I'm just venting right now cause honestly wtf. So I've been looking for a job in Germany for a while now tbh. I've read some posts here, I didn't realize even natives have such a hard time, with actual masters *kinda* impressive education ngl. I'm Romanian, not even in Germany yet.. cause yeah

I've been searching everywhere, most adds in my language or through other foreign hiring companies are scams, badly written, somehow salary offers are lower than the actual minimum pay and amenities.. (rent) is usually offered, stupidly overpriced and from my perspective inhumane, like I'm better off sleeping in a tent than sharing a room with strangers.

I have a nursing degree level 5 (Which is useless cause I don't like the job) a shit load of qualification that don't involve anything tbh (aprox. 40, including a security one) and a bunch of odd jobs under my belt, a little construction, driver, lumberjack (15 hours a day), mobile security (240 hours a month), warehouse and stuff like that (Normal hours) , I can't learn German for the life of me while still in my country. My reason for even wanting to relocate is kinda selfish. I'm in love (I know) and I want to be there for her, but every single offer I find or I get in contact with just seems to vanish, just f*cks itself off.

I'm 25, very much a big strong gym rat, so I'm all for a hard manual labor job, but for some odd reason, construction jobs for foreigners don't exist?

I'm specifically looking to move in Munich, or around it cause she's there.. but since everything that would make a decent amount of money to afford being there requires a FUCKING QUALIFICATION, LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN I NEED TO PAY TO LEARN TO BREAK MY BACK WTF
I honestly don't even want jobs that pay a lot, or to pretend I'm qualified for anything other than minimum wage, but from what I checked minimum wage is 16,67 euros an hour brutto right now in Germany, and somehow I see adds with 13? What is that? how is it even allowed? At least in my shit hole of a country if you get scammed you can inform authorities through email with evidence and get the company sanctioned (I did do that, nationally actually) BUT NOT GERMANY, I feel like if there was some kind of structure like that in place, where authorities would get involved, without you needing to go to court scams would happen way less.

I find it so annoying that companies will basically prefer you to lie in CV's about your experience to even have a chance to get a response. Like, I'll give myself as an example, If I find a job (that's not just some dude hiring people for god knows how short while you can see on his face it's not serious and you'll probably get bended over and sent home when you ask for your money) in construction, and I do have experience in that from the age of 13 ffs, I will not say "Yeah, I know how to do everything" because I'm sure everything is different from country to country, from levels of detail, to safety measures and materials

AHHH AND ANOTHER THING, I've been talking to other people that "made it" over there. Like one week ago, I talked to a girl that just got hired at an Amazon DSP as a delivery driver, and she was like "I'll ask if they're still hire" and now? She doesn't even open my messages. I think I'm cursed and I don't know what to do, or how to do it anymore.

Tl'dr: I'm mad, my head hurts and life s*cks balls
