About the book
Was drin ist · What's inside
- 12 scenes in 4 chapters: the job profile with the hiring manager, a neutral job ad with a salary range, whether an AI tool may pre-screen applications, structured interviews, a friendly rejection, the offer and the probation period, the road to the visa, arriving in Germany, preboarding and the first day, the works council, the probation review and an exit interview.
- Tap any sentence for its English. Switch between du and Sie in the documents: job ad, rejection e-mail, welcome e-mail, information to the works council.
- Core words as word cards with examples, collocations and job notes, plus an A–Z list of all glossed words.
- A quick check after every scene, interview practice and the Probefahrt: a short job check at the end.
- Interactive diagrams: the recruiting process, a rating sheet, the road to the visa, who supports onboarding, the probation period.

Level B1–B2. Fiction: the company and the people are invented. Employment, immigration, data-protection and AI rules appear only at a general level, as they stood in November 2026: language material, not legal advice. Edition 1: the German was drafted with AI assistance and checked in several editing rounds; native-speaking HR professionals are proofreading it, and corrected editions replace it.
How you learn with it
- Read the German. Texts from real office work in your profession, not textbook dialogues.
- The English comes straight after each sentence. No dictionary, no leaving the text, no lost context.
- After each text: the words and the grammar. No drills, no memorising. The more you read, the more the language settles.
