Tips and advice

- As a young person looking to work in Austria, you will probably be quite a bit younger than your academic peers. However, this can work against you - be sure to apply with relevant experience if you’re looking to get into engineering, technology etc.
- It can prove quite difficult to land a job in some sectors if you have a general degree (Arts and Social Sciences). Despite this, you are at an advantage if you hold a good level of German and English - look for jobs in teaching, international companies and tourism.
