Most common occupations in active German job ads Boofoll analyzes
104 job ads for electrical engineers. 104 for project managers. That's the top of the list right now. We looked at the 2,637 active job ads Boofoll analyzes in Germany. These are the occupations that appear most often: Ingenieur/in Elektrotechnik (electrical engineering): 104 Projektleiter/in / Projektmanager/in: 104 Sachbearbeiter/in Einkauf (purchasing): 98 Personalreferent/in (HR): 91 Supply-Chain-Manager/in: 86 Ingenieur/in Maschinenbau (mechanical engineering): 83 What stands out is the mix. Engineering is there, as you'd expect. But purchasing, supply chain and HR sit right beside it, close in number. So if your background is in buying, logistics or people management, Germany is not only looking for engineers. One practical point: the ads use these German job titles. Searching with them as well as the English ones can help you find more of what's out there. If one of these is your field, Boofoll compares each ad with your resume and shows a match score, plus the German level the ad really asks for.
