No. The work permit depends on the type of residence permit.

With an indefinite residence permit, e.g. a permanent settlement permit (Niederlassungserlaubnis), you are allowed to do any sort of work.

With a limited residence permit, you are only allowed to work if your residence permit includes the note “Employment permitted” or “Occupation permitted” (Erwerbstätigkeit/Beschäftigung gestattet). This permission may be limited to a certain type of work. If the residence permit includes the note “Employment only with approval by the immigration authority” (Beschäftigung nur mit Zustimmung der Ausländerbehörde), it is necessary to apply to the immigration authority for permission to work. For this, a guaranteed job is required.

If you have any difficulties, it is helpful to speak to a counselling agency. You can also get advice via chat or at an MBE (Migrationsberatung [Immigration counselling]) office.
