I don’t have a specific place I want to work I am open to anywhere. I realize there will be other applicants with better credentials. I also realize it’s nearly impossible to get a job with no German language skills so I will also be working on my fluency. I just thought I would do better in university if I studied in my native language. 

No, I genuinely enjoy the way of live in Germany. Also, yes I want a degree which is why I must attend a university to obtain it. I would pursue a degree in international relations which I plan to use to find a job in Germany. Not to mention this school offers many internship opportunities while studying. 

I’m much more proficient in English. 

To be specific Schiller university in Heidelberg. 

I am applying to an international university in Germany that teaches only in English. Does this exempt me from the B1 German requirement? Im probably at the A1-A2 level now but I would like to worry about other things instead of getting my B1 certificate. 

Also you mentioned applying early, can I apply now a whole year in advance and accept the job when on terminal leave to maintain LQA? Would it be better to apply 9 or 6 months out?

Is LQA living quarters allowance? So just to clarify I can’t take an AAFES or MWR job to hold me over while looking for a better GS position without loosing that allowance?

I appreciate the post but I was referring to jobs with MWR or AAFES or another GS position. 

I am currently active duty looking to stay in Germany after I ETS in about a year. I read that I can maintain my SOFA status by getting a job on base. Does anyone know any good websites for these jobs? Also in terms of a timeline how far out from my ETS should I apply?

How complex is it to start freelancing? Can you walk me through the process?

Hello, I work as an online English teacher on a platform that teaches adults conversational English in other countries. I work from home via webcam and set my own hours. I am confused as to how I go about paying taxes. I do not have a employment contract as a normal job would have and get paid via PayPal. I keep records of all of my “paychecks” but I don’t know how to file taxes. I don’t believe I am a freelancer because my income is from one source. Can anyone help with this?

Hello,   I am planning to begin teaching English online through a website that lets me teach to people in China. I will set my own hours and will get paid into my PayPal account. How do I go about paying taxes? I’m not sure if this qualifies for freelance because I will only be using this one source of income. Also what percentage of my income can I expect to pay earning about 15 euro an hour working 40 hours a week? Will I have to pay US taxes? I read that I will have to file a return with the IRS but my income would be exempt if I earned it overseas. However this is a work from home job and I could work anywhere. 

Can I join the Polizei on a permanent residence permit or do I have to become a citizen?

Does the Polizei have an equivalent to parks rangers in America?

Do you know how I can contact the contractors in Stuttgart?
