Work / Purchasing or Buying Jobs in Poland, advice needed from others in food industry [2]

I was a trade buyer in the Wholesale grocery/FMCG sector in Ireland. I arrived here last Feb and no sign of a job. Pretty much given up. I'm confident I could get a job if I had Polish but the language is crucial. What you have will get you nowhere here and they won't hire you assuming your Polish will get better. There are quiet a few food companies here so no doubt your skills could be used, but I'd work on the language harder before coming. There is a huge pool of 20/30 somethings here with fluent English and that's what you're up against.

Study / Which university in Poland?? (University of Lodz & Wyższa Szkoła Biznesu) [7]

Learned English at Lodz Uni for a few months. Rep is good I believe but not as good as Krakow Uni. Not been to Wroclaw yet but Lodz has a big student population and city is more than twice the size. It has a pretty good social scene. It is much cheaper than Warsaw or Krakow for accommodation. Socialising also cheaper and food is slightly cheaper too. A lot of investment going on here to try and catch up the other big 2 cities.
