Here are some steps to get you started.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h4>Ask yourself some tough questions<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>First things first: decide on what kind of lifestyle you want to have.

What kind of work will facilitate that?<\/li>\n<li>Is a modern company culture important to you?<\/li>\n<li>How important is it for you to work near where you live?<\/li>\n<li>How important is a high salary to you?<\/li>\n<li>What are the most important aspects of any new job you take, and what are nice-to-haves?<\/li>\n<li>Are you looking for a job that will advance your career, or one that will pay the bills while you work on your own projects?<\/li>\n<li>Do you want to live in Berlin on a short-term basis, or would you like to stay for the foreseeable future?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hopefully, these questions will help you narrow down what kind of work you need to find in Berlin. Onto part deux.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h4>Do your research<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now you have a realistic idea about what kind of work you want, it\u2019s time to figure out whether you can find it in Berlin or not.

If you don\u2019t, now is the time to set one up. This will help you to get a good overview of jobs in your industry, let you keep an eye on companies that interest you, and will also make it easier for recruiters to find you.<\/p>\n<p>If you speak German, it\u2019s also a good idea to have a profile on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XING<\/a>, a German-speaking equivalent to the more international LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t forget about other social media sites such as <strong>Facebook<\/strong> and <strong>X<\/strong>.

And X is a great place to keep an eye on the latest job ads. Don\u2019t put a huge amount of effort into trawling X feeds for work, but do use it to follow companies you care about and great job sites to stay on top of all the latest offers.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h4>Use only the best jobs sites<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Full disclosure if you hadn\u2019t already guessed: BerlinStartupJobs.com is a jobs site.

Attend events and meetups about topics that interest you, or less-specific events targeted at various \u2018scenes\u2019. If you\u2019re in tech, attend a talk by someone you admire and chat to those around you afterwards. If you\u2019re in the arts, go to an opening and introduce yourself to the person standing closest. You\u2019ll be surprised how fruitful this can really be. Even if you don\u2019t get a job from these interactions initially, a little facetime with like-minded people can have a massive, unexpected impact down the line. It\u2019s also a good idea to see what\u2019s happening at various co-working spaces, as they contain a wealth of brilliant people getting their projects off the ground.
