Okay, here’s an article about stating your job title and employer in German, written as if I’m explaining it, designed for English learners:

Wie sagt man seinen Job in Deutsch?

Hello! My name is Klaus Schmidt, and I want to help you learn how to talk about your job in German. It’s a really important skill, especially when meeting new people or filling out forms.

What is “Beruf”?

The German word for “job” or “profession” is “Beruf”. It’s the same word you’ll use most of the time.

How to say your job title.

You use different words to describe *what* you do. Here are some common words:

• Arbeiter* – Worker (e.g., a factory worker)
• Ingenieur* – Engineer
• Lehrer* – Teacher
• Krankenpfleger* – Nurse
• Verkäufer* – Salesperson
• Programmierer* – Programmer

Putting it together – Your Job Title

You always start with “Ich bin…” (I am…) and then the word for your job.

Example: “Ich bin Lehrer.” (I am teacher.)

Or: “Ich bin Programmierer.” (I am programmer.)

Saying your employer’s name.

After you say your job, you usually say who you work for. You use “bei” (at/with).

Example: “Ich bin Lehrer bei der Grundschule.” (I am a teacher at the elementary school.)

Another example: “Ich bin Verkäufer bei Siemens.” (I am a salesperson at Siemens.)

More examples:

• “Ich bin Krankenschwester bei einem Krankenhaus.” (I am a nurse at a hospital.)
• “Ich bin Ingenieur bei der Firma Müller.” (I am an engineer at the company Müller.)
• “Ich bin Arbeiter bei einem Bauunternehmen.” (I am a worker at a construction company.)

Practice!

Try saying these yourself:

• “Ich bin Verkäufer.” (I am salesperson.)
• “Ich bin Student.” (I am student – although ‘Student’ is often used even when not formally studying.)
• “Ich bin Buchhalter bei einer Bank.” (I am accountant at a bank.)

That’s all for now! Keep practicing, and you’ll be speaking about your job in German in no time.
