The new dates for the #1 JOB-Seminar with Peter M. Barnefske
Working in Germany!
How foreign professionals and young talents
get better jobs, higer salaries and make career.
Germany is the strongest and leading economic "motor" of a whole continent: Europe. Since years already the country steadily offers more than 1 million (!) vacant jobs. In IT, engineering, technology, craft, medicine/healthcare and many, many other professions. Meanwhile Germany is the 2. most popular and attractive country in the world for foreigners, who look for
- good and well-payed jobs
- want to make career
- study at some of the best universities
- or excellent and professional vocational trainings
But more than 70% of foreign professionals & young talents apply wrong for jobs in Germany and sell themselves under value!
Peter M. Barnefske is the CEO of PHOENIX GIR. The German headhunter and international labour expert is well-known by the international media/press.
In our JOB-Seminar "Working in Germany?!" he not only reveals decisive secrets and the most fatal mistakes from over 12,000 consultations. He also shows the best practices, job hunting strategies and golden rules to succeed as a foreign professional.
List of the main mistakes foreign candidates make
Do you make 1 or even 2 of the following mistakes? Then be sure: You ruin your chances for good jobs & salaries in Germany. Most foreign professionals and young talents aren't familiar with the German process of applying & hiring which is different from many other countries in the world. So they fail along the German hiring process. The PHOENIX GIR consultants prove this. Within seconds!
