The chances of getting a job without speaking Polish are pretty much non-existent - uless you teach English, I see from your profile that you are from India so I would pretty much cancel teaching English out as I would imagine Polish people would rather be tought by a native speaker.

As for Wraclaw there are lots of foreign students, there are plenty of threads on this site that will tell you what life is like.

As above.

You will struggle to get a job here with an Indian accent - even though many Indians are 'native' English speakers, the accent will likely pose huge problems for you. It's not an issue of racism, but simply the reality - the accent isn't a great one for teaching with.

Your only real hope would be to get a job in a large company - but these jobs are very, very rare. You certainly couldn't hope to come here and get such a job - you would have to land it from India. And with the hassle with work permits/etc for non-EU, it seems rather unlikely that you would be able to secure the kind of job where they would happily sort out permits for you.

I dare say you might be able to find a job washing dishes/other menial slave labour. But these kind of jobs simply won't pay you enough to survive - minimum wage would be likely, and 750 a month simply wouldn't be enough to live on.

Jesus, what is with this asian invasion of Poland? xD

I think Shelley is right though, unfortunately. The Indian accent will not allow you to teach English properly.

I think Krakow is one of the nicest towns in Europe though. Perhaps you should live there :)
