Expatriates discuss with the First Mayor of Düsseldorf (Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann)

Expatriates in Düsseldorf discuss with the First Mayor Dr. Agnes-Marie Strack-Zimmermann

The international crowd really likes Düsseldorf. This fact showed again yesterday at a discussion between 25 expatriates and the first mayor of Düsseldorf, Dr. Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann. The international professionals joined Immigrant Spirit GmbH for a tour of the historic Rathaus of Düsseldorf and an hour long conversation with Ms. Strack-Zimmermann.

The expatriates enjoy the international flair of Düsseldorf, the tolerance of its citizens and the rich offers for shopping, sport and cultural life. According to the First Mayor Strack-Zimmermann there are currently over 180 nations represented in Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf is a city with one of the highest qualities of living in the world. According to Mercer Düsseldorf is currently ranked 6h in a list of over 200 cities worldwide.

Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann: 18 million people in a 2 hour radius around Düsseldorf

The international community in Düsseldorf is very active itself as well: They organize a huge variety of social and cultural events. (The “Japan Day” of Düsseldorf is famous far beyond the borders of the town). Another big “plus” that the crowd of skilled immigrants mentioned: Düsseldorf has huge advantages for travellers (both professional and leisure) as well: The international Airport Düsseldorf is right in the center of Europe. Most capitals of Europe can be reached in a few hours. “There are 18 million people living within a 2 hours circle around Düsseldorf”, says Dr. Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann.

A concern of the international professionals in Düsseldorf is the “Integrationskurs”. This is a combined offer of German language course and cultural background information. The participation is required for all foreigners who wish to apply for German citizenship. The expatriates complained that most of these courses are in the morning – when professionals have to be at work. The First Mayor promised to look into this issue and provide help.

Immigrant Spirit GmbH wins international talent for German corporations. Unlike most recruitment companies the work of Immigrant Spirit doesn’t stop here. The company provides “their” expats with a personal culture coach for one year. This “emotional anchor” helps international talent to become effective in the German business culture. The coach also introduces social and business contacts and helps the expatriate to define personal goals for her stay in Germany. This helps to reduce the number of failed assignments drastically.

Have you made the same experience?

You are well educated, you have professional experience and most important: You have drive and ambition. You want to make a contribution and build a good career.

But German employers don't value your talent. You apply for job after job. You spent hours editing your CV and cover letter to fit perfectly. And then: You don't even get an answer.

There is a way forward! Chris Pyak and the rest of us at Immigrant Spirit GmbH: We want you to succeed.

  • First job interview within 18 hours!

    May 2, 2023
    Summer 2013. My fellow students looked intently at the photos of the two men that I had projected onto the screen. I had to prepare a short presentation for a term paper. I decided to do a little experiment instead. I explained the task to my fellow students: You are asked to interview a candidate for the position of Finance Director. But you can only choose one of the two. Which one are you inviting and why?” Three quarters of my classmates chose the gentleman with white hair - and white skin. Only a quarter w voted for the man with black hair and "southern complexion". The dark-skinned man was Carlos Slim, then the richest man in the world. The white man was the fraudster Bernard L. Madoff.
