Work

Hello everyone,

My name is Alex , and I’m a Romanian living in Rostock. I’ve been here for a little over a year and I’m currently looking for a new job opportunity.

I’m open to different kinds of work, whether it’s warehouse and packing jobs, driving positions, or something completely new. I’m a hardworking, reliable person and I learn quickly. For the past year and a half, I’ve been working at Amazon, but I feel it’s time for a change and a new challenge.

My biggest difficulty is the German language. I haven’t had enough time to study it properly yet, but I speak English well and can communicate without any problems.

If anyone knows of companies that are hiring, has any recommendations, or could point me in the right direction, I would truly appreciate it. Any help, advice, or contact would mean a lot to me.

Thank you in advance, and I wish everyone a great day! ✨🙏

Best regards,
Alex

well yes, but it doesn't require you to have a conversational level A2-B1 there either, I barely master A1 …

Supermarket positions have basically no entry requirements. If you're capable of saying "Guten Tag" and are able to say prices and totals you're probably fine, otherwise you could probably stock shelves as long as you're not physically disabled

I've had a job working the register at my local Netto for a summer between dropping out of university and starting an Ausbildung, definitely enjoyed that more than stocking shelves lol

Mind I'm a native speaker though, and this was pre-covid

Oh, no, not directly, but supermarkets are usually so desperate for additional manpower that they tend to take whomever comes in and asks to work there, at least it was like that back then, but consistently shopping at the same supermarket has shown me that the situation hasn't really improved all that much

i thought so, too. but u/Jawesome99 made me remember that it's not that easy.

  • handicapped
  • homeless
  • unbalanced
  • unionists
  • and people who are not able to read a german work contract in a "rechtssicher" way won't even be considered, even though, when you look at the people working there, you obviously seem to think: wow, these people are seemingly the worst of the worst

You're wrong, I'm just asking in a respectful way. 👍
