Hi, I am looking for any information on getting a job in Austria to be with my girlfriend. I am an English speaking American & on the beginner level of learning German but I feel that my learning will progress quicker by living in Austria. I have many years experience as a handyman/maintenance & a degree in Fire Science. I would be willing to move as soon as possible. Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

hi, sounds like you do not have a resident visa or work Permit for Austria. This might be the main obstacle. Anyway, try to Google "Brandschadensanierung" and you will get lots of companies that are specialised in the renovation after fires. They would probably be interested in employing you. It is always easier to seek a Job personally while you are here. Firefighters here is strictly born-Austrians. other possible Jobs related to your education you must best know yourself... Prerequisite for getting papers is to prove that your abilities are essential for the Company and that they cannot find a local Person to fill the Job. If you are lucky and a Company will go through with the work Permit procedure you can try to do file all papers right here. It will still take Ages. I know that the Company BELFOR does fire education seminars in English, that could be an angle Point for an application. But we are quite overrun with employment seeking People from the new EU countries, so don´t get your hopes too high. Why does your girlfriend not help you with your quest?
