The labour market in Germany is very good at the moment. Not sure though what your profession is called in German - Lkw-Fahrer maybe?? Have a look at www.stepstone.de www.kimeta.de There are quite a few search pages concentrating on truck drivers only. I am not sure though if they are good Truck-job.de Fahr-zeit.de Finding an apartment might be difficult without a job. Most landlords want to see proof of income - usually the last three months. Might be worth looking into temporary rental first. It is called "wohnen auf" in German. www.immobilienscout.de gives you options. Just be advised that long-term rentals usually don't come with a kitchen. Something people from the UK in Germany always complain about... Rightfully in my view but still doesn't change the fact that long-term rentals usually have no kitchen and the renter needs to bring his own kitchen. Toytown Germany is a good and very active website of expats in Germany. |
Re: Moving to Germany
Hi thanks for your reply. I am taking German lessons and my tutor says i am doing well. I have my own kitchen stuff (Freezer,Washing Machine,Drier and smaller items) i have pretty much everything to move in to an empty house. Proof of income isn't an issue to be honest unless it's 3 months in Germany. In an ideal world i'd like to get a job with accommodation or some sort of agency that would house and find me work but i think that's a pipe dream. I'll have a look on they sites and see what i find. Thanks

Re: Moving to Germany
Just to clarify Assanah's helpful post the full name for temporary accommodation is Wohnen auf Zeit (although "Wohnen auf" might well be current patois for all I know.

As far as I know you will need to have a conversion done for your HGV license if you wish to work for a German hauler, also you will be competing with eastern european drivers who work for peanuts, it´s going to be a rough ride. |
Re: Moving to Germany
I'm competing with that over here anyway may aswell do it somewhere I want to be.

Re: Moving to Germany
That´s the correct attitude in my humble opinion.
