With almost three million unemployed, Spain continues to lead the unemployment rate in the European Union. Depending on age and sector, finding a well-paid job can be an arduous task. In contrast, countries like Germany have a shortage of labor in specific sectors, as can be seen on the website of the Public State Employment Service (SEPE), where 17 job offers are announced in the German country.
The main vacancies are for bus drivers, cooks, nurses, and positions related to industry and construction. Although the salaries offered depend on the profession and experience, in some cases the monthly amount paid can reach 2,800 euros gross per month.
Most companies offer indefinite contracts and do not require knowing German, although many of them give financial aid to learn it and report that they will value this aptitude in the selection. In many cases, accommodation is also provided for the first few months and assistance is promised to arrange procedures such as registration in the register of the place of destination and in Social Security.
Nursing is one of the best-paid positions, a job that can be applied to by all those who, in addition to having a degree or degree to practice, have a good level of German (B2 or higher). In return, the company offers a permanent contract and a net salary of approximately 2,400 euros, to which are added extra payments for working weekends and holidays. Employees will also have incentives such as three months of free rent and help for gym and massages.
Another of the positions with the highest number of vacancies is that of bus driver. Companies offer part-time or part-time jobs to drive this type of vehicle on regular lines. The selected candidate must be willing to work weekends and holidays. However, knowing German “is not absolutely necessary”, so if it is not mastered, the company agrees to give financial aid to pay for the language school. The remuneration starts at 14 euros gross per hour worked with a welcome bonus of 1,000 euros.
In addition to bus drivers and nurses, there are other offers to work in the German country, such as an experienced electrician, electromechanic, positions in construction and industry, production operators, kitchen helpers and site managers.
