Hi All

I am currently living in South Africa. Planning on moving to Bregenz, Voralberg as soon as possible as my Austrian girlfriend lives there.

Looking at the job market in that area for work as an industrial electrician/service technician with skills in automation and controls. Seems like a good market around that there for those kinda jobs so hoping that I can get a successful job offer soon!

If anyone here is in the engineering/packaging/automation fields please reply or inbox as I do have some specific queries regarding South African (or non-european) qualifications and how they should be presented for job applications in Austria.
I already have my CV in the Lebenslauf format of course.

Language learning wise, I have completed the German tree on Duolingo, and am busy with the reverse tree (learning English from German, which is great way to learn).
If anyone needs some language learning tips I can help, as I have tried just about everything possible/available for free (as in not taking actual lessons).

Keep well!

John

Hi John and welcome to the forum.

I have created a new thread on the Austria forum so that your post might benefit from more visibility.

"specific queries regarding South African (or non-european) qualifications and how they should be presented for job applications in Austria"

Have you already started the process to get your degree/qualifications recognised ?

All the best,
