How to find a job?
Finding the right job usually takes time and effort. So starting your search during your graduation or studying in your last semester is a reasonable idea.

You should not limit your search only to these companies because small and medium-sized companies are essential to the German economy as there are around 2.5 million of them and therefore they provide a high percentage of all jobs in Germany.
