Finding a job in Germany from India is a structured process but it's very achievable especially in high-demand fields like IT engineering healthcare and research. Here's your roadmap: 1) Job Search: Use portals like Make it in Germany (official portal) LinkedIn (set your location to Germany) StepStone and Xing (German LinkedIn). Target companies known for sponsoring visas (SAP Bosch Siemens Zalando startups in Berlin/Munich). 2) Tailor Your Application: Germans love detail. Prepare a precise single-page CV (Lebenslauf) in chronological order a compelling cover letter (Anschreiben) tailored to each company and have your degree certificates and references ready. Photos on CVs are common but not mandatory.

3) The Visa Route: The most common is the EU Blue Card. You need a recognized university degree and a job offer with a gross annual salary meeting the threshold (2024: around €45300 general ~€41041 for STEM). For IT professionals without a formal degree the Chancenkarte (Opportunity Card) based on a points system is a new option. 4) Language: While many tech jobs are in English learning German (even to A2/B1 level) massively increases your opportunities and helps with daily life. Start learning now. The process takes patience—expect 4-6 months of active searching and application.
