Will I be able to find a job in Heidelberg?

When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Heidelberg, they reponded...

"I was a civillian worker on one of the U.S. bases, which is probably the easiest route for U.S. citizens without a strong background in German and will provide access to a lot of the military infastructure (and I believe the Dept of Defense school system as well.) Their job listings are here- http://www.chra.eur.army.mil/ Outside of that, Heidelberg has a very large high tech software and medical research industry, probably as a result of the university. Tourism and acadamia also seem to be very big, though I know less about them. A decent link is here- http://www.e-heidelberg.com/stay/stay.html Mannheim, which is nearby and much larger and more industrial/business oriented than Heidelberg might yield more options," remarked another expat in Heidelberg, Germany.

"Foreigners often have jobs in Heidelberg in a variety of fields, such as teaching, hospitality, engineering, IT, and healthcare. Many foreigners also work in the service industry, such as restaurants, hotels, and retail stores. Additionally, there are many opportunities for foreigners to work in research and development, as well as in the finance and banking sectors," said a member in Heidelberg, Germany.
