How to compare vacancies
- Check the occupation, location, language requirement and start date for every vacancy.
- Compare occupations by your German level, academic background and career plans.
- Look at the training allowance and how many vacancies are available.
- Do not pick a course only because it is popular.
My Advice
Shortlist a handful of occupations first, then search each source for those. Keep a simple tracker of vacancy, language level asked, deadline and documents so that you can apply in an organised way.
