Questions

Everything you might
want to know.

How do I receive the database?

Instantly after purchase — you get a link to the Google Sheet. No account needed, no app to download. Open it on any device, on any browser.

Is this really updated regularly?

Yes. The sheet is reviewed and refreshed before each major Ferienjob season — summer (July–September) and winter holidays. Each row shows a "Last Verified" date. There's also a Changelog tab so you can see exactly what changed and when.

Can I use this as a non-EU student?

Yes — if your residence permit allows you to work in Germany. Most student visas permit up to 120 full working days or 240 half-days per year. Always confirm your specific permit conditions before applying.

Why are some salaries listed as estimates?

Large German industrial employers (Mercedes, BMW, Siemens, etc.) rarely publish exact pay rates publicly — it's standard practice. Estimates are based on industry norms, with the 2026 minimum wage (€13.90/hr) as the floor.

What if a link stops working?

Job listings can go offline when roles fill up. If you find a broken link, all company careers portals are included as fallbacks — you can always search "Ferienjob" or "Ferienarbeit" on their main jobs page.

Is €1.99 really the price?

Yes. This is a no-nonsense resource at a no-nonsense price. If the calculator above showed you could earn €4,000+ this summer, the math is pretty clear.
