How to find a job in Austria

Attention – it is a big misunderstanding that it is the task of the AMS to find you a job. That’s not true. That’s your job! The task of the AMS is to support you through courses, further education, an online job portal and as a consultant. This means that if you want a job, you have to search for it yourself.

  • Employer / Employee: Most people in Austria are employed, which means that they work for a company, have a boss and colleagues and receive their net-salary automatically on their bank account. In that case, all taxes and charges are already deducted.

  • Someone who is very hardworking and wants to achieve a lot, can also do both at the same time – being employed and work self-employed.
