What should I keep in mind if my plan is to work in Germany after graduation?

Apart from finishing one’s studies with good grades and having a solid German level (B1 or higher), an ideal job candidate for engineering positions on master’s level is expected to do more than just receive orders and complete the tasks they are assigned. Instead, you are expected to be communicative, have your own opinions on work-related topics and to come up with your own, creative solutions for problems. You have to convey this attitude in job interviews to show recruiters that you fit well into their team. The best way to train this kind of skillset is to engage actively in your studies, e.g. by forming study groups, joining a student initiative and interacting with many different students on campus.
