Top 10 Job Industries in Germany

Ever wondering what the top 10 jobs right now in Germany are?

The national employment agency consistently updates on reported job openings, and the information is crucial to understanding your fit into Germany.

There are around 696,000 open jobs in Germany.

The top 10 are as follows…

10. Personal Care and Medical Technology

8. Education and Social professions

7. Vehicle Operators for Equipment Transport

6. Metal Workers

5. Mechanical and Auto Engineers

4. Energy and Electrical professionals

What does this mean?

This shows how important a technical background is right now.

What if you don’t fit into the top 10?

That means you have even greater competition, since there are fewer relative openings here in Germany.

Think about how important your approach is for securing any non-top 10 job in Germany.

Almost every year the rate of jobs secured from personal referral increases. Since 2015, that percentage has risen from 29 to 37%!

Roughly 3 out of every 10 jobs that are filled right now in Germany, are by a personal recommendation or referral.

It is still the highest method that jobs are filled by. Every single year.

Internet job boards are second most at 20%.

Just think about this: How important it is to get a referral or recommendation from someone.

That’s exactly what we’re doing in our intensive course.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
