rellocation from Kiev to Warsaw

Hello everybody, may be someone could help me:

1. Is it possible to find a good job only with fluent English (also Ukrainian, Russian)? At this moment I've only started to learn Polish but need to relocate in one month. I have a good experience in Project Management and Sales (4 years overall), so do I have any chances?

2. Is it a big problem for my future employer to give me job offer if I have only Shengen Visa with no permission to work?

3. Can I use my Ukrainian Driving license instead of getting Polish one?

4. Can I buy a car in Poland for myself and how to register it? (seems like for the first couple of months I will have only visa to Shengen Staten)

5. Medical insurance - is it expensive in Poland and how can I buy insurance for myself at least for 6 months?

Thanks for your answers :-)

Yes... but not so easy... you have to try hard... may find a very good job or nothing... Try some companies trading with FSU...

I don't know but If they will really need you then they will probably take care about the papers...

5. Medical insurance - is it expensive in Poland and how can I buy insurance for myself at least for 6 months?

If you are legally employed then the insurence is paid by the employer...

It is. Ukrainians can work legally in Poland for 6 months a year. Procedure requires your future employer to go to Urzad Pracy (Labour Office) to pick up and fill some papers, which are then send back or given to prospect employee. With the papers one gets visa along with work permit. After 6 months work permit expires and the next one can be obtained after 6 months break.

There are some other legal ways I'm sure to work.
