Reasons why Greece is the new place to start your career as a German speaker

Have you ever imagined Greece, not as your next holiday destination but as your new office? I’m sure that you’ll be convinced after reading about the new opportunities this mythological country has to offer.

Greece, or Hellas, as it's known by the locals, is a fascinating option to make a career leap and gain new and refreshing experiences. For a young person wanting to take their first career steps, it represents the chance to gain valuable international experience and enrich their CV. At the same time, you will be able to learn and develop yourself as a person and as a professional.

You might think these features are present in every international working experience, but there are some privileges that only Greece has to offer. Imagine all the opportunities to discover yourself in a place which is not only the cradle of the Western civilization, but also one of the most beautiful countries in Europe. History, culture, and landscapes come together in Greece, creating the perfect combination for travel lovers and explorers.

The number of positives keeps growing when we focus on day to day experience. Greece is an inexpensive place to live in: to put it into perspective, Athens, the capital, is 35% cheaper than the average major European city. It is estimated that an adult in Athens spends around 180€ a month on food, which is considerably lower than in many European cities.

COMPANIES HIRING

While we’re talking about advantages, we can’t forget the fact that many companies located in Greece are offering incentives and rewards for people that would like to start a job there. We are talking about great opportunities that new employees are given when moving abroad: accommodation facilities, coaching, team experiences, parties and trips that will help you integrate into the society and the company values.

Due to recent trends, German speakers are in high demand in Greece at the moment, so this comes as an opportunity for many Europe Language Jobs users. It provides a unique working location in a less competitive working environment. It’s widely known that Germans rarely move to work, which explains the need that so many companies have for German speakers willing to take the plunge and work abroad. Specifically, Athens is now one of the top cities where German speakers are needed in the whole of Europe.
