Working as an International Graduate in Germany (with BGE Technology)

We urgently need skilled labour for the German economy! Who hasn't heard this lament from employers and politicians? The German population continues to age and around two million jobs are currently unfilled. According to the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK), almost 100 billion euros in added value is being lost. On the other hand, the proportion of international students in the overall number of students is steadily rising and more and more international graduates are trying to gain a foothold in the German labour market. Time to have a chat with two from the target group: our international alumni Meghal Shah and Eric Simo! They talk about their experiences with the job search (also beyond well-known job boards) and smart networking, German application processes, and visa issues. They both strongly recommend mastering the German language and tolerance of frustration. But they are also encouraging role models: starting a career in Germany is absolutely feasible!
