WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The German government says it is cracking down on irregular migration and crime following recent extremist attacks, and plans to extend temporary border controls to all nine of its frontiers next week.

Last month, a deadly knife attack by a Syrian asylum-seeker in Soligen killed three people. The perpetrator claimed to be inspired by the Islamic State group. In June, a knife attack by an Afghan immigrant left a police officer dead and four other people wounded.

The border closures are set to last six months and are threatening to test European unity. Most of Germany’s neighbors are fellow members of the European Union, a 27-country bloc based on the principles of free trade and travel. And Germany — the EU’s economic motor in the heart of Europe — shares more borders with other countries than any other member state.

The Polish prime minister on Tuesday denounced the closures as “unacceptable” and Austria said it won’t accept migrants rejected by Germany.

Here’s a look at some of the issues:

How do Europeans travel currently?

The EU bloc has a visa-free travel area known as Schengen that allows citizens of most EU countries to travel easily across borders for work and pleasure. Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland also belong to Schengen even though they are not EU members.

According to the EU, member states are allowed to temporarily reintroduce controls at the EU’s so-called internal borders in case of a serious threat, such as one to internal security. But it also says border controls should be applied as a last resort in exceptional situations, and must be time-limited.

Such limitations are often put in place during major sporting events, including the recent Olympic Games in Paris and the European soccer championship this summer.

What’s Germany doing now?

Nine countries border Germany and all are part of Schengen. Germany already imposed restrictions last year at its borders with Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland.

Germany’s Interior Ministry on Monday ordered the extension of checks at those borders, as well as controls at borders with France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said the aim was to limit irregular migration and protect the nation from “the acute dangers posed by Islamist terrorism and serious crime.”

Growing backlash against migration

The government and many Germans welcomed refugees fleeing conflicts in Syria and elsewhere from 2015-16, when more than 1 million asylum-seekers entered the country.

But as large-scale migration to Europe continues nearly a decade later, a backlash is fueling the growth of far-right parties.

Some people say social services are overwhelmed, and extremist attacks by asylum-seekers have led to security fears. It has added up to growing support for firmer immigration policies — and in some cases, backing for the far-right parties that champion such limits.

The unpopular coalition government of Chancellor Olaf Scholz is trying to crack down on irregular immigration after the far right did well in two recent state elections in eastern Germany. Another comes Sept. 22 in Brandenburg, the state surrounding Berlin.

Economic worries

As the EU’s largest economy, Germany is a key trading partner for neighbors. The interior ministry’s announcement has prompted economic worries for the main Dutch transportation lobby group, the Dutch Association for Transport and Logistics. It said the decision was undermining the Schengen principle of free trade and it fears major economic damage.

At home, Germany’s DSLV logistics and freight association urged a selective approach that would spare trucks moving goods across borders — which would mirror what occurred during the European soccer championships. Those checks avoided economic disruptions because officials focused on individuals and not trucks, the association said.

Dirk Jandura, the president of the Federation of German Wholesale, Foreign Trade and Services, said in an statement to The Associated Press that restrictions on the free movement of people “always mean delays and thus cost increases for the economy and especially for wholesale and foreign trade.”

He added: “However, if migration policy findings require restrictive measures, then this is understandable. For us, it is important to implement the measures with a sense of proportion.”

Political repercussions

The ruling conservative government in Austria — which is facing a tight race against the far-right party in an election this month — says it will not accept refugees who are turned back from Germany.

Interior Minister Gerhard Karner told reporters that Germany has the right to send people back if another EU country is responsible for their asylum application. But that would require a formal procedure and the consent of the member state concerned.

Meanwhile, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called Germany’s plan “unacceptable” and called for urgent consultations by all countries affected. Poland has struggled with a migration crisis on its border with Belarus since 2021. Warsaw accuses Belarus and Russia of luring migrants from the Middle East and Africa there to destabilize the West.

Agnieszka Łada-Konefał, deputy director of the German Institute of Polish Affairs, said random checks at the German-Polish border create traffic jams that make it more difficult for people to cross for work and discourage Germans from shopping in Poland. Poles also argue that Germany first introduced a policy of openness to refugees but is now pushing them back to Poland.

“Due to the negative perception of the influx of migrants in Poland, any report of migrants being returned by Germany also negatively affects Polish-German relations and Germany’s image in Poland,” Łada-Konefał told the AP.

But in the Netherlands, where the anti-immigration Party for Freedom won last year’s election, the minister for asylum and migration pledged to step up Dutch border controls as well.

Slovenia, Austria and Italy also have extended temporary border controls in some areas or all along their frontiers.

Five months ago, software engineer Shikhar Sachdev adopted a peculiar hobby. While his friends met for drinks or played FIFA 23 to unwind after work, he would come home, boot up his laptop, and spend hours filling out job applications, for sport.

Sachdev is content with his job at a San Francisco fintech company, but he writes a career blog in his spare time and had noticed a recurring sentiment: Job hunting these days is the worst. Friends described returning home from an exhausting day of work they hated, applying for new positions, and quickly growing discouraged by clunky application software and a low response rate. Research suggests the frustration is widespread: 92 percent of candidates abandon online job applications before completing them, according to the recruitment platform Appcast.

“You might hate your boss. But if you think that searching for jobs is worse, you're never going to change,” Sachdev says. “I wanted to try to put some data behind the claim that job hunting sucks.”

Sachdev set himself the challenge of applying to 500 software engineering jobs to observe exactly what made the endeavor more or less frustrating. Halfway through, however, he hit a snag. “I wanted to chop my head off,” Sachdev says. He scaled back his target to a still brain-melting 250 jobs across a range of industries and company sizes, chosen largely at random—companies he’d seen on billboards, for instance, or friends’ employers.

Sachdev timed each application from start to finish and for consistency always applied directly through a company’s career page—he ended up spending about 11 hours total filling applications. Since he wasn’t looking for a new position, he always stopped short of clicking “Submit” on a completed application, except for a few choice roles that piqued his interest. (He landed three interviews, but didn’t pursue the jobs.) He aimed to make each application serviceable, but wasn't as thorough as a truly ambitious or desperate job seeker would be, so he figures the times he logged are underestimates.

Sachdev found it took an average of 2 minutes and 42 seconds to fill out a job application—but that doesn’t include time spent identifying suitable roles, and the time could vary widely from job to job. The longest took more than 10 minutes, the shortest less than 20 seconds. Much of this variation sprang from the particularities of applicant tracking software.

Applying to work at a company that used Workday, for instance, took 128 percent longer than average for similarly sized companies in the same industry. Workday spokesperson Nina Oestlien called customer service a “core value” at the company and says that application timing is determined by how customers configure their applications. (Disclosure: WIRED owner Condé Nast uses Workday. Also, we’re hiring!)

Starting Over

Sachdev’s job hunting obsession was born partly from rejection. Originally from Geneva, Switzerland, he graduated from UC Berkeley in 2019 with a degree in environmental economics and philosophy. Most of his friends lived in the Bay Area, and career opportunities in the region abounded, so he resolved to stay.

As Sachdev’s senior year wound down, he began furiously applying for local jobs. But his heart sank each time he reached the portion of an application that asked if he needed visa sponsorship. Since he lacked US citizenship, he needed an employer to sponsor him, likely with a specialty H-1B worker visa. “When I would click the H-1B box, my application would go straight into the garbage,” he says. “I was getting rejections four minutes after I applied.”

But Sachdev has the tenacity to power through the uttermost tedium for months on end. And he discovered what looked like a loophole. Foreigners who earn STEM degrees from certain US institutions can work in the country for up to three years without a visa under a federal program called Optional Practical Training. “Who stays at their first job for more than three years?” he rationalized. So when the visa sponsorship question popped up in an application for a product manager role at a major tech company he wanted to work for, he clicked “no.”

After he landed an interview, Sachdev spent 40 hours scouring job sites for tips, cramming his notebook full of hypothetical questions and their responses, compiling a presentation the company required—and totally neglecting his coursework. Half a dozen interviews later, he got the job. His heart soared, but not for long. When he explained his immigration status to the recruiter, she rescinded the offer. Sachdev started over, eventually landing a job with a startup willing to sponsor his H-1B visa, and decided to parlay his experience into a career blog offering help to other hapless job questers.

Job hunters have long complained about the process, but it developed fresh annoyances after moving online starting in the mid-’90s, says Chris Russell, managing director of the recruitment consultancy RecTech Media. Online job boards like Monster and CareerBuilder flooded companies with candidates, giving rise to applicant tracking systems built to help recruiters manage the deluge.

These systems promised to save recruiters time by automatically ranking and filtering applicants based on keywords. From the perspective of applicants required to laboriously enter their information into the software, they felt like a new barrier. “These systems were built with the companies in mind,” says Russell. “They never really considered the user experience from the job seeker’s point of view.” A cottage industry sprang up of tools and résumé whisperers promising to help job seekers get past the automated scanners.

In recent years, new features like psychological assessments and “digital interviews,” in which applicants answer prepared questions into their webcams, only placed more barriers between candidates and human decisionmakers. Meanwhile, the fundamentals of hiring remain stuck in the past, says Scott Dobroski, a career trends expert at jobs platform Indeed. It takes three and a half months for most Indeed users to find a job, he says. “All the other parts of our lives have sped up. The hiring process has not caught up.”

Time Wasters

While job hunters have much to gripe about, from “ghost jobs” to the dreaded “résumé black hole,” Sachdev decided to focus his efforts on the initial application process. He identified three main factors that affected the time it took to apply: the size of a company, the industry it was part of, and the applicant tracking software it used.

Applicant tracking software was a major source of Sachdev’s frustration. The most common systems he encountered were Workday, Taleo, Greenhouse, Lever, and Phenom, which adds AI-powered features on top of systems like Workday. More established systems such as Workday and Taleo redirected him away from the careers page and made him create a separate account for each application, adding significant time and vexation. By the end of his 250 applications, he had 83 separate accounts.

Newer offerings such as Greenhouse and Lever spared him some of these frustrations. Applications through Lever, for instance, took 42 percent less time to complete than the average for similarly sized companies in the same industry.

Sachdev also spent many excruciating minutes retyping information he’d already uploaded on his résumé because software would misread it. Workday, for instance, would routinely populate the education field with “Munich Business School” even though Sachdev’s résumé clearly says he graduated from non-soundalike UC Berkeley. “Sometimes it's not even the time,” he says. “It's the mental fatigue of having to do it every single time.”

The longest application to fill out was for the US Postal Service, clocking in at 10 minutes and 12 seconds, while the shortest was that of hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, which requested only his name and résumé and consumed a mere 17 seconds. In general, Sachdev found that government applications took the longest—a trend that Indeed’s data backs up—followed by aerospace and consulting jobs. Younger industries such as online banks, AI firms, and crypto companies were amongst the least time-consuming. Legacy banks, for instance, took about four times longer to apply to than their newer online counterparts.

Sachdev also found applications to large companies more time-consuming than for smaller firms. In general, a doubling of company size added 5 percent to the average application time.

While the process was largely an exercise in repetition, Sachdev encountered a few creative takes on a musty old format. Plaid, a fintech company that provides APIs to connect software with bank accounts, invited applicants to apply via API. (Sachdev opted for the old-fashioned route, for consistency.) The gaming company Roblox let candidates apply in-game.

While hiring software has historically been stacked in employers’ favor, more job seekers are using their own forms of automation. Bots and tools like LazyApply use text-generation technology like that behind ChatGPT to automatically mass apply to jobs, to the likely chagrin of overwhelmed recruiters. When Sachdev posted his results on discussion site Hacker News, one commenter claimed to use bots to fill out job applications and ChatGPT to write cover letters and correspond with recruiters, fully taking over only at the interview stage. “Can you blame him?” Sachdev says. “Because the companies are doing it too. Their résumé parsers, their application tracking software, and their tools are also using AI. So it's almost as if the applicant now has this weapon they can use against the companies.”

An AI arms race that floods the job market with unserious applicants and insurmountable filtering tools is in nobody’s interest, however. Indeed’s Dobroski says some platforms, including his own, have begun rolling out a new approach that aims to save time on both sides, albeit also by leaning on algorithms. Instead of sending hundreds of résumés into the void and hoping for the best—“spray and pray” he calls it—candidates can list their skills, qualifications, and preferences and let AI suggest suitable jobs to apply for. “The matching really speeds up the hiring process, and it connects the candidate with employers that they otherwise may not even have considered,” he says.

Sachdev has his own ideas for what would make job applications more productive for both seekers and recruiters. First off, he advises applicants to save time and mental anguish by prioritizing employers that use simpler software like Lever and Greenhouse. For jobs he’s really serious about, he’ll try to make a human connection with the hiring manager on LinkedIn.

There’s a saying Sachdev likes, from computer science professor Randy Pausch: The brick walls are there for a reason. Facing and surmounting hurdles can help a person discover how much they want something. But if an employer erects too many barriers, “is an applicant really going to think, ‘That brick wall is there for a reason?’ Or is the applicant going to exit out of your website and go apply somewhere else?” Sachdev says. “I think it's the latter.”

can i ask how did you get to move to europe? my girlfriend is from asia and wants to move to europe where i live but i have no idea of how it works. like where does she need to go, how long does it take, do we need to be married etc. it just seems like a lot of work... i know it's different from country to country but i was just wondering i guess

i can tell u my own experience! so it absolutely does depend on the country, some countries in europe are much more difficult to immigrate to than others. i came to germany with a "study preparation" visa, meaning i had to get a conditional acceptance at a german uni under the condition that i either complete some sort of training or language course. in my case, it was for learning german. this gave me 2 whole years to learn the language but i completed learning german within 1 year and got the language certificate. the second year i used to do some internships and apply for universities. after that, i had to accept a uni & pay the fees (in german public unis its maximum like 300 euros per semester, so its affordable compared to unis elsewhere) & bc of the type of visa i had, i extended my residence permit for my studies and after i finish that im hopefully going to do the psychotherapy training whichll be another 3 years meaning id have to extend my residence permit again. in germany peope who studied at a german uni require less time to get citizenship also (given that you already speak german at at least a .. i think B2 level?), so its pretty open to certain forms of immigration legally speaking. theres also a job-seeking visa for ppl in specific situations here i think but im not too familiar with that

on the other hand, some countries are extremely difficult to immigrate to but the easiest/quickest route is probably also to study there anyways which isnt an option for everyone. like switzerland for example is to my knowledge extremely difficult for anyone to actually immigrate to, but im sure there's certain cases where its more possible. so it really depends honestly.

in terms of how long it takes: in germany on avg i think ur supposed to wait like 3-4 months to get a long-term visa to stay in germany legally? but in my case they were probs being racist lol so it ended up taking longer and i had to ask a lawyer to help bc they were discriminating against me.

where do you need to go: im not sure if ur asking for country suggestions, but it depends. if she wants to study somewhere then honestly id recommend germany bc of the affordable education but it totally depends on what shes looking for her and her own criteria.

#overall i do not recommend the UK. only convenience is the language but its falling apart over there #plus they make it extremely difficult to immigrate there and their education is extremely overpriced

How to Obtain Bachelor's Degree in Spain?

Obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Spain can be an exciting and enriching experience. Spain is known for its world-renowned universities, high-quality education, and vibrant culture, which makes it a top destination for international students seeking a degree. In this blog, we will explore the steps necessary to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Spain.

Step 1: Choose Your Course and University

The first step towards obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Spain is to choose your course and university. Spain has several prestigious universities, including:

Universitat de Barcelona

Universidad Autónoma de Madrid

Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona

Complutense University of Madrid

Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona)

University of Navarra

IE University

Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · BarcelonaTech (UPC)

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M)

Universitat Politècnica de València

When choosing your university, it is essential to consider several factors such as course offerings, location, and cost of tuition. It is also crucial to research the admission requirements and language of instruction for each university.

Step 2: Meet the Admission Requirements

Once you have chosen your desired course and university, the next step is to meet the admission requirements. The admission requirements for universities in Spain vary depending on the university and the course.

Most universities in Spain require students to have completed high school or an equivalent degree program. International students may need to provide additional documents such as transcripts, standardized test scores, and language proficiency certificates.

It is important to note that some universities in Spain may require a certain level of proficiency in the Spanish language. Therefore, international students should consider taking Spanish language courses to improve their language skills.

Step 3: Submit your application

After meeting the admission requirements, the next step is to submit your application to the university of your choice. Most universities in Spain have an online application system, which allows students to apply from anywhere in the world.

The application process typically requires students to provide personal information, academic transcripts, language proficiency certificates, and other supporting documents. International students may also need to provide documents to prove their financial support.

Step 4: Apply for a Student Visa

International students who are not citizens of the European Union, European Economic Area, or Switzerland, need to obtain a student visa to study in Spain. The student visa allows students to enter Spain and stay for the duration of their studies. To obtain a student visa for Spain, students need to provide

Duly filled visa application form

Passport – With validity for the intended period of your stay in Spain

2 recent passport-size photos

proof of acceptance to a Spanish university,

proof of financial support,

a medical certificate.

Health insurance

Criminal record certificate

Students should apply for a student visa at the Spanish consulate or embassy in their home country.

Step 5: Arrive in Spain and register with the University

Once you have obtained a student visa, the next step is to arrive in Spain and register with the university. Students are required to register in person at the university's administrative office.

During registration, students need to provide their personal information, academic transcripts, and other supporting documents. Students may also be required to take language proficiency tests to determine their level of Spanish.

Step 6: Pay tuition fees

After registration, students are required to pay their tuition fees. Tuition fees in Spain vary depending on the course and the university. International students may also be required to pay an additional fee for healthcare and insurance.

Step 7: Attend Classes and Complete Your Degree

After paying tuition fees, students can attend classes and start working towards their Bachelor's degree. The duration of a Bachelor's degree program in Spain typically ranges from three to four years, depending on the course and university.

Students are required to complete all the required coursework, exams, and assignments to obtain their degree. In addition, students may need to complete an internship or a research project as part of their degree requirements.

Step 8: Obtain your Bachelor's degree

Upon completion of all the required coursework and degree requirements, students will obtain their Bachelor's degree. Students will receive a diploma from their university, which certifies that they have completed the required coursework and obtained a Bachelor's degree.

Obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Spain is a rewarding experience that offers many benefits. Not only does it provide access to high-quality education, but it also allows students to immerse themselves in the vibrant culture of Spain. However, the process of obtaining a degree in Spain can be challenging, particularly for international students. Therefore, it is crucial to plan and prepare well in advance to ensure a smooth and successful experience.

How to Make the Most of Your Study Abroad Experience in Spain?

Here are some additional tips for students who are considering obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Spain:

Research the culture: Spain has a rich and diverse culture, which is reflected in its universities and student life. Take the time to research and learn about the culture to better understand the social and academic environment.

Take advantage of student life: University life in Spain is exciting and offers many opportunities for personal and academic growth. Join clubs, participate in cultural events, and make connections with other students to make the most of your experience.

Budget carefully: Spain can be an expensive country to live in, particularly in major cities like Barcelona and Madrid. Therefore, it is crucial to budget carefully and plan for living expenses, such as housing, food, and transportation.

Explore the country: Spain is a beautiful country with many historical sites, natural wonders, and cultural attractions. Take advantage of your time in Spain to explore the country and immerse yourself in its rich history and culture.

In conclusion, obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Spain is an exciting and rewarding experience that offers many opportunities for personal and academic growth. Obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Spain requires commitment, dedication, and hard work. By following the steps outlined in this blog and taking advantage of the tips provided, you can ensure a successful and fulfilling experience.

The Limited Territorial Validity Visa (LTV) is restricted to specific Schengen countries and is issued in cases where the applicant cannot meet the requirements for a USV.

Lastly, the Airport Transit Visa is required for travelers transiting through Schengen airports without entering the Schengen Area. Is Schengen Visa Open from India? As of now, the Schengen visa application process from India is open, though travelers should verify current conditions and travel advisories due to potential changes in regulations. Indian citizens can apply for a Schengen visa through the consulates or embassies of the Schengen countries they plan to visit or through their official visa application centers. It is essential to check for any updated requirements or restrictions that might affect travel plans. What Is the Cost of a Schengen Visa? The cost of a Schengen visa varies depending on the type and age of the applicant. For a standard short-stay Schengen visa, the fee is generally around €80 for adults and €40 for children aged 6 to 12. Certain categories of applicants, such as those applying for a long-term visa or those falling under specific exemptions, might face different fees. It's important to check with the relevant consulate or visa center for the exact amount and any additional service charges. Why Is It Called a Schengen Visa? The Schengen visa is named after the Schengen Agreement, signed in 1985 in the village of Schengen in Luxembourg. This agreement aimed to create a borderless travel area among its signatory countries, facilitating easier movement across European nations. The visa itself is a reflection of this agreement, allowing holders to travel freely within the Schengen Area without encountering internal border controls. What 5 Countries Are Not in Schengen? While the Schengen Area includes many European countries, some notable exceptions are the United Kingdom, Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria, and Croatia. The United Kingdom and Ireland opted out of the Schengen Agreement, maintaining their own border controls. Romania, Bulgaria, and Croatia are EU member states but have not yet fully implemented the Schengen rules, though they are expected to join the Schengen Area in the future. Who Is Eligible for a Schengen Visa? Eligibility for a Schengen visa typically requires that applicants meet several criteria. They must have a valid passport, provide proof of travel insurance, demonstrate sufficient financial means to cover their stay, and show evidence of travel arrangements. Applicants must also demonstrate the purpose of their visit, such as tourism, business, or family reunification. Additionally, they should not have a history of immigration violations or criminal activities. Which Schengen Visa Is Hardest? The difficulty of obtaining a Schengen visa can vary based on individual circumstances and the specific country of application. However, generally speaking, visas from countries with stringent entry requirements or those known for high visa refusal rates might be considered more challenging to obtain. Countries such as Germany and France, due to their popularity and high application volumes, may have more rigorous scrutiny processes compared to others. What Is the Minimum Bank Balance for a Schengen Visa? There is no fixed minimum bank balance requirement for a Schengen visa, as the necessary amount can vary depending on the country of application and the applicant's planned length of stay. Generally, applicants should demonstrate sufficient funds to cover their travel and accommodation expenses during their stay. As a guideline, having a balance that covers at least €50 to €100 per day of the stay is often recommended, but exact requirements should be verified with the specific embassy or consulate.
