How can I get a job & live in Darmstadt? Any helpful ideas will be appreciated.?

Question

I'm currently in US. Need to move there for family reason. I don't have much idea of Germany. I do have computer and customer service background.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

Since you're not a native German or from Europe, you need to obtain a VISA.  You can not obtain a VISA, however, until you've first been hired by an employer in Germany.  An employer in Germany will not hire you unless you already have a VISA.  Yep, it sucks.  I've done my research because I had considered, several times, moving there to work.  I still am.  I have books on this. There's a lot of red tape involved if you're not looking for work that is in high demand there (IT, etc).  There IS a way around the visa-employer-visa deal though....I can't remember it right now though.  Have you considered au pairing??
