Hi,

I recently lost my job and went to the Arbeitsamt to file for Arbeitslosengeld. Everything was ok and they gave me a lot of forms to fill (Arbeitsbescheinigung and a few others). Does anyone know if there is an English version of this form somewhere maybe? My German is not very good and this is a long form to fill.

Anyways, if someone can help me fill this (I am in Munich), I would be really grateful. I am not working at the moment, so cannot pay much, but can buy a couple of beers

Thanks,

"Arbeitsbescheinigung"

This one fills your previous employer, not you. send him right away

"I am not working at the moment, so cannot pay much, but can buy a couple of beers"

lol if you would pay for the tickets as well, i would accept an offer

tickets for what? Are you around Munich somewhere?

My previous employer is a jerk. He will want me to fill it up and even signing it would be too much wotk for him!

"tickets for what? Are you around Munich somewhere?"

not so close, 3 hours by ICE

"My previous employer is a jerk. He will want me to fill it up and even signing it would be too much wotk for him!"

tell your employment office that your employer refuses to fill it up and apply for getting that form "im Wege der Amtshilfe". they will teach your employer real fast ;)

i mean you can't fill it up even if you want to do so, it contains questions that only your employer can answer

btw why don't you scan your forms and put them somewhere on the web, so that the people could tell you what to write in every line?

That'a a great idea! I am going to do that this weekend.
