 Unfortunately the perspectives for a development of the German economy
in 2004, which may result in an increase of hirings, are not very
promising.
This means that jobs will generally remain short and only be offered in case of:
* necessary replacements
* urgent need for specific technical or management competence
* start ups or development of new business fields where positions cannot be filled by the available staff.
To find a new job, especially as a short term replacement for a
terminated employment contract , will therefore stay difficult
throughout the year. As a consequence the search should follow all
opportunities in parallel such as:
* response to job advertisements in the newspapers
* placement of a job request in several job markets in the internet such as Monster or Jobpilot.
* Using the link

you
can place yourself in a pool recently created exclusively for personnel
consultants. With this link the personal part of your profile will be
administered by SELECTEAM, while it will be accessible to the community
in an anonymous form to guarantee confidentiality.
* use of search engines such as http://www.evita.de
to surf through the various job markets (a very easy and increasingly
efficient way)
All these opportunities will cost you nothing except time. But it may
be worthwhile to take the initiative and spend a few 100 € for a
placement of a job request (Stellengesuch) in the Süddeutsche Zeitung
or the Frankfurter Allgemeine. This will bring you in a position where
the companies or recruiting agents have to apply with you and you may
have the choice.
In most cases an important prerequisite will be a good command of
German. So even if you are enjoying a firm employment in an English
speaking environment at the time being, take any chance of improving
your German to hedge against future changes within your company .
If you are not yet acquainted with the interview procedures in German
companies or with the formalities such as an employment contract you
may ask a personnel consultant for his advice rsp. coaching support.
