Working in a specialty abroad, especially in Austria, is not only career prospects, but also good earnings. 

Despite the well-established stereotype of the country of ski resorts and national parks, Austria is of interest not only for tourists, but also for labor migrants from different countries of the world, including from Russia and other states of the former USSR. The Austrian economy is one of the most stable and prosperous in Europe. The country's authorities pay attention to the development of not only tourism, but also science-intensive industries, mechanical engineering, as well as traditional ones - light, woodworking, cellulose industries, and agriculture. As in many other European countries, the service sector is gaining more and more weight in the Austrian economy - it is in this segment that the vast majority of migrants from Eastern Europe find work. Austria gets an additional advantage due to its geographical location in the center of the European continent and its proximity to 8 countries, which greatly simplifies the establishment of economic ties. What problems does a foreigner face when arriving in Austria to work? 

Living and working in Austria is extremely comfortable, profitable and promising. Comfortable because it is safe: despite the consequences of the pan-European refugee crisis, the crime rate in the country is one of the lowest in Europe, and serious social and economic upheavals are extremely rare. Environmental issues are always among the priorities for the country's authorities and ordinary citizens. It is profitable, because the Austrian average salary is several times higher than the Russian or Ukrainian one. Working in Austria opens up prospects for a foreigner to obtain a residence permit, and in the future - permanent residence, and, in addition, to give children a European education, to use the services of high-quality medicine, to apply for comprehensive social assistance. 

Living in Austria as a permanent resident, a labor migrant gets the right to freely visit any EU country. The investment climate of the state is traditionally one of the most favorable in Europe: the placement of funds in various sectors of the economy or in Austrian real estate is considered to be a reasonable and profitable step. 

In most cases, the employer will require proficiency in English or German at a high enough level to perform official duties, and sometimes this will be a prerequisite for obtaining a work permit. Austria welcomes foreign citizens who apply for work, but only with a high level of their qualifications and in-demand specialties. For this purpose, a point system was developed, which displays all the necessary parameters of an employee. To obtain a work visa you need to score 70 points. 

What are the most popular jobs in Austria?

Austria does not feel an acute need for foreign workers, therefore those applicants who own one of the currently demanded professions can rely on a jobs in austria for Indian, are ready to confirm the high level of their qualifications (including legalizing a diploma), and know German quite well and meets a number of other requirements. The second category of applicants includes migrants applying for jobs in austria that are not in particular demand among the local population, for example, for the positions of nurses, governesses, cleaners, handymen, au pair, seasonal workers, etc. 

The high level of development of medicine in the country is supported not only by internal resources, but also by the attraction of highly qualified specialists from abroad. With a high degree of probability, an experienced doctor who speaks German and uses the latest techniques and technologies in his work will find his place in Austria. There is a certain demand for junior medical personnel. As in most European countries, a professional IT specialist will not be left without work in Austria. A number of industries require experienced engineering personnel. The list of professions in demand in 2021 in the country is as follows: 

  • doctors of various specialties; 

  • certified nurses; 

  • specialists in the field; 

  • engineers of mechanical engineering and power engineering; 

  • roofers; 

  • turners;

  • milling cutters. 

Among the vacancies most often offered by employment agencies in 2021 to foreigners in Austria: 

  • bartender; 

  • waiter; 

  • carpenter; 

  • plumber; 

  • bus driver; 

  • cleaning woman; 

  • mechanic; 

  • builder; 

  • electrician; 

  • kitchen assistant; 

  • welder; 

  • mason. 

How can I get a job in Austria?

It is very easy to search through an agency or website. Experienced employees will tell you how to find a jobs in austria for Pakistani: they will select an acceptable position, help with documents. In this case, you are insured against stupid mistakes due to bureaucratic subtleties. If this is not possible, it is better to consult with friends who already have similar experience. They will probably be able to tell you how to avoid difficulties. You can find a place without intermediaries via the Internet. Often, various organizations directly post advertisements on vacancy sites. Anyone can submit their resume or write an email to clarify the details. If the applicant suits the employer, then an invitation and a labor call are drawn up. But even in this case, it cannot be guaranteed that the embassy will allow a visit to the country. 

Employment in Austria is available to everyone. With the adoption of a visa-free regime, there are many more job opportunities in Austria to go to work in Europe. The attitude towards Ukrainians changed, they began to be accepted with joy, and even getting a visa became much easier. There are vacancies even without knowledge of the language and experience. If you are responsible, conscientious and willing to work hard, you will definitely find an attractive position. Not to mention those whose resumes are overflowing with diplomas, certificates and accolades. Of the advantages, in addition to high pay, you will also receive a full social package, comfortable working conditions and get to know a new wonderful country. 

After you have an employment contract and / or an invitation from your employer, we will be able to help you in obtaining a work visa. Thus, if you want to simplify and speed up the process of obtaining a Austria job vacancy for Indian and a visa permit for such work as much as possible, we recommend that you do not delay and contact our qualified specialists who, using all their current experience, will be able to provide you with full support in this difficult matter. 

Find an employer willing to hire you. This can be done both with the help of various Internet sites on which Austria job vacancies and resumes are posted, and with the help of personal acquaintances, contacting the recruiting agency of the country in which you plan to work, as well as by independently proposing your candidacy directly to the enterprise. Create and send a resume to a future employer. The resume should include a short description of your education, work experience, professional personal successes. We recommend that you additionally attach a cover letter to distinguish your candidacy from the rest. Interview with a specific employer online. Consultations with our employees will help you to successfully prepare for it. Clarify with the employer all the details of future work and sign an employment contract and other necessary papers. Obtain a work visa, which the agency staff will prepare for you in advance. 

The government is opposing the immigration of unskilled settlers to Austria, as the developed economy attracts residents of less prosperous regions. At the same time, the state feels a shortage of specialists in some areas. These areas include the technical professions and medicine. Professionals in short supply are more likely to get a position, and it is also easier for them to obtain Austrian citizenship in the future. When deciding whether to admit a foreigner or not, other characteristics are also taken into account: gender, age, education. To make the procedure more objective, a scoring system is applied. 

In 2021, a threshold of 70 points has been set for Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians to get to Austria to work. Representatives of scarce specialties (engineers, builders, doctors) will need to recruit 20 less units: only 50 is enough. Points are allocated taking into account the following factors: 

  • Age. Applicants under the age of 35 receive 15-20, while the older ones can earn no more than 10. 

  • Previous experience. Each year of work experience will increase the number of points by 2, and if the applicant worked in the territory of this state, then every six months they will bring 10 points. 

  • Scientific title (candidate or doctor of science), the presence of patents and inventions will add another 20 to 40 points. 

To work legally in Austria, there are a number of procedural steps involved in obtaining a work permit and work visa to the country. As a rule, the employer deals with the issues of obtaining a work permit. Before offering a job to a foreigner who has arrived in Austria from outside the EU (for example, from Russia), the employer must make such offers to an Austrian and a citizen of one of the EU countries. A Russian will be hired if it turns out that there is no suitable candidate in the EU. The employer sends the completed permit and employment contract to the foreigner, who can then begin to apply for a visa. If the work contract is for more than six months, you will need to issue a residence permit in the country. A migrant worker can come to Austria using one of the programs: 

Blue Card EU - EU Blue Card; 

Red-White-Red Card (Rot-Weib-Rot Karte) - red-white-red card; J

obseeker Visa is a short-term work visa. 

EU Blue Card Among the requirements for an applicant for a Blue Card EU: 

  • citizenship of a country not belonging to the EU; 

  • availability of an employment contract with an Austrian employer for a period of 1 year or more; 

  • the presence of a diploma of higher education, 

  • confirmed in Austria; the specialty must correspond to the vacancy; 

  • work experience in the specialty; 

  • the salary specified in the contract must exceed the national average by 1.5 times or more. 

Foreigners who own a scarce profession, who use modern technologies and innovative methods in their work, and are able to give a new impetus to the development of the Austrian economy, can apply for the Blue Card. Consideration of an applica

What is the salary in Austria?

There is no strictly defined minimum wage in Austria. As a rule, labor remuneration issues are explained in an employment contract. There is a practice in the country of determining the minimum wage level through the signing of so-called national collective agreements, and for representatives of a number of professions, the minimum wage is set at the legislative level. Based on the statistics published by rating and analytical agencies, we can conclude that the minimum wage in the country in 2021 can be considered € 1,500 per month. In IT, the minimum rate is € 1,650 per month, in construction - € 1,740, hotel workers receive at least € 1,320 per month. Thus, the size of the minimum wage in the country is comparable to that of countries such as Germany, Great Britain, and France. 

The migration website of the Federal Ministry of Internal Affairs states that the average salary in Austria is € 31,230 per year, that is, € 2,600 per month. At the same time, they earn the least in Tyrol, the highest earnings - in Lower Austria. These figures are almost the same as in Germany, but life in Austria is somewhat more expensive. The amount of income in the country is influenced by such factors as the region of residence, the level of qualifications, age, work experience. For example: 

  • the average salary of a representative of the financial sector in 2017 was € 41,230 per year;

  • an employee of a company providing business services - € 31,815 per year; 

  • a medical professional - € 29,350 per year; 

  • an employee in the energy industry - € 24,400 per year; 

  • industry representative - € 19,750 per year.

 If we talk about the maximum possible salaries in Austria, then an experienced engineer or programmer sometimes earns in the country up to € 60 thousand per year, a doctor can receive up to € 80 thousand per year. The salary of an unskilled employee is usually in the range of € 1,200-2,000 per month. 

Can you work in Austria without knowing austrian?

Is it possible to live in Austria without knowing the German and Austrian language. I want to tell you with all my authority - you can. You can live, but whether it will make you feel good, that is the question. I will consider it using the example of my profession. In order to live in Austria and not know the German language, you just need to be a programmer or work in some kind of field, such as a scientific or research field, in which you will not need a language, and you will be able to speak, for example, in English. In general, I consider English as a kind of necessary language that you need to know, if you do not know German, in Austria. Why? Simply because in Austria, all educated people, highly qualified specialists, whether they are doctors, lawyers, or mostly employees of government agencies to some extent, and I would even say, usually speak very good English. Doctors speak English especially well, that is, I have not yet met a doctor here who would not speak English, I imagine that they are taught very well in institutes. 

And all employees associated with the sphere of laws, and, as I said, most of them are also employees of official institutions. Although, of course, in official institutions, to be honest, they really don't like it when you come to them and speak English. That is, they believe that your sacred duty is to come and talk to them in German. Of course, this is unrealistic when you are in the first months, the first time in Austria, they really like it here, they don't like it, excuse me, they have to speak English. So let's get back to the topic. English is the minimum and one can say a sufficient condition for you to live in Austria, while working in the field of high technologies, in the IT sphere. I know people personally who have lived in Austria for 5, 10 years, work as programmers and do not speak German at all. 

Of course, it’s impossible not to talk at all, that is, people know some elementary phrases, but in order to talk, people don’t talk. And at the same time they live well, they have children, they somehow take them to kindergarten, somehow communicate, apparently, with educators, to school, somehow people live without the German language. Although I, frankly, do not understand how this can be done, because even in the same kindergarten, you will have to somehow talk to the teacher, and the teachers, they are mostly young girls. There are, of course, not young people, that is, I would not say that a large percentage of them speak English ... But somehow people live like this. It is interesting, especially for programmers, when a husband, for example, a programmer, and at work all the time speaks English, but his wife, for example, speaks German, and now the wives somehow, apparently, all such questions are solved, and men don't decide. That is, I want to tell you that yes, there are people who live without knowing the German language, and they, apparently, do not have anything special with this.

How to explain your qualifications to employers?

Austria has decided to simplify the rules of employment for foreigners, this has been confirmed by its government. The country is sorely lacking workers. Although, according to the state organization Austria Business Agency (ABA), it already employs about 730 thousand foreign specialists (430 thousand - immigrants from the European Union). However, this is clearly not enough. The total labor shortage in Austria is estimated at 160 thousand people. Local employers have not been able to fill about 60% of these vacancies for six months or more. This is the official data. 

So far, Austria is only at the beginning of a path to liberalize employment for foreigners. Experts do not exclude that the authorities will actively implement the experience of other EU countries. For example, Germany. She also announced relief for migrant workers, but from 2020. Obviously, the Austrian authorities will require visitors to know German, or at least English. In general, in Austria they are very scrupulous about employment issues, so it is unlikely to go here as an illegal. And to get here to work, you must: Confirm your qualifications. The employer will need to prove that he could not find an employee within the country, and then in the EU countries (only after that he will be able to attract specialists from other countries). For many vacancies, a prerequisite is a certificate of language proficiency.
