Life / Indian moved to Poland [532]
HI Everyone,
This is my first time in this forum, i didnt imagined that there might be Indians to open their own forum topic ;). anyways I am an Indian living in Poland, Elbląg since 2001. I am working with my Polish wife and we are running our own business here in Poland at the moment 3 internet stores and earning a better living.
Regarding few folks who dont speak Polish well... when i came to Poland thinking that it will be very easy for me to find a job in here as an IT guy, but everything turned upside down when no reply came to my job applications :( for 2 years i searched for a job with no luck at all. I even tried to find out a job as a part time english teacher but again nothing. Then i joined my wife in her small shop learned to speak polish on my own with the help of my wife. Then we started to sell on Allegro and it clicked and after some time i planned with my wife to open our first internet store, at the moment we are running 3 webstores and still that small local shop of ours is there. i am taking care of the customer support in my company and also maintaing good contacts with the producers, thanks to my first job in vcustomer.com in New Delhi.
We are now slowly planning to expand to other countries but it needs time and also yes money. Time i dont have at all as i work till late even if we have 3 emps. now money is there but not that much to expand to other EU countries.. anyways i would like to add that i have a permanent stay card, and i am the only Indian living in Elbląg :D.
if any questions you would like me to answer i will be glad to help. :)
