Applying in Germany.

What to check before applying

• Distinguish a Beamtenverhältnis from Tarifbeschäftigung. The federal careers guidance explains these as civil-service appointment and employment-contract routes; the required qualifications and status can differ.
• Use the vacancy reference and supply the requested CV, qualifications and experience evidence. Check whether an overseas degree needs a comparability statement or professional recognition for this particular role.
• Read the advertised duties, grade, working language and closing instructions. Federal, state and municipal employers can use different systems and selection processes.
