General FAQ

ℹ️ Commonly asked questions about The Berlin Life’s Services 

Can you find me a job in Germany?

We’re not a recruiting firm, so finding a job is ultimately your responsibility. But we are a community-minded hub of information and services, offering plenty of resources to help you find a job in Germany, from our career guides to our community support, as well as our services like career coaching.

Can The Berlin Life guarantee me a job in Germany if we use one of your services?

As we discuss in our article about the reality of finding work in Berlin, the job-seeking experience is different for everyone, so to say that we can guarantee you a job would only be disingenuous. We certainly try our best to help based on our knowledge and expertise. Several of our clients have reported higher success rates after using our services. cool

If I send you my CV or cover letter, will you review it?

Sorry, but we don’t work for free. Don’t send us your job applications unless you’ve purchased a quick review or a career coaching package.

Do you do "rush jobs"?

Nope. As The Berlin Life is a side hustle in addition to my day job, all services are delivered within the specified time frames.

Can you help me with my visa situation?

While The Berlin Life can provide general guidance as to the type of visas available in Germany, we’re not visa specialists and we cannot help you with your specific situation. We recommend employing the help of experts, be it a relocation company or an immigration lawyer.
