1:1 - Werkstudent Jobs in Germany

A Werkstudent job isn't just a "part-time gig"—it is professional work experience that pays well and often leads to a full-time contract. In this session, we will build your roadmap to securing a role in your first or second semester.

1. Navigating the newly increased limit of 140 full days (or 280 half-days) per year.
2. Salary Expectations: Why you should aim higher than the minimum wage (average tech/PM student roles pay €16–€20/hr).
3. Tax & Insurance Hacks: How to keep your income "tax-efficient" (staying under the €12,348 annual tax-free limit) and why you save on social security.
4. The "Hidden" Job Market: Moving beyond LinkedIn—using career fairs, uni-job boards, and HiWi (research assistant) positions to bypass the 1000+ applicant queues.
5. Interview Prep: How to answer the "Why do you want to work here while studying?" question and how to handle the "20-hour limit" conversation with HR.
