesday, 25th of September at 3:00 pm for free and discuss their own challenges and success stories in a constructive and community-minded setting.
