Forget about it.

I'm a foreigner (American) whose been living in Wrocław for 9 years, and there is simply no work for foreigners here except Language teacher. Hotels are obligated to hire Poles first, and then EU citizens. There are simply no jobs available for people from other countries, especially with the red tape that the employer has to deal with in hiring a foreigner, and that you will have to go through to get permission to stay. Wages are also very low for hospitality workers. Far too low to make Poland an attractive location for foreigners seeking work.

If any website tells you different, it's a scam.

Sorry to burst your bubble. but you plan of coming to Poland to work is completely unrealistic. Give it up, and use your time and energy looking for work elsewhere. You just wasting your time looking in Poland.

There's plenty of work in Wroclaw for non-Poles. But the work goes to those who know - not those that walk in off the street.

Hotels are obliged to hire EU citizens first - only when they can't find someone in the entire EU, can they hire a non-EU citizen.

My school do help us get an interview for an internship in Poland, some of my friends have already worked in Sofitel Grand Sopot. But I would like to work in Wroclaw instead, so I was just wondering if there were any websites that would help me. But thank you anyways for your advice Dominicus and Delphiandomine.

Dominicus: especially with the red tape that the employer has to deal with in hiring a foreigner, That is the case if you non-EU. If you a EU citizen, there is no difference for the employer to hire you or a Pole.
