I want to find a job and relocate to Germany. I have tried usajobs but the jobs want to hire someone who is already in Germany.

Hi, I was born and raised in Germany and also worked there for a few years before relocating to Texas. I talked to some friends here and there and this is what I found out so far:

If you can find a head hunter or recruiter for German jobs or in Germany to help you with job search, then that is what is recommended. Otherwise, keep checking the following websites and when they ask for an interview, offer using Skype or similar apps.

Remember, in Germany, applications are submitted differently. They often want a picture and your personal history as well (Lebenslauf).

Here are the sites that my friend recommended (who is German and travelling there on a regular basis and also looking for a job back home):

xing.de
stellenanzeigen.de
michaelpage.de
experteer.de (the US site is http://us.experteer.com/vacancies)

Good luck, if I find more, I'll post it.
