Vorstellungsgespräch

First HR interview followed up with interview Lead Analyst.

Actually, I have passed interviews and arrived to reference check & paperwork stage.
I was applying for this position in Berlin, from a non-EU country. This information is written on my CV and I talked to HR about Blue Card process. Everything normal. They offer relocation assistance for this position and they have already relocated several non-EU citizens.

They have asked for my university diploma to make an initial check with the visa agency about my Blue Card application. And they told me that:
1- My diploma is not recognised in Germany
2- I don’t have relevant experience
3- It’s impossible for me to get a Blue Card, even standard work permit is a ‘maybe’

I have explained them none of them is true (Since I wanted to move to Berlin deliberately, I did all my pre-work long before their offer.) . But they did not CARE.

Today I’m working at Berlin, doing a very similar job in another company. I have my Blue Card valid until 2024.
And also, the university degree they think not recognised in Germany is a B.Sc. degree from Istanbul Technical University. ITU is one of the most prestigious universities and by far the best engineering school of Turkey. You need to score in the top 0.01% of university entrance exam just to get into this school.

I guess ‘Justice as a service’ is only for their paying customers :)
