Hello, I am going to Germany with family reunion. I am a civil engineer with 4 years of experience. I don't speak German, how should I go about finding a job as soon as I leave? In how many months-years does something get back on track?
Construction is one of the most sought after professions in Germany. For this, you need to provide equivalence first.
You can clarify your situation using this site: https://www.anerkennung-in-deutschland.de/html/tr/index.php
Of course, equivalence alone will not suffice. As Leowoman said in her friend, you have to learn the language first. If you can't get an equivalency, it means your diploma is not accepted by the German authorities. This will definitely reflect on his salary. Because writing is the most important thing for Germans. they never, ever do a verbal job. Even the smallest thing, the paper original document is very important. For engineering, you can go to the university here, you can get the equivalence done. I think you need to study for 1 year, and then you can take the exams and ensure the equivalence of a department that has no equivalence. however, you can apply for a job with the documents you have without having an equivalency or going to university, but since the title is engineering, the language will definitely be required.
You will need at least 1 year after getting used to the environment, socialization, language learning, social life orientation. Of course, this is entirely up to you. This period may be shortened or extended. I wish you success and luck in this time.
