Merged: Jobs in Gdansk for English speakers Hi, i am considering relocating from the UK to the TriCity area. Unfortunately I don't speak Polish. I'm finding it quite difficult to find any positions that I can apply for. Can anybody help?

paulkaczmar: i am considering relocating from the UK to the TriCity area. It is going to difficult to find a job, at arms length. Consider moving to PL for a period of two months, in order to establish contacts and test the water.

This is weird. Poles who go to the UK or US are expected to speak English if seeking a job other than laborer. Why is it so difficult to understand that in Poland they want you to speak Polish? You're not gonna have it easier just because English is a world language, you're in a different country.

[quote=PennBoy Why is it so difficult to understand that in Poland they want you to speak Polish?[/quote] Why is it so difficult to understand that Polish is not exactly a world language? Whether you like it or not, there are still many firms in Poland hiring foreigners because of it.

PennBoy It's fully understandable that Polish companies in Poland expect people to speak Polish. Yet again you are showing how little you know about Poland: none of the Polish companies which have employed me ever expected me to speak Polish. Perhaps it might be best if you Americans stuck to talking about your own country and didn't try to lecture us about Poland.

No, Boy, I am right and that fact is proven by the experiences of people who do actually live in Poland and do have experience of getting jobs here without speaking much Polish. Of course, given that you do not live here and have never got any kind of a job here, it's not really surprising that you are completely wrong about getting jobs in Poland and what Polish companies expect.
