Where else you can go

Routes many people do not think of straight away. Every statement names source and date; what is missing reads “not documented yet”.

    You head a department of the city or municipal administration and represent it before the council and the public. You are responsible for staff and budget of a whole field.

    In North Rhine-Westphalia, Beigeordnete are elected municipal civil servants whom the council elects for eight years; the posts are advertised, which may be waived on re-election (§ 71 paras. 1 and 2 GO NRW). Beigeordnete must meet the professional requirements and show sufficient experience; in independent cities and large county-belonging towns at least one Beigeordneter needs the qualification for judicial office or the career qualification for career group 2, second entry grade, of the general administrative service (§ 71 para. 3 GO NRW). Other states regulate this in their own municipal codes.

    Your next step: Read your state's municipal code and watch job advertisements in cities in your region.
