To anyone who can lend any information... I am about to relocate to Wurzburg on April 30 and am trying desperately to locate employment in that area (perhaps even Frankfurt?) I am a computer Java Developer and my spouse''s company is relocating her there which is why I am searching. What are my best avenues to take to search for recruiters? And what is the situation with working Visas and this Green Card Initiative in Germany for IT Professionals? Any advice and suggestions would be very welcome!

" If you are looking in Frankfurt, try the Friday Financial Times, which usually has tech jobs in all the major financial centers. There is also an insert in the FT in Frankfurt (I forget which day) that has listings in Frankfurt (it may be called PositionNet.de), most in German but still many in English. Regards DanG "

I''m a recent college grad teaching English through a fellowship from the Robert Bosch Foundation. Does anyone have any sort of advice on HOW I can extend my stay in Germany and begin a career here? Thanks. Jenny ilmenauchick@hotmail.com

" Have you ever tried the Arbeitsamt (http://www.arbeitsamt.de)? Or you check out postings at universities or in local newspapers. Wishing you luck in finding something that you like, Henrik "

" Greetings! I''m an American web developer without a University degree, and a rudimentary knowledge of German (which means I can ask for a toilet, order from a menu and read the street signs). I''m having a hard time finding positions which are open to non-EU residents, despite the much-talked-about ""green card"" for Germany. Does anyone have any sites with jobs that I could start with? I seem to find ones that only post in German (which make me wonder if they''d hire someone whose German language skills aren''t there yet) or if they are in English, it is for EU citizens only. Thanks for your help! Shell "

" Hello all I am a US citizen. My wife is an Austrian citizen. We currently reside in the US however, we are planning on moving back to either Austria or Germany in the near future. As I understand, since my wife is Austrian, I am legally permitted to work in any of the EU countries. My background is primarily in Business Development, Marketing, and Sales. I have lots of mid-level managerial experience along with an MBA in International Business. I speak German as well. Our move is obviously contingent on overseas employment however, and that brings me to my question. Does anyone know of a good source of information, i.e., web sites, leads, or any specific overseas recruiters that can help me find a job??? Our preference is either the Stuttgart or Munich area. Thanks Much MJR "

" Michael, Unless you have an EU passport you have no authority to work in the EU. You still have to apply for the work and residence permits depending on the laws of the country where you wish to live. Be sure to check on this before you move as you may be forced to leave the country in order to obtain the proper visas. I suggest reading the embassy webpages on work permits for a better understanding. In addition, if possible, apply for dual citizenship with your wife''s country. The US allows dual citizenship in cases of marriage or birth. (This is available on the Department of States webpage.) Good Luck. "

" Michael, I have just begun my employment search in Germany as well. I suggest picking up the Thursday edition of the ""AZquot; Frankfurter Allgemeimer Zeitung. It has a great employment section. Also start researching companies you feel would be a good fit and benefit from your talents. Best of luck, John "

In the Stuttgart area...there are a number of military organizations and they have vast numbers of contractors on board...you should aim toward one of them. You won''t pass the tax avoidance test but paying German taxes is not a bad thing.
