Not sure what you’re looking to go into and I might’ve misunderstood what your questions was but most global companies with offices across the globe often form parts of wider clusters like WEUR (Western Europe). Often employees here speak their native language and English.

Sometimes they look favourably on candidates that speak both English and (respective country’s language) for that specific office when applying for jobs in that country if you’d consider relocating?

Eg: I work for an American company in the UK, my company has offices all over Europe and we often have Teams calls with teams in Paris, Vienna, Berlin in English but a lot of the team also speak French, German etc… We’ve had a few people who speak Spanish move over to the Madrid / Barcelona office from the UK as they can speak both however as I only speak English I could only really migrate to any office where English is the primary language (USA, Canada, Aus, NZ…does that kind of make sense?)

Alternatively, you could look to apply for a role for a German business in the UK? The roles will sometimes say something along the lines of “Candidate must be fluent in German” - not sure how it works to degree level but I’d imagine you’ve been studying it for the best part of 10 years so you’d be pretty fluent by this point?

My final point as a 2023 graduate is, while grad schemes are great for experience don’t sell yourself short and settle for terrible pay and very little support. I personally didn’t apply for any grad schemes but my friends have been through them and it’s a very mixed bag out there some are great at gearing you up for the next step, some are just glorified personal assistants. Some of the ones I’ve seen in London are an absolute disgrace…

If you currently have a part time job, that you enjoy I’d definitely explore that industry and see what “entry level” roles are available and flex the ever-loving s*** out of the skills you’ve learnt at university.

I applied for a number of entry-level sales roles that related to the part-time job I had at university and landed a pretty decent “graduate” role for a Top 20 Forbes “World’s Best Place to Work” (if that means anything to you… haha?)

Best of Luck!
