This is really driving me mad... For eight weeks I have been patient about buying more tickets for October and the friend I wanted to go with is still unsure about her job (she doesn't have one at the moment but we tried absolutely everything!)
Tickets are nearly sold out, nothing changes, absolutely nothing and I don't now what to do... I want to go so badly as this might be my last chance for a long time

that's not the problem the problem is that if she gets a job soon she probably won't get four days off in October...

that depends on the type of job.. if it's fulltime (32 to 40 hrs) then you may assume you will be able to take some time off. I doubt german working hours and time off don't differ that much from our system.
So if she were to start a fulltime job in june, then she should be able to get 4 days off in october. Working a parttime job, she may already be free on one or more days of your planned trip And she can always mention upfront, that she has planned a short break in october when negotiating/ discussing the job she is applying for...

I am going for a new job myself right now, and up front I have told them, I already HAVE tickets bought and will not be there on those days. If your friend gives them a heads up before accepting the job, most places are cool about it.

then what type of job is she looking for? fulltime or part-time? And does she want a job where a certain level of education is required? For tourist season is nearing and there are surely a lot of tourists coming to Berlin, which usually means a lot of summertime jobs
Perhaps a job abroad? They often look for native speakers in Spain, Eurocamp is an organization with summerparks/campings in Spain amongst others.. tho you need to be 18 for that I think...

doctor's assistant... so medical education? or more administrative? and 18+? if she has any qualifications on paper, she shouldn't have that much trouble finding a job.. perhaps in Switzerland....  |

She is 26... she has been sending out applications for weeks but most people didn't even answer. I usually check the online job offers for her. |

Thanks! There are no matches for Dortmund though... Well, I already have three tickets, maybe I should just forget about it and don't think about the other three anymore xx |
