Quick Start is the fastest way to matching job listings on NextBeruf. Instead of uploading a full CV or creating an account, you answer four short questions: which professional field suits you, which region you're searching in, how you'd rate your German, and what matters to you in a job, such as shift work or proximity to home.
Right afterward, NextBeruf shows you matching, current job listings from the Bundesagentur für Arbeit's nationwide job search, filtered based on your answers. The whole process usually takes just a few minutes and is completely free. There is no registration, no login, and no hidden costs.
Quick Start is especially suited for career changers and international professionals who don't yet have a German CV or are unsure which profession fits their language skills and prior experience. If you already know exactly which profession you're looking for, you can find an overview of all professions with salary and German level on the page Professions Overview.
How Quick Start works in four steps
- What can you do? Choose one or more professional fields you want to work in or already have experience in.
- Where are you searching? Enter your postal code and preferred radius, or skip this step for a nationwide search.
- How is your German? Estimate your language level in simple terms; a language certificate is not required for this.
- What matters to you? Select preferences such as shift work or proximity to home, so the results truly match your situation.
