Chris Pyak has been helping international professionals to get jobs in Germany since 2011. Over the years he helped more than 150 international professionals to get jobs in Germany. All of them are well educated, some of them own Ivy League degrees. Here you can find the success stories of some of this extraordinary people. But all of them struggled despite talent and experience to break into the German jobmarket, due to the unwilligness of German companies to consider non-German speaking candidates. At the time of this writing (January 2023) only 4% of all German job ads are in English. Half of these job ads are provided by only 350 employers. Chris Pyak’s mission is to help extraordinary people get the opportunity to contribute to our economy and gain the respect they deserve.
