Why the surge in coliving facilities might come from an unexpected source
We are writing this article at a time when WorkNomads is considering to expand its coliving hotel operations across continents. It’s an important step for our company, which requires the necessary reflections about the business model behind this trending housing style.
There’s a lot of noise in the market and claims of people being in the same line of business. Coliving is used to sell the dream lifestyle as a digital nomad, as the answer to loneliness, the housing crisis or as a new business stream for existing hotels, etc. Whether those claims are rightful or not, it demonstrates some kind of target audience fragmentation as a result of emerging issues, trends and opportunities within our society.
The New Housing Mindset
Coliving spaces have been popping up in the 2010s, targeting young professionals in major cities who were looking for affordable accommodation. While now cumulative concerning is the scarcity of available rental properties. Additionally, the pandemic and advancement in technologies, enabled people to become more location-independent, in search of communities to live and work around the globe.
As a result, coliving spaces are now attracting Millennials and GenZ’s who have enough money to live in apartments by themselves but choose to be part of a community, not out of necessity. Their life goals have changed and they will no longer pursue the rat race to have a self-owned car and housing. They might still invest in housing but no longer with the aim to live it in themselves or at least not full time. Instead the new generations’ pursuit is all about the freedom to live and work anywhere anytime. They adopt a minimalist lifestyle, seeking to reduce excess possessions, reflecting sustainable practices and making room and time for meaningful connections.
Scattered and uncatered offering across the fishing pond
The flexibility, convenience and community experience living are key factors that appeal to today’s mobile and digitally connected workforce. It is estimated that these generations will make up over 50% of the total workforce in the next coming years. Needless to state the obvious that in terms of target audience there’s a huge fishing pond. Yet, the commercial alternatives to traditional residential leases are scattered across individual venues, hostels, hotels, airbnbs, etc. Few offer basic requirements in quality accommodation. Often existing hospitality venues focus on the maximizing the square meters to increase the number of small-sized guest rooms, leaving living or communal spaces either minimal, impersonal or unequipped to facilitate the community experience. While smaller and individual facilities simply are forced to have an elevated kitchen table with some office chairs as an alternative coworking space.
Thus, there’s an opportunity gap for an improved product or service offering by organized players who want to go after the higher disposable income Millennials and GenZs. Those who are ready to spend and enjoy better lifestyle standards with community experience being a key element.
The winner couldn’t take it all
Last year the most well-known coliving brand, Selina, collapsed due to insolvency. People quickly pointed to their aggressive growth strategy and lower quality accommodation as the main reasons, however, few people questioned whether the coliving business model is actually viable.
In essence, coliving is a low-margin, high OpEx and CapEx business. Just like Selina, most Coliving operators are essentially hotels with high operating costs and demanding customer expectations. They seem to supplement the coliving stays with the regular hotel stays or vice versa depending on the seasonal variability. Very few players in the market seem to publicly share their real occupancy split between the coliving and hotel stays.
WorkNomads Coliving Hotel – the ‘corporate community hub’ of the future
For little over two years WorkNomads has been running our WN LAB hotel in Bulgaria. In general we have around 20% occupancy from coliving, the majority coming from our own employees and regularly returning digital nomads who value our facilities. Like other operators, the rest of the occupancy is filled with short-stay business and leisure hotel guests.
The ultimate goal of our WN LAB Hotel is to serve exclusively as a flexible working and living hub for WorkNomads’ remote employees and engineering services clients. Already today it fulfils this function, albeit not exclusively. Currently we employ over 150 people, 25 nationalities living and working remotely across continents. They have the freedom to live and work anywhere. Every day, our WN LAB hotel is filled with WorkNomads employees, who use it as their main residence or main office space or as a touch and go community whenever they see fit.
The WN LAB Hotel is also used as hub for our client meetings. The client and the WorkNomads team of experts will all come onsite to live and work together for a few days or weeks, whichever is needed for the project. It creates a deep level of trust and understanding of each other. More than 80% of WorkNomads annual turnover comes from delivering those remote engineering services to our clients, only 20% is generated from our coliving and hotel operations and this rate will only reduce every year. However, the WN LAB Hotel serving as a flexible working and living community hub is key to deliver our brand promise, namely giving people the freedom to live and work anywhere anytime. It’s our ambition to create a limited number of hubs across continents, so our employees and clients will have a community base close to their homeland, business operations or their travel plans, allowing them to explore a new continent at their own pace and time.
We anticipate that this type of hubs will replace the current corporate offices. It’s a fact that companies are reducing in size their traditional corporate office spaces due to home-office or hybrid work while trying to invest more into designing a variety of social spaces in the office to attract talent and foster collaboration. In addition, offsite days and even company-organized workations are increasing in popularity. All these trends will ultimately lead to a shift in designing and organizing the corporate offices into all-in-one flexible working and living hubs.
Whilst the coliving offering is still quite immature, the bigger hospitality brands will battle amongst themselves for the Millennials and GenZs looking to experience life at its fullest. However, their biggest fight might ultimately be with the ones who’re already employing those generations.

A Day in the Life of a Sales Development Representative in Benalmádena

Digital sales representatives bring proactive communication. They bring great attention to detail. They bring product expertise. We’ve all heard of the long list of skills digital sales representatives need to maximize career opportunities in Poland.
But, shouldn’t we also ask what customer service companies need to provide those with digital sales jobs in Poland to help them find fulfillment and success? The employee experience plays a big role in the effectiveness of sales reps in terms of hitting targets and bringing in business.
So, what can companies offer to ensure your success as a digital sales representative?
Start off on the right foot: Proper onboarding
Context is everything, especially in sales. If you’re expected to sell a product or service, you need to understand the background information first: your company’s market positioning and branding, the competition, and the customers in your market.
That’s why excellent onboarding is a must for sales representatives. Companies who skip this step and go straight to sales scripts are limiting the ability of sales reps to connect with buyers effectively.
A great company takes the time to explain organization, department, and individual objectives and shows how each employee fits into the whole. Integrating each person into the corporate identity and community helps them function better in their roles. Getting this foundational knowledge of the brand is especially important in marketing and digital sales jobs in Poland.
Get better with each step: Excellent training and development
It would be a mistake to think that sales is purely about being charismatic and convincing. A lot of technical skills go into selling, and companies should invest in developing these among employees instead of just relying on their current skillsets.
That means in-depth product training. Connecting digital sales representatives with technical experts early and often. Learning and reviewing internal sales processes. Upskilling in negotiation, customer relations, cold calling, brand marketing, and any other important sales responsibilities.
If an organization reinvests time and resources into elevating your skills as a sales representative, you’ve found an excellent place to hone your career and succeed as a professional. TTEC Poland, a certified Great Place to Work®, is an customer experience company that values employee growth and development.
They emphasize continuous learning and provide employees with plenty of opportunities to improve necessary skills. With a free digital training platform full of courses that cover sales, negotiating, marketing, management, and more, TTEC Poland offers employees many resources to elevate their knowledge and talents as digital sales representatives.
Geared up for success: The importance of sales tools
More importantly, all the charm and sales talk in the world can’t help you connect with the right potential buyers, if you don’t have the right information. General market research, customer information, and consumer behavior – these are all important pieces of the selling puzzle. And, you’ll need the right tools to handle all that data.
Companies should provide sales reps with the right software to manage all the information they need to do their jobs. Whether it’s finding potential customers, confirming past consumer behavior, gathering current product information, or computing the best quotes… digital sales representatives need high quality tools to be able to perform their work well.
If a company provides outdated tools, limited market information, or ineffective software, expecting digital sales representatives to succeed is unreasonable. Always look for organizations that equip you well to maximize your business potential.
Get a leg up on the competition: Supportive leaders
No one succeeds alone, especially in sales. It takes a village to sell any product or service. One of the most important parts of that village is good leadership.
Hitting targets, nurturing customer relationships, tapping into the right market segments – all those present challenges that can’t always be overcome easily. It’s during those tough moments that leaders shine. They provide experience, knowhow, market understanding, and technical skills that could be the missing piece to solving a sales problem.
If a company’s leaders show an enthusiasm (not just a willingness) to provide that expert help, the sales team is more likely to find success. If the leaders have the patience (not just tolerance) to guide team members through issues, that team is likely to have a stronger motivation to win for each other.
At TTEC Poland, leaders are mentors. They lead by example and offer their help in any way that they can. They recognize that their feedback, expertise, and support go a long way in elevating their team.
TTEC Poland has an open door policy, so leaders make sure to make themselves available to their team for any challenges encountered. This builds a strong, trusting sales team and sets up digital sales representatives to do their job better than they could if they had to do it alone. Establishing a positive work culture in sales jobs is essential for TTEC.
Pick a company that prepares you to win
Too often, people focus on what skills they can offer a company. Remember to also ask what a company can offer your sales career and your life. Find a company that will develop your skills, spend on tools to help you do your job, and provide you with proper mentorship.
If you need to bring good skills to a company, they should offer not just a good level of compensation, but also a great level of support for you as a professional and as a person. A positive work culture in sales jobs is a must.

What To Demand From Companies Offering Sales Career Opportunities In Poland

As globalization continues to reshape the job market, many professionals are seeking opportunities beyond their home countries. Europe, with its diverse economies and rich cultural landscape, remains a top destination for those looking to advance their careers internationally. In 2024, several European countries stand out for their promising job prospects, attractive work environments, and strong economic performance. In this article, we will explore the top European countries for finding a job abroad this year.
 
Top Countries For Finding a Job Abroad in 2024 in Europe
 
Portugal
 
Portugal is a popular destination for many people seeking adventure abroad. It is enticed by its idyllic temperature, easygoing lifestyle, and breathtaking scenery. 
 
Furthermore, it welcomes professionals with a wide range of career opportunities! Portugal ranks first all-time on our job board in terms of number of listings. New roles become available on a regular basis, attracting job seekers from all around Europe.
Some people claim that the administrative side of migrating for a job in Portugal might be difficult. 
 
European individuals do not require a work visa to work in Portugal. 
However, obtaining the NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal), a mandatory local tax number, might be problematic. Portuguese people are friendly and helpful, so you can rely on them even if you don't speak the language. Portugal has joined the list of nations that now provide the highly sought-after Digital Nomad visa, making it easier for expats living outside of Europe to relocate.

Greece
 
Greece continues to attract a large number of tourists, as well as an increasing number of people who wish to stay for an extended period of time. Many international firms see Greece as an appealing location for expansion. Multinational corporations are establishing headquarters in major Greek cities, creating hundreds of new job opportunities for people who speak a range of languages. The low cost of living is a clear advantage. 
You don't have to spend a fortune to live in this Mediterranean paradise, eat excellent food, and become a part of its vibrant culture. Greece promotes the art of leisurely living, making it the ideal destination for anyone looking to get away from the corporate rat race and relax by the sea.

Spain
 
The high unemployment rate among Spanish residents is worrying, although native language speakers from other nations are greatly sought after by global corporations headquartered in Spain. You don't need to know Spanish to get by in large cities. In fact, mastering multiple languages can help you acquire a desirable career in Spain. The rivalry among Spanish speakers is severe, so any additional language puts you ahead of the game. 
 
Expats in Spain, like those in Portugal, must obtain an NIE (Número de Identitad de Extranjero) to work legally. The process might sometimes be difficult due to huge waits and limited availability of appointment slots. In every other way, Spain is one of the most accessible countries in Europe for finding work abroad.

Bulgaria
 
Bulgaria isn't an apparent expat option just yet, despite being a fantastic place to live, with a low cost of living, diversified scenery, and a quickly growing economy. While everyone else is lining up for Portugal, Greece, and Spain, you can forge your own path and visit Bulgaria.

Portugal ranks first all-time on our job board in terms of number of listings. New roles become available on a regular basis, attracting job seekers from all around Europe.Some people claim that the administrative side of migrating for a job in Portugal might be difficult. European individuals do not require a work visa to work in Portugal. However, obtaining the NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal), a mandatory local tax number, might be problematic. Portuguese people are friendly and helpful, so you can rely on them even if you don't speak the language. Portugal has joined the list of nations that now provide the highly sought-after Digital Nomad visa, making it easier for expats living outside of Europe to relocate.Kickstart your career in Lisbon and <a href="https://www.jobseurope.io/jobs/countries/portugal" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">discover exciting Job opportunities in Portugal</a>!<h3>Greece</h3>Greece continues to attract a large number of tourists, as well as an increasing number of people who wish to stay for an extended period of time.

Top Countries For Finding a Job Abroad in 2024 in Europe

Creating an outstanding CV is vital, and showcasing language skills can give a significant advantage. Regardless of whether you are a native speaker or have acquired languages along your career path, focusing on your skills in this area helps to make a difference. Here’s how to write a CV with language proficiency to get a job. 

Should I Include Language Skills on My Resume?

Yes! It is good to include language skills in your resume especially if you are applying for jobs in multinational companies or positions that require interaction with diverse teams or clients. The ability to communicate well and adapt to different situations through multiple languages makes one suitable for any employer. According to a Rosetta Stone survey, up to 35% of employers said that a candidate’s or employee’s second language proficiency prompts them to:

Offer a job extension
Invite the candidate for interview 
Make a recommendation for promotion

How Can I Determine What Level My Language Skills Are?

Before putting down your language proficiency levels on the resume you need to understand what they actually mean. Below is what can help you assess it:

Determine Fluency in a Foreign Language

It is best to start by looking at how much knowledge there is about each of these areas according to the Common European Framework levels (CEFR). There are six CEFR prifciency levels – A1 (beginner), A2 (elementary), B1 (intermediate), B2 (upper intermediate), C1 (advanced) and C2 (proficient). Consider your reading, writing, listening and speaking capabilities.

Assess Your Abilities Using Various Aspects Of The Given Language

You should analyze all the four major skill categories of a language: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Reflecting upon such self-evaluations will help you know where you need improvement as well as areas of strength. For instance, one may be very good when it comes to reading and writing in another language but weak in oral communication skills.

Sit for a language proficiency test

For formal assessment purposes, consider sitting for a recognized examination such as TOEFL, IELTS, DELF, or DELE. These tests can give an official proof of your language proficiency to include in your CV.

Where Should I Put Language Skills on My Resume?

Skills Section

The skill section is a common place to list language skills. You can simply put down languages and their levels of proficiency in this part. This part usually comes after work experience and education sections.

Professional Experience

You might want to add your language skills into descriptions of your professional experiences if they play such a vital role for you. For example, when one says that he or she negotiated contracts with international clients using Spanish, it means that this person has some competency level in Spanish at least.

Education Section

If you studied any languages formally, include them in the education section of your resume. Significant achievements or certifications may also be mentioned together with relevant courses or degrees taken.

Summary or Objective Section

When applying for jobs where language proficiency is very crucial, mentioning them in the summary or objective section at the top of your resume will attract employers’ attention immediately.

How Do I Indicate Language Levels on My Resume?

It is important to present your expertise levels properly while listing down these abilities into resume format that will make sense to potential employers. Here’s how you can effectively present your proficiency levels:

Use Standardized Terms

To describe language ability, use well-known terms:

Mother-tongue/ Bilingual: A language which is spoken like a second nature

Fluent: For languages you use as if they were your mother tongue.

Proficient: For languages you can use for commercial purposes.

Intermediate: For languages you comprehend and speak but yet imperfectly.

Basic: For languages you can communicate with at basic level.

Detail Your Skills

Instead of just listing the language, provide a brief description of your proficiency in different areas. For example:

Spanish (Fluent): Competent in speaking, reading, and writing.
French (Intermediate): Able to do business conversations and understand written content.

Highlight Relevant Experience

An experience which used the language in a professional setting can be mentioned. It could be previous jobs or internships or volunteer work where you used your language skills.

Include Certifications

If you have taken any language proficiency exams, list the certifications and scores. This provides concrete evidence of your skills. For instance:

TOEFL (English): Scores 110/120
DELF B2 (French): Certified intermediate proficiency

Tips for Showcasing Language Skills

Here are some additional tips to effectively showcase your language skills on your resume:

Be Honest: Never exaggerate your language abilities; this may come back to haunt you later on by putting yourself in embarrassing situations or damaging your credibility.
Keep It Relevant: Tailor the language skills you include based on the job requirements; concentrate only on those pertinent to the position being applied for.
Quantify Your Experience: Where possible, quantify your experience with languages; add how many years studied or used the language and any specific achievements such as “Conducted weekly meetings in German for three years.”
Stay Updated: keep updating your resume with current levels of your language proficiency; reflect these changes as they occur when improving upon yourself or getting new certifications from time to time.

Conclusion

Effectively showcasing your language proficiency on your resume can significantly enhance your job prospects, particularly in an increasingly globalized job market. By accurately assessing your language skills, strategically placing them on your resume, and providing detailed descriptions, you can demonstrate your value to potential employers. You need to be honest, relevant, and clear in your presentation to make the best impression. Looking for the latest job offering in Europe? Then you should check Jobs Europe.

Top Tips on How to Include Language Skills on Your CV / Resume

Millions of people leave their home countries with hopes of finding something bigger in a foreign country. You may be one of those people as well. If so, we are here to provide you with the information and encouragement that you will need to finalize your decision!
 
Poland, a country in Central Europe with one of the fastest-growing economies that also offers foreign workers some of the most amazing employment opportunities, is a great option. If you are thinking of moving to Poland, you will instantly get access to a better lifestyle by getting medical services of high quality and a lower cost of living. Getting to know what it is like to be actually working in Poland helps you make that final call. Today, we are here to discuss the benefits of moving to Poland and why you should definitely relocate there as well. 
 
Why Would You Work in Poland?
 
We have put together a list of several practical reasons why it is a great idea to move to Poland as your next work destination. Here are a few of them:

Cost of Living
The majority of foreigners appreciate Poland because of the lower living costs when compared to other parts of Europe. If you have had the opportunity to live in the Western and Northern countries of Europe, you will instantly realize how true this is. Your monthly expenses depend on you and how much you are spending, but it is true that if you are looking to save some money after getting all your essentials, it is a lot easier to do in Poland. This becomes even easier if you are working for an international industry or organization. According to the information provided by Think Europe, the average cost of living for international students in Poland ranges between EUR 4,000 and EUR 6,000 annually - source.

Location
Poland has a great location that puts the country geographically at the center of Europe. Traveling around Europe becomes fairly simple. Another great thing about this country is that they have built some great modern railway and motorway systems that allow passengers to travel quickly throughout all the different cities of Poland. If you are someone who loves to travel, you are sure to come across several different international air, sea, and land connections. 
 
Health Care
Poland's healthcare system is quite cheap compared to other places in the world. However, just because healthcare is cheaper does not mean that quality is bad either. Poland is basically offering you cheaper healthcare that gives you access to some of the best medical specialists who are not only experienced but also highly qualified.
 
As a part of your employee benefits rewards, you are most likely to be given private healthcare from a Polish organization if you are able to get yourself a full-time working contract with them. Registering for public healthcare requires you to be a resident of the country. The majority of the doctors in Poland speak English, which makes it a lot easier for foreign travelers or workers more comfortable and makes the medical process a lot more efficient. 

Food
We need to talk about food because if you are planning to relocate to another country, you need to know about its food. You will be delighted to know that Polish food is not only delicious but also loved by all travelers and visitors to Poland. The country's traditional cuisine includes dishes for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. If you are vegan, then you have nothing to worry about since most restaurants offer several different vegan dishes!

Professional Qualifications
The United Kingdom has a free trade agreement with the European Union. Why is that relevant? Because of this agreement, a majority of Polish employers recognize professional qualifications from foreign countries as well. Poland's university system, schooling, and education system, in general, have many similarities to British education, so adjusting to the system may be easier for some people. 
 
Moreover, many of the major organizations operating in Poland have extensive experience hiring foreigners. This is why hiring managers are more likely to understand and approve acceptable international qualifications. 
 
Something to keep in mind about this is that some cases require you to have your documents formally translated. For example, if you want to go for an academic career or study a doctoral program at a Polish university, you may be required to translate your documents. 
 
 
What Should You Do to Get a Job in Poland?
Often, it is more challenging to get a job, especially when you first move into a new place. If you want to get employed as soon as you move to Poland, then here are some tips from us:

1.   Contacting Companies Directly
Another effective approach to finding a job in Poland is to reach out directly to companies that you are interested in working for.

Global companies like TTEC Poland, BCD Travel, Shell, Telus International, Amway, Accenture, Kimberley-Clark, and many others are known for their presence in Poland and their need for bilingual employees.
 
By contacting these companies directly, you can express your interest in working for them and inquire about any job openings they may have. This proactive approach allows you to target specific companies that align with your career goals and qualifications. Additionally, it demonstrates your initiative and enthusiasm for joining their team, which can make a positive impression on hiring managers.
 
Networking can also play a crucial role in this approach. Attend industry events, job fairs, and networking functions where you can connect with professionals working in your field of interest. Building relationships with individuals already employed at your target companies can provide valuable insights and potentially lead to job opportunities.
 
Overall, contacting companies directly is a proactive strategy that can complement your job search efforts in Poland, offering you a direct pathway to potential employment opportunities.

The majority of the doctors in Poland speak English, which makes it a lot easier for foreign travelers or workers more comfortable and makes the medical process a lot more efficient. <h3>Food</h3>We need to talk about food because if you are planning to relocate to another country, you need to know about its food. You will be delighted to know that Polish food is not only delicious but also loved by all travelers and visitors to Poland. The country's traditional cuisine includes dishes for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. If you are vegan, then you have nothing to worry about since most restaurants offer several different vegan dishes! <h3>Professional Qualifications</h3>The United Kingdom has a free trade agreement with the European Union. Why is that relevant? Because of this agreement, a majority of Polish employers recognize professional qualifications from foreign countries as well. Poland's university system, schooling, and education system, in general, have many similarities to British education, so adjusting to the system may be easier for some people. &nbsp;Moreover, many of the major organizations operating in Poland have extensive experience hiring foreigners. This is why hiring managers are more likely to understand and approve acceptable international qualifications. &nbsp;Something to keep in mind about this is that some cases require you to have your documents formally translated. For example, if you want to go for an academic career or study a doctoral program at a Polish university, you may be required to translate your documents. &nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>What Should You Do to Get a Job in Poland?</h2>Often, it is more challenging to get a job, especially when you first move into a new place. If you want to get employed as soon as you move to Poland, then here are some tips from us: <h3>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Contacting Companies Directly</h3>Another effective approach to finding a job in Poland is to reach out directly to companies that you are interested in working for.

Welcome, prospective German residents! If you're planning on moving to Germany 🇩🇪, you've stumbled upon the right guide. This is your ultimate relocation handbook packed with all you need to know about making Deutschland your new home. In this guide, we'll cover a variety of crucial subjects including obtaining German residency, embracing the diverse German culture, navigating through expat life in Germany, and even some tips for finding a job. Stick with us, and you'll be equipped to make your move with confidence!

Before You Move

Whether you're pursuing a job opportunity in Germany, looking for an adventure, or have specific personal reasons, moving to Germany can be an exciting, life-changing experience. How smoothly your relocation goes will often hinge on how well you prepare. So, let's get started!

Do your Research and Plan

A key step to a successful move is doing your homework about your future home. Make sure to dive into the country's cost of living, rental market, healthcare system, and tax regulations. Understanding the German culture and language can also immensely improve your transition.

Learn some German phrases to better communicate 
Research different cities to find the one that suits your lifestyle
Assess the cost of living and prepare a budget

Visa Requirements and Residency Permits

Germany has different visa types and residency permits, and knowing which one you require is vital. Most non-EU expats will require a visa to enter, followed by a residency permit to stay long-term. It is recommended to check the requirements well ahead of time and contact the German embassy when in doubt. 

Know the different visa types and determine your eligibility. Find more information on how to apply for a work visa, student visa, job seeker visa, and freelance visa.
Familiarize yourself with the process of applying for a residency permit and registration. In Germany, the registration procedure is referred to as Anmeldung. This involves visiting a government office to officially record your address and notifying authorities of your status as a new resident in the neighborhood.

Find a Place to Live in Germany

When you're moving to Germany, an essential first step will be finding a place to call home. Whether you decide to rent or buy a property will depend on various factors, including your finances, duration of stay, and personal preference.

Renting vs. Buying a Property in Germany

Renting is a popular choice for expats, especially when first moving to Germany. It provides flexibility and the opportunity to get to know areas and neighborhoods better before committing to a long-term investment. On the other hand, buying property can be a great investment, but it comes with responsibilities, and the process can be quite complex for non-residents.

Renting: flexible, less responsibility, and less complicated. You can find many furnished apartments or rooms on popular rental websites in Germany like ImmobilienScout24, Immowelt, Immonet, Immobilio, Homelike, Wunderflats, Housing Anywhere, and Uniplaces. Find more information on [Renting in Germany Here]
Buying: potential long-term investment but more responsibility and complexity. In German, buying a house is referred to as 'Haus kaufen,' and if you're interested in an apartment, you'd be searching for an 'Eigentumswohnung,' meaning ownership flat. The overall term for real estate in German is 'Immobilie. Whether purchasing a property in Germany is a worthwhile investment hinges on your perspective on property ownership, financial situation, and the purpose of the house. For personalized insights, consider using Hypofriend's buying or renting calculator - a user-friendly digital mortgage service catering to expats.

Popular Cities for Expats in Germany

Germany boasts a range of cosmopolitan cities that offer a high standard of living. Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt are particularly popular among expats due to their bustling city life, excellent work opportunities, and cultural offerings. However, smaller cities such as Leipzig and Heidelberg also have a lot to offer, with quieter environments but equally rich cultural scenes and good job prospects. You can take a look at the top 10 cities in Germany for Expats to live in 2023 by Expatica.

Settling In

Germany welcomes you with open arms, but there are a few administrative tasks you should conquer first. 

Registering your Address in Germany

Once you have secured your residence, you must register your address with the local Einwohnermeldeamt (Residents' Registration Office). This is a legally required step and should be done within 14 days of moving in. You'll need proof of residence, a passport, and in some cases, a rental agreement. 

Opening a Bank Account

Having a German bank account can significantly simplify various aspects of your life, such as handling rent payments, utility bills, and receiving your salary when you start working. Many banks offer support in English for expatriates, enhancing the overall convenience. Just remember to carry identification and proof of residency for a smooth process. It is important to note that having a German bank account is a prerequisite for your employer to pay your salary. Thus, taking prompt action in this regard is crucial for a seamless transition into your new work environment. Explore more information in this extensive guide from Simple Germany - that highlights the top German banks in Germany catering to English speakers and foreigners.

Getting Health Insurance

Finally, health insurance is mandatory in Germany. You have the option to choose between public (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) and private (private Krankenversicherung) health insurance.

Retain a document of your health insurance to easily navigate further steps of your relocation process, like a job search.

Valencia: A Top Destination for Expats in Europe

Are you bilingual or multilingual? If so, you have a valuable asset that can set you apart from other job candidates. However, it's important to showcase your language skills in the best way possible on your CV/resume. We'll outline the benefits of showing your language capabilities, give you tips on how to list your languages, as well as examples of how to describe your language skills in a CV/Resume or covering letter. Let's get started!

1. Benefits of listing your language skills
So, why should I list my languages? For starters, it will show employers that you have a valuable asset that can set you apart from other job candidates. In other words, it helps you get that job you're looking for. In today's increasingly globalized and interconnected world, employers are looking for job candidates who have the ability to communicate with people from all over the world.
To highlight, a customer service agent who can speak two or more languages is more valuable to an employer than one that is monolingual. This is because they can provide customer service in multiple languages to many more customer, which of course is a valuable asset for companies that provide customer service internationally.
Another benefit of listing your language skills on your CV or resume is that it can help you to advance your current career. If you're looking for a promotion or a new role, then being able to show that you have the required language skills can be a big help. Its essential for the same reason mentioned above. Employers need employees who can communicate efficiently and effectively with their target markets.
2. How to list your languages on your CV or resume
So what's the best way of showing my language skills? Well, you can do this in a number of ways, but the most common method is to list them under a "Skills" or "Language" section. For example:
- Language: English (native), Spanish (fluent)
Another option is to list your languages skills according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (also known as CEFR).
CEFR is a standard that helps people compare different languages to each other. It tells you the level of difficulty from A1 (beginner) to C2 (expert). It is always a nice touch to reference something official.
However, don't include in your resume language skills that aren't at least to B2 (upper intermediate) level. This is because employers won't get any value from you being able to say "Hello" or order your favorite drink (and nothing else) in a different language and thus doesn't belong in your otherwise stellar CV. Remember that your employer will need your skills in a professional setting.
Now as for where on your CV you should add your language skills, then this might differ depending on what kind of job you are applying for.
If you are looking to get a job as a German speaking customer service agent, then it would make sense to list your language skills at the top, or early in your CV. In contrast, if you are applying for a role where a certain language is viewed as a merit, then placing the skill at the end or in a designated skills section would be a smart move.
Remember, If you're applying for a job that doesn't require language skills, you should still list your languages on your CV as it will help strengthen your overall profile. Its really never a negative to highlight your talent for communicating.
3. Showcasing your language skills
Once you've decided where to place your language skills on your CV or resume, it's time to start thinking about how to otherwise showcase them in the best way possible. There are a few things you can do to make sure that your language skills stand out.
First, tell your potential employer about when you have used your language skills most recently. This can include when you lived abroad for 3 months or your holiday job when you interacted with tourists who spoke in a foreign language.
Second, highlight objective verification of your skills. There are a few ways to validate your language skills, such as language certificates or diplomas. If you have a certificate or diploma in a foreign language, be sure to list it. This is an easy way to show that you have the required language skills for the job you are looking to get.
Third, consider applying for the job in the language that is required. This is perhaps the clearest way for a recruiter or hiring manager to see how good you really are. The only reason not to do this is if the employer explicitly states that they only want to receive applications in a certain language, for example, English.
4. Final thoughts
Including your language skills on your CV or resume can be a great way to stand out from the competition and show that you have the required skills for the job. There are a number of ways to showcase your language skills, such as telling employers when you've last used them, listing certificates or diplomas, or applying for the job in  the required language. Whatever route you decide to take, be sure to highlight your skills in a way that will catch the attention of potential employers.

How to best include your language skills in a CV/Resume

Making the move!
Moving abroad can be a life-changing experience, but it is not without its challenges. Moving to a new country and working in an unfamiliar culture takes some adjustment, and there are things you should know before making this decision. In this blog post we will discuss 3 positive aspects of moving and working abroad within the EU, as well as 2 negative aspects that you should be aware of prior to making your move.
PRO: Meeting people and experiencing new cultures.
One of the best things about moving and working abroad is that you get to meet new people and experience new cultures. This can be a great opportunity to learn more about the world and yourself. You may also find that you have more in common with people from other countries than you do with people from your own country and you should not be surprised if you make life long friends with someone who has a completely different background from yourself.
Working abroad can also be a great way to improve your skills and experience. You may have the opportunity to try new things and learn new things, which can help you develop as a person. Additionally, having international work experience on your resume can make you more attractive to employers
CON: Beware of culture shock.
Culture shock is a feeling of disorientation that can occur when you move to a new culture. It is often characterized by feelings of confusion, loneliness, and homesickness. You may find that you do not feel comfortable or understood in your new surroundings and this can be very isolating. Additionally, you may also find that the norms and customs in your new country are very different from what you are used to and this can be confusing and frustrating. It is important to remember that culture shock is a natural reaction to change and it will eventually pass. Tips for managing culture shock can be found here: https://www.nomadlist.com/culture
While it is almost inevitable that you will be in situations where it is expected you act differently from what you are used to (in fact this can be a good learning experience) you should try to avoid getting into full culture shock mode for said reasons. One way to avoid this is actually to do some slight research before visiting your new country and comparing it to your own. A very helpful tool for this is the the country-compass from Hofstede Insights. Here you can compare your own country culture to that of another which can help you understand the dynamics of the new culture you are experiencing.
PRO: Improved job prospects.
Another advantage of moving and working abroad is that it can improve your job prospects. By Moving to a new country, you may gain skills and experiences that are valuable in the workforce. Additionally, living in a different country can make you stand out from other applicants when applying for jobs. Employers prefer people who have worked abroad because it shows they can work in other countries under different cultural dynamics and since it takes courage to move abroad, it also shows a willingness to take on challenges.
If you know in multiple languages, you may have an advantage when looking for jobs abroad. Many companies are looking for employees who can speak multiple languages, as this can help them run their business more effectively. Additionally, you can also learn new languages when working abroad. There are in fact over 24 official languages in the EU according to the European Union. Thankfully, you don't have to learn all of them.
CON: Becoming homesick
It is natural to feel homesick when you move and work abroad. You may find yourself missing your family and friends, as well as your home country. You may also find that you miss the routines and customs that you are used to. It is important to remember that homesickness is normal and it will eventually pass. There are a few things that you can do to help manage your homesickness:
- Talk to your friends and family back home regularly. This can help keep you connected to your loved ones.
- Make an effort to meet new people and make friends in your new country. This can help you feel more connected to your new surroundings.
- Keep a journal of your experiences. This can be a great way to track your progress and reflect on your experiences.
- Make an effort to learn about the culture of your new country as this will help with adjusting to the new environment.
