English Speaking Part Time Jobs in Luxembourg

Can I work in Luxembourg with English language skills?

Yes, you can. The European Commission has a programme called Erasmus+ that offers grants to students and young people who want to study abroad for up to two years. You must be enrolled at an EU university or college, but the courses need not necessarily occur within Europe. If your course is outside Europe, it will still count towards your studies if you are studying full-time. However, there may also be some restrictions regarding where you live while you are doing this part-time.

What do I have to pay attention to when applying for jobs in Luxembourg?

When looking for employment, remember that most companies require their employees to speak French fluently. It's therefore important to learn how to write correctly in French before starting any job search.

What part-time jobs are in demand in Luxembourg?

The main industries in Luxembourg include banking, finance, telecommunications, energy production and distribution, pharmaceuticals, food processing, logistics, automotive manufacturing, construction, tourism, education, health care, information technology, media, retailing, transport, etc. There are many opportunities available for graduates from all over the world. For example, according to the International Labour Organization, Luxembourg ranks second worldwide regarding its number of expatriate workers per capita after Switzerland. In addition, the country’s unemployment rate stands at just 3%.

How much does living cost in Luxembourg?

The average monthly salary in Luxembourg is around €1,500, which makes it one of the cheapest countries in Western Europe. This means that even though housing costs tend to be higher than other parts of Europe, they're still relatively affordable. According to Eurostat, the price index for accommodation was 0.9% lower compared to last year. As far as public transportation goes, bus fares range between €0.50 - €2.00 depending on whether you travel by local buses or long-distance coaches. A single ticket for the tramway system costs about €3.20. Taxis start at €10.70.

Is working in Luxembourg easy?

Luxembourg is known as being very business-friendly. Many multinational corporations choose to base themselves here because of the low tax rates and excellent infrastructure. Companies like Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Intel, IBM, Cisco Systems, Accenture, Deloitte, HSBC, KPMG, McKinsey & Company, Morgan Stanley, PwC, SAP, UBS, Vodafone, Wipro, Yahoo!, Zalando, etc., are based in Luxembourg.

Do I need work experience to get hired in Luxembourg?

No, although having previous professional experience would certainly help. Most employers prefer candidates with relevant qualifications such as degrees or diplomas. Some firms might ask for specific skills related to certain sectors. For instance, banks often look for applicants with knowledge of accounting software packages.

Can I find a good part-time job without an advanced degree?

Yes! You can definitely find a great career opportunity if you don't have a university degree but instead focus your efforts on gaining practical hands-on experience through internships or volunteering. The best way to make yourself stand out among potential employers is to show them what you've already achieved outside school. If possible, try to gain some real-world experience before applying for graduate programs so that you'll appear more mature when you apply for grad schools.

Language requirements to work in Luxembourg

If you want to live and work in Luxembourg, then English should not be a problem since most companies require their employees to speak fluent English. However, there may be situations where you will need to take French language classes. It's also important to note that many international students studying abroad do not learn any foreign languages. Therefore, if this is something that concerns you, consider taking additional courses during your free time.

How can you look for a part-time job? Here's how:

Sites like "Monster", "Indeed", or even the specific job search site of the Luxembourg government: "Service Public de Luxembourg" are not best suited for you, as most jobs are in French or German.

But there English websites like Faruse.com lists part-time jobs.

3 essential tips to remember:

1) Jobs are listed by category (i.e., admin/clerical, teaching/education and sales), but also by language (French or German). So make sure you click on the correct one!

2) Job descriptions are given according to European standards; therefore, they are either full-time (35 hours per week), which means you will be perhaps doing 2 different part-time jobs (24 hours per week each); or they are part-time (25-30hours/week).

Some jobs have a fixed number of working hours; some ask for flexibility.

3) It will be easier to find part-time jobs in Luxembourg City and its surroundings as most employers prefer to hire candidates who live near their workplace so that it's easier for them to come and go.

By the way, if you happen to have any questions about life in Luxembourg, there are lots of people out there who would love to help you! The expat community is very active and welcoming: how else could you get by when not speaking French/German? Join some forums or Facebook groups such as "Learning the Language of Luxembourg" or "Luxembourg Expats", to name two.

In addition, you can also find a lot of helpful information on websites such as HelpX and WorkAway. You will be able to make some money while learning the language and at the same time getting integrated into your new country!

Here is a list I have created for you with various part-time jobs:

Teaching jobs: Most towns in Luxembourg offer native speakers a chance to teach for English-Speaking institutions, such as private schools. Suppose you are looking for an experience abroad teaching children or young adults (i.e., students). In that case, this could be one of your best options - although it might require some training from the private school beforehand to work under strict European standards. Employment and work authorisation for teaching jobs in Luxembourg can only be done if you come from a country part of the European Union (or EEA) or have specific work/residence permits.

Administrative Jobs: Those wishing to work as an office/admin assistant can look into these jobs. You do not necessarily need a degree to land such a job. To find more info on administrative positions available throughout Luxembourg, check here. School administrator (nursery school): Registering with the government is easy; however, you will need additional training if you get hired by a nursery school or pre-school centre.

Private Institutions: There are no language requirements for those seeking an office-related position, but you should still try and have at least some basic knowledge of French or German since many employees who work there may not speak excellent English. Still, they will understand if you at least pretend to know something about the local language!

The University of Luxembourg: is an essential and renowned institution that offers students a wide variety of different teaching and research courses. They are seeking people to work with their international relations department as well as other administrative positions.

Like the European School of Luxembourg or the Lycée Français International de Luxembourg, some private schools offer English-teaching assistantships where you can be involved in after-school activities. In return, most employers provide free housing for these employees, so they don't have to worry about housing accommodations.

Working as a nanny: Families with young kids often require a full-time caregiver. Private duties include taking care of the children, preparing meals for them, among other things. These jobs are usually relatively short term (from one month to maybe even two years; it all depends on contracts). Nannies looking for daycare work should contact private institutions where they will find their dream nanny position! Refer to my post here for more information on how to apply there.

Closing remarks

The good thing about Luxembourg is that it's a small country. You will be able to easily do your job, attend classes and have time to travel - or relax!

Finally, if you want to pursue higher education, go ahead! There are many part-time jobs in Luxembourg that allow you also to take classes (or even better - teach them!) Moreover, there is the possibility of receiving a scholarship so that you can study for free.
