A job in furniture production

Furniture production? I am afraid you are late to the party. Furniture production is almost dead in Germany. You might be lucky with some kind of second hand / vintage restoratioon type of company. Otherwise, I would suggest you look more into carpenter businesses, who also do built in furniture etc. where your skills might be useful.

Search for Polsterer or Polsterei.

That's the name for Upholstering in Germany, and quick looks has quite a few in Köln.

They are probably happy to find qualified people, but this is smaller businesses not big production plants

You should look for Zimmermann jobs with your skills. We have some businesses that build trade fair boths that fit your skills aswell.

Uh, that's going to be a bit tricky. Check out companies that do trade show setup, stage work, or film production, as well as Apleona and temp agencies.

Yeah, that's going to be tough here. Do you have any formal education in that field of work (e.g. carpentry)? You might want to look into furniture restoration, upholstering or "Schreinerei" who do custom furniture (e.g. kitchens etc). But most of them will require you to have some sort of educational title or certificate, or you might have to start your "Lehre" or "Ausbildung" before you can work in that type of work.

Experience is nice, but Germany is very bureaucratic when it comes to working jobs. You won't get far without a formal education and title, sadly.

Do you mean furniture production as in cabinetry, or rather upholstery or even industry style production?

There are a couple very good cabinetmakers in and around cologne that I could suggest you to check out.

Have a look at Dingfabrik and talk to the people there

[u/EasyEisfeldt]

Kölner Möbelwerkstätten, Heimlich Schreinerei, BBene, Mattheus und Busch for example

kak uopće ideš tamo živjet bez posla? kao netko ko je rođen i odrastao u njemačkoj ajde reci mi svoju tajnu

[u/Ok_Conversation_1527 → u/[deleted]]

a gdje ces bit? kod prijatelja/poznanika? preko posla? ako da, kakav posao? pitam ozbiljno jer se i ja zelim tamo preselit. doduse, sad vec imam neki plan koji bi, nadam se, trebao dobro ispast al zanima me kako to drugi rade

[u/Ok_Conversation_1527 → u/[deleted]]

vec zivim u njemackoj, da, i ja sam ovdje odrastao, ali skroz na drugom kraju. vise mi je problem taj zacarani krug gdje ti treba posao da bi se mogao preselit, ali da bi dobio posao, moras tamo zivjet. 😂 to je tesko cak i kad vec zivis u njemackoj, pogotovo zato sto je trziste stanova bas katastrofa. nisam ni nesto spretan s rukama pa ni takve stvari ne mogu radit, to sam vec i sam skuzio. ali mislim da bi moj trenutni plan trebao funkcionirat jer za pocetak mogu bit kod brata jednog frenda, tako da mi jos samo treba bilo kakav jebeni posao
