A checklist for employees
Preparations you can do to quickly get your visa & work permits and your qualifications recognized.
To increase your chances of receiving great job offers, quickly obtaining the required visa and work permits, and having your qualifications recognized, you can start preparing the following:
A) Make sure your Pagenda profile is complete.
Fill in your correct name and address.
Add a complete overview of all completed education/training programs from the beginning of your relevant education to the present.
Add your complete employment history to the present.
This allows Pagenda to get all needed information quickly and expedite the procedure for you.
B) Gather all proof of your professional qualifications.
Certificate of your university degree or training certificate, High school diploma.
Other qualification certificates (if available) (For example: certificates of further education, training courses, courses, language level)
Proof of relevant work experience (For example: job references, work books, letters of reference.)
Pagenda will take care of all needed German translations for you. You can also add all certificates to your Pagenda profile. They will not be visible to other users.
C) Make a color copy of your valid passport and have it ready.
You can also add it to your Pagenda profile. It will not be visible to other users.
D) Take a pass photo and have it ready.
You can also add it to your Pagenda profile.
Not needed:
A signed working contract.
It is sufficient if a verbal agreement is made and the employer informs Pagenda of this. The reason for this is that some employers need help to adapt their employment contracts to the situation of an international employee.
