I am moving to Berlin this fall. I have heard that it is not impossible to get an apartment, but what about jobs? Hard or impossible?

getting an apartment is dang easy. although a catch22 situation is also quite easy to get. anyways, jobs? hahahaaa.... he said *jobs* seriously, hardly any jobs, close to zero, especially if you don't master the german language. although there are a lot of "praktikanten" positions open. and almost everyone wants you to "praktikant" first. which basically means hardly to no pay, you're being slaved and they get rid of you at the time you want to talk about a proper job. i think maybe fork.de has some real positions open.

Ok. so how much is an average rent for a central one-room-apartment?
- rabattski0
i assume you refer to mitte? i think you'll enjoy either prenzlauerberg or kreuzberg (as close to mitte as possible) more. mitte tends to be a little bit more expensive. but average price depends on how big that 1 room should be, if you have central heating, if it's renovated or not. it's still possible to rent places where you still have to heat with coals. those are really quite cheap to rent.

you should get a central 50m2 appartment for 350-400€.
OK renovated with central heating.on the job side i second rabattski.

Cool guys... where do u work, or r u freelancer ?
Actually it´s quite easy to get a Flat, the best solution is to join a WG (community or something like that) you divide the cost of the flat...
I live in the Invalidentrs. Mitte...

i tried to find a job in berlin. impossible. someone told me last year that the number of graphic designers without job was 5000.
5000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and since i am not a german native speaker....
btw, i was in fork for a interview, they were nice, and the estudio kicks ass, but they are so web foscused....:/

and on top of that in all ill logic the berlin labour offices are offering unemployed to reschool them to *taadaaa* designers!!! w00000t!!!

what? what? what?
wtf...... and i wanted to come back to germany..... are the thing going worse?
- rabattski0
well rest asure it's not going all downhill, it's odd yes, but quality always surpasses quantity. i think that at least 80% of the berlin designers are utter crap and should do something different. and what comes down must go up so the future will look bright though. berlin just needs more companies, major companies. like mtv moved to berlin a month a go or so which is good for the local economy.
