Hallo,
I’m Egyptian working as System administrator for almost 8 years now in banking field, mainly I’m handling the position of server administration and backups/storage…etc for multinational Banks in Egypt.
I think of moving to Germany now as I will have a great chance for residence according to my profession in case of finding a job offer, can anybody help on this???

Welcome to EasyExpat!

As a current expat in Berlin, I can highly recommend the city. I am the content editor for this site and my American husband is a teacher at a kita (kindergarten).

The updated Expat Guide to Berlin covers all aspects of a move to the city for an expat. I can also offer my experience in my personal blog, Back to Berlin...and Beyond!. Find other expats in Berlin and Germany through the network or expat blogs.

Please feel free to ask me any specific questions and best of luck with your move!

thanks texkourgan for your prompt reply.
happy to know that you're American and speak little deutsch (may be you were) same like me, so do you have any idea on how to seek a Job that could need my profession and mainly depending on English?
i think there must be an International companies that could need IT support for foreign companies, or as per my experience in Citibank and working with citi Germany they were all communicate in English, but while searching now i can feel it hard to find such companies/Banks.
and in my case i can't apply for the move unless i have an Offer for work.....
do you have any advise for poor me?

best regards

As I said, the Guide to Berlin & section on Finding work in Germany offers my best advice.

Use Search Engines like
http://www.monster.de/
http://www.job-world.de/artikel/metasearch/
http://www.jobsinberlin.eu/
http://jobs.meinestadt.de/berlin
http://www.jobs.de/
http://www.toytowngermany.com/jobs/?l=berlin
http://www.jobpoint-berlin.de/
http://www.stepstone.de/

Contact companies you would like to work for directly. Berlin is a really difficult place to find professional work, but cities like Frankfurt, Munich, and Hamburg offer greater possibilities.

Are you still looking? How is the search going? Anyone else have tips? Best of luck!
