Im not too fond of living in my country at the moment.

does anyone have any information on jobs i could do in Poland that doesnt include teaching?

Anyone got any stories on moving to poland and securing work

any info on technnical side of things permit etc...

Much apprieciated

:-D

Hate to say it Glim but there is NOTHING! I been in this position here in Poland for five years, I speak fluent Polish, educated to degree level and because I know nothing about business, banking or IT am basically f*cked in Polska. Still here because of my wife but jeez it's awful having nothing to occupy ones time. I've even tried asking in pubs and restaurants as I'm willing to work for crap money just to have something to do but nobody wants a foreigner working in their establishment, in fact many people get annoyed that you're trying to take jobs away from Poles. Only real option is if you have any money you can start your own business here. Sorry about the 'moaning' mate!

its a shame..

my GF gets run down occasionally about people in the UK complaining about 'poles taking our jobs' in massive numbers, but its the same in Poland but without the same amount of numbers..

Shame, such a beautiful country, i'd love to live there...

What's your background? I know quite a few Journalists / Writers who work for English language publications in Poland.

Well, this is an added complication. I dont have anything on paper that would demonstrate an ability to work as a writer for a publication. I have bucket loads of enthusiasm and a willingness to learn and learn quickly.

Not enough to secure a job considering the current economic and cultural situation in Poland.

What about Norway??

If the pic your avatar is you forget it you will get no work no where !!!!
special not in Norway who will give a job for a guy that only know English has no qualification and looks like a fool !!!!

Your right.. there has to be another way.. Hmmm..

*scratches head and thinks*...

Why not start your own business in Poland?

If you spoke a little Polish, you know, with a funny accent and amusingly twisted vocabulary, you could try to make a career in TV. There are a lot of foreigners, Germans, Brits, French, who take part in popular talk shows, commercials, programmes about Europe. Do you know Kevin Aiston, a British firefighter, married to a Pole, who became a media star in Poland? he is even in Wikipedia, sorry, only Polish version.

Górnośląskie coal mines have a shortage of miners, and the pay is more than a doctor earns. :)

zion you are such a twat.. Its a wonder they let you into Poland with an attitude and brain like yours. God help your wife.

Where do you live Buddy? I am opening a pub resturant in Opole area, if you live near.. you can have a job come October 2008. :-)

Mr Z you are being very naughty! LOL

My best bet would be that he does not really care about getting a job in Norway.

M-G (is going to Mazatlan shortly)

Thanks Marcus, unfortunately I'm in Warsaw. I'm also a great cook/chef and would love such an opportunity. Real pity your in Opole

London Chick--

Do you know any names of English language publications? I'm a writer/editor and photographer and am planning on moving to Poland in August to get my CELTA. Might be nice to pick up some freelance work if possible....
