Moving to Jelenia Gora region - need advice about finding a job.

Hi i am 100% polish and i have been living in US for 16 years, i have married an Italian man and had a son, the life here in the US im really not feeling that much, my son wont have the childhood that i had and it breaks my heart to see that. Recently i have been wanting to pay all the bills and move back to Poland for good. My question is how hard would be for me to find a job so i can support my family for some time and get us on our feet. I dont want to go there and not have a job. and disappoint my hubby with the decision i made. I would be moving around Jelenia Gora.

Why dont you think about Italy?

Anyways... you are ofcourse welcome in Poland... and it is your country :D!

If you have graduation degree...job will be easier. Maybe not as good paid as in USA...

You can think of living in Warsaw... its much better there.... or Krakow... I think you should first visit for short period before finally moving.

Best of luck,

Well we can go to Italy but my husbands family isnt the best, and they never liked me because i was Polish, so i dont know if its that good of an idea to move somewhere where im not gonna be accepted. I know that my family in poland and the people in poland will NOT treat my husband any diffrent because of his race. I want to start in Jelenia Gora, because i have a place to live and maby evantually move to the bigger city. I just have an Associates. and i have been with a law firm for 5 years running the office and making sure all the cases get done. My hubby is a mechanic for the state of connecticut. Im just not happy here at all, i never got used to the people and the way people live. I just want to get as much information as i can about this move, last night i told my hubby that we are young and that we should take this oppurtunity and if he loved me as much as he says he does, he will consider it. I dont know im really confused. its a big step

It sure is... that why I saidm first take a small trip to Poland. See the conditions, if it suits you, then stay ofcourse.

I know our economy is improving, but not so much like USA. Actually, prices are increasing more than the capacity of people I feel.

You have good experience, you husband can find a job too... but my guess will be that you will have to work harder here, and the pay might not be as good. But my guess, or anyones guess...cannot be the basis of such a big step can it? The future of your family, children... so much depends on this :).

Take it easy... think about it. And ofcourse... tell me what happened... it will be nice to know!

we decided to go next year for 3 weeks, i am positive about moving but i want him to see poland. I dont want him to come to my country and hate me for it. you see with US, yes the pay is better but you also work like a dog and have no time for anything (its a rat race) i found that in poland even with some people not having the best jobs, they somehow enjoy life. My parents will be moving there within 5 years and building their home, so they said they will build it big enough for us to live with them. So that will make it a little easier. And also i think children grow up diffrently over there, i dont like the school system here and kids really dont get the BIG point. Its not about what material things you have in life, its about family and friends and enjoying every day when you wake up.

Hi. The times of very high unemployment are gone, so generally there's rather no problem to find "some" job but you must be aware that "some job" here is being paid ~$700 a month with prices the same and in many cases even higher than in America and If you want to make a career and get a "good" job then I don't think that the pressure is smaller than in the USA. Anyway that's not nesseserly a bad idea but you should have It all well planned and just jump into the airplane.


.................

I agree Greg. Its going to be hard to get use to the pay, which $700 a month is really nothing, I wanted to maby see if i can get a teacing certificate and teach english, in school or something. I dont know im getting excited and scared at the same time, but we are US citizens, so if we cant adjust to living in Poland we can go back to the US, or go somewhere else in Europe. I have some friends in Ireland, Greece and UK, i heard that UK isnt that bad. I dont know, the only thing that is helping us out is the fact that we will have a home with my parents and that we are in process of purchasing a home here so when its time to leave we can sell and bring the proceeds from that sale with us. Starting next month i told my hubby that there will be NO MORE spending money on dumb things, that right now its all about saving so we can bring cash with us, in case the job search goes slow.

there is not much in Jelenia Gora but you should try Wroclaw it's close to JG and jobs are paid better and it's easier to find good one.

good luck.

Yeh i know, but i need to start somewhere i cant just pack up and leave and not have a place to stay, etc. I really want to open up a nice bar/restaurant in Jelenia Gora or Szklarska Poreba. Thats really the plan, that me and my dad have.

That's not a bad idea, especially for your husband as without Polish he will have problems to find anything else.

yeh i know.
