I don’t live in Germany. Can I still apply?

Unfortunately not as we can only help those who currently live in Germany.

How old do I have to be to apply?

You should be at least 18 years old and there is no upper age limit.

Can I participate if I can only work part-time?

Yes, we also have some part-time job opportunities. We do consider your personal needs when searching for job opportunities, but currently, most jobs we offer are full-time positions.

Can I apply if I only have a tolerated residency permit (Duldung)?

Yes, you can start with us even with a Duldung. We will work together to explore your options.

Can I apply if I am currently taking an integration course?

Do I need a certain school degree or work experience?

No, you don’t need a degree or formal training. What matters is that you are motivated and want to work. However, for some jobs, a certain degree (e.g., Bachelor's) is required. Depending on the job requirements, we will review your experience and find the right path for you.

Do I have to already speak German at a certain level?

For most of our jobs, you need at least an A2 level of German. However, the required German level varies from company to company. When you apply with us, we will review your application to see if there is a suitable job for you based on your German skills.

I already have work experience abroad - does that count?

 Yes, that is an advantage! We help you present your previous experience in a way that companies in Germany understand and appreciate.

Application process

Which documents do I need for the job application?
We need the following documents from you to find the right job:
  • Your CV (résumé)
  • A photo of your ID document
  • If needed: Additional information depending on the job field (e.g., a photo of your driver’s license if you’re interested in a job as a bus driver)
How long does it take for socialbee to contact me?

We try to get in touch as quickly as possible, but sometimes it can take 2-3 weeks. If information is missing, our virtual assistant will contact you first via WhatsApp. Filling out all information in your profile as early as possible can significantly reduce waiting time.

Is there a job interview with socialbee?

You will get a job interview if your profile matches a job opportunity with us. In this interview, we will introduce the job opportunity and check again if it fits. If it does, we send your profile to the partner company and get back to you about whether the partner company wants to meet you or not.

Do I have to watch out for application deadlines?

No, there are no application deadlines. You apply for the socialbee talent pool and we contact you as soon as we have a suitable job opportunity. Meanwhile, you can already use our job-specific training offers for free.

What if I reject a job offer through socialbee?

No problem! We only suggest jobs that really suit you. You always decide whether we should present your profile to the partner company or not.

What happens if I get a job that I later don’t like?

We support you during the first months on the job with coaching. If you are unhappy, we look for solutions together and sometimes also for alternatives.
