I’m an American, 22 years old and looking to get some experience in PR while improving my German before attending grad school. I’m graduating in May with an unrelated degree.
What can I expect? I understand it’s somewhat harder for non-europeans to get jobs overseas, but that Germany is better than, say, France in this regard. So I’ve got a few questions:
[ul]
[li]Where’s a good place to look for jobs? I can speak German pretty well and have been googling for jobs in German, which seems to give me a slight leg up over the competition, but there doesn’t seem to be a Monster.com for Germany.[/li][li]Can I expect to make a living wage? I’m not looking for anything spectacular, but I’d like to pay my bills on time and have a little spending money left over.[/li][li]Frankfurt sucks! Sorry, no question here, but I had to mention it. Lord, I hate Frankfurt.[/li][li]Wanna give me a job? I’m wanting to specialize in Strategic PR for environmental groups, but I’ll take about anything I can get.[/li][/ul]
