Working in Germany: what to clarify before starting in logistics or manufacturing

Start with your own profile

Write down your experience, when you can start and which shifts you can work. For logistics, mention experience with packing, receiving goods, warehouse systems or handling equipment. For manufacturing, describe the tasks you performed rather than only naming your previous employer. Explain language skills in practical terms: can you understand work instructions, ask questions or do you need support?

Questions about the specific opportunity

Ask for an explanation of the complete opportunity before confirming your interest. A clear written summary is useful.

• What exactly will you do, and at which location?
• Who is your contracting party, and what form will the arrangement take?
• How is the pay expressed, what does it include and when is it paid?
• What shifts are involved, and how are schedule changes handled?
• If accommodation or transport is discussed, who arranges it and what costs apply?
• Which language skills, experience or qualifications are required?
• Who is your contact before starting and during the engagement?
