How easy is it to get a job in austria for non-german speaker?

Question

im not asking for qualified jobs now. but a job students often do. what do they actually do to stay alive?

Answer 1

Your best bet is to work in the tourism industry especially in a city that receives the most international tourists like Vienna, Salzburg, Innsbruck, etc. You could work in a hotel or pension that deals mainly with English speaking tourists (work at the concierge or tidy rooms), or a tour agency that needs English speaking tour guides or assistants, or work at an English/Australian/Canadian/American themed bar or restaurant as a waitress. During the summer months, farms and vineyards are always looking for labourers. Here's a good website to look at:

Answer 3

There are immigrants in Austria from many parts of the world. One can work as a waiter. If you speak English, it's not a problem. Austrians speak good English. If English is your native tongue, learning German would not be hard.

Answer 4

If you are from a non EU country I am not sure if a student's visa will allow you to work (officially).

A lot of student's jobs can be found at the pinboards at the university. Also the student's representation (ÖH) can be helpful.

Nevertheless speaking at least a little German would help.
