We often hear about how fast Leipzig and region are growing. But even with quite a few job search engines and job fairs serving the area, companies and staff that would be a perfect match still have trouble finding each other. As a result, many become disenchanted and leave our area for “greener pastures” (*cough* Berlin). So we lose many bright, promising job-seekers of diverse backgrounds and talents – and job-givers as well, in a vicious cycle.

As the only local-based international web magazine, The Leipzig Glocal is in touch with this reality. We are organizing this job fair to connect great companies with qualified employees among the broad, diverse audience we have been building up. The 1st Leipzig Glocal Job Fair, is done in cooperation with Basislager Coworking, Universität Leipzig Career Service, and Techniker Krankenkasse (TK). It is Leipzig’s job fair catering specifically to international-minded people: foreigners and Germans with experience in local and more global contexts (“glocals”).

You will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with representatives from established and start-up companies and talk about employment and internship opportunities. There will be presentations on working and hiring in Germany, pitches, as well as a professional CV check (in English and auf Deutsch) and the opportunity to ask experts questions on working in Germany.

All interested job-seekers and companies with local headquarters or branches are invited to join. The event is free for job-seekers, who must register through this portal, and first-come, first-served for job-givers, who must purchase a space in advance.
