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.
