Hilfe! International TU Dresden student struggling to find any work
Hi everyone,
I’m an international CS Master’s student at TU Dresden, and I’m reaching out because I’m really struggling to find work to cover my living expenses. Despite applying everywhere for months, I’m receiving constant rejections and feeling pretty hopeless.
I’m actively studying German every day (currently at A2.1 level).
At this point, I am ready and willing to take on any honest work—dishwashing, kitchen help, warehouse order picking, cleaning, or night shifts. I also have a background in web/UI development (React, TypeScript, Figma) if any campus research labs or English-speaking teams need extra help.
If you know of any local hostels, kitchens, logistics hubs, or small businesses in Dresden that hire English speakers or basic German learner, or if your workplace needs a hard-working hand, please comment or send me a DM. Any tips on places I can walk into directly would mean the world to me.
Thank you so much!
