How to find a half decent job in Poland?

Hello everyone,

Just wandering if anyone knows how to find a half decent job in Poland?

My girlfriend recently moved back to Poland, so the best way for me to keep things going with her, is to move out there.

I have looked on jobpilot.pl and some other webpages, but have only seen a few english positions, and these seem to be in and around the vicinity of Warsaw, with international companies. I would of course consider working for a Polish company, my Polish is not brilliant, but in a Polish environment, would soon pick more up.

I am an office manager with all the relevent IT skills etc. before that i was a mechanical engineer.

If anyone knows, of any companies, links etc, I would be extremely grateful.

Cheers

Through relatives/friends/social networks?

It also depends on what you mean by "half-decend" (by what standards - American/Western European or Polish ones).

Well I'd advise starting the teaching route, dull as it may sound.
Firstly if you find a decent school, this will help process you into the system for ZUS (N.I) and also other clerical obligations. You will be able to mix with an ex-pat community who will be more aware of the various oppurtunities around you. The chance to spend time studying Polish which is a must will be available especially if you yourself are teaching. The wages tend not to be too bad relative to the median Polish pay and it will allow you to work on a contractual basis which has obvious benefits for you if you are seeking a permanent contract elsewhere. With you IT skill and the mechanical engineer buisness you have an added string to your bow which would be the adavntage of teaching technical English, which is no doubt paid even better.

The downside to all this teaching malarky is you need the a TEFL or to be more precise a CELTA. This takes about 4 weeks of intensive study, but once you have this certificate the world of work in Poland will become alot more accessible.

Poland is very much a place where who you know is a lot more important than what you know.

Hey Man....I am in the same boat as you. My SO moved back to Warsaw from Indiana and we want to be together but I have no clue how to find a job. My name is Matt and maybe we can work together on this. Give me a call or email...mtellett24@hotmail.com.......812-272-2523.
