What can i work as?

im going to see my firend in germany, and i want to work over there for a bit so what can i work as, i cant speak german so...

she lives in dortmund
I do have to concur with Hilmar in that it is necessary to remind people the importance of having the proper papers to work there. Many do not know it and just think they can move and start working. It is not that simple.

McDonald's would also require you to speak German.

IMO I would do your best to learn as much German as you can before you go. I am sure your GF will help you, mine did. I taught private lessons of English to Germans. Mostly students and adults seeking jobs that require English and they need a brush up. Now I did not speak German well of course but I was able to correct their English well enough that they passed their exams and such.

I did this for four months privately and made enough each week to help support my stay there, but not the whole stay!!

If you want permanent work there speaking is a must and unless self employed you have to show why you are needed over a local.

You can get one but you have to apply first. I would not use McDonalds if you do not have too lol. I would rather work at a Doener shop or Bratwurst stand first I think lol or wash dishes. At least when being yelled at I would not really know what is being said lol.

Good luck

@Alwin - no worries, I know you mean no wrong, its just being a traveller there so much I know how important it is to remind people to do that lol
