Hi! I graduated last October and am planning to head over to eastern Europe soon and am having trouble finding information on jobs in Poland. Not specific jobs, but going as a Canadian and whether or not it is possible to get the right working papers once a job has been secured. Does anyone know about this? Any ideas on accomodation etc? Thanks, Louise

Hi, welcome to the board!

Here is the website for the Polish Embassy in Canada: http://www.polishembassy.ca/ and here is information about foreigners working in Poland: http://www.infoobywatel.gov.pl/english/index.html

After some more searching, I found this site: http://www.jobmonkey.com/teaching/europe/html/expats_in_poland.html

"Of the expatriates who have settled in Poland, many seem to integrate better into the local communities and get involved in local activities than they do in places like Prague and Budapest, where it's relatively easy to avoid the locals by hanging out in places where only expats congregate. So if you want to find your own little niche among an ordinarily friendly and open people, Poland might be just the place for you. It will definitely challenge you in ways that the other countries won't simply because it seems more of a frontier than the Czech Republic or Hungary."

Sounds like a great place! Good Luck

Wondering if anyone has had postings in Poland...can they place their experiences up on board and perhaps some contact information?
