Work / Job opportunities in Poland for a foreigner? (other than a teacher) [175]

Hello everyone!
I'm also looking for a way to live in Poland, for about a year, starting around next april or may. I'm canadian, and my girlfriend lives in Lodz right now.. It explains the fact that I need to find a solution as soon as possible :o)! I would need to find a job in that area, any job, I'm a university student, but i dont have any diploma yet.. I can speak french, english, spanish, and some polish (I'm looking for a teacher here in Montreal by the way.. ;o)).. I don't care much about the salary, as long as I get some pay that allows me to buy some food and stuff.. The thing is, I read that i have to be hired before i go, to have this work permit.. I don't know if some of you know another way to deal with all this?

Dzieki :D!
Thanks
