Relocating to Krakow, Poland from England. How easy to find a job?

I visit it most weekends, although Planet Tyskie can be very nice at this time of year.

No I'm not in the pay of the Polish government. Yes I do work for a Polish company. I wouldn't call myself a smug git, I'm a smug b*stard, just read tomorrow's column in the NWE for proof of that.


Not a big fan of Planet Zywiec. Nice to visit but I prefer Planet Wyborowa, it's exquisite.
As for that salary, average going rate for teaching English in Warsaw is 55zl per 45 minutes, which is a net of 46.4zl per 45 minutes. That works out as 62.19zl per hour. If we assume that there are only 4 weeks in a month (there are of course 4.3 weeks in a month but everybody needs at 4 weeks holiday a year), a teacher teaching 25 hours a week teaches 100 hours a month. So they earn 6,219zl a month. Isn’t maths fun!


Why do you keep repeating your mindless drivel?

Read the Act on Aliens, dated 13 June 2003.


If a residence permit gives the right to work here, why is it necessary to obtain the promise of a work permit before one can be granted a residence permit?

Can you actually read?

Eh, don't think I'll bother, isn't it just the writers and editorial team who actually read that for 'personal stimulation' purposes? I believe the other copies are just used for mopping up spilt drinks or as beer mats :)))

he he he that is truth

More like a tw*t if you ask me :)


You see I arrest my case, who on earth apart from a tw*t would refer to themselves as a smug b*stard - tut tut


It would appear that only you and your mum will be reading it by the comments from the forum :(

Isn't it a bit tricky to use an electronic newspaper to mop up spilt drinks?

Tell you what, you bring your laptop to Bradleys and we'll see how well it does mopping up different types of drinks.


Probably somebody who doesn't take themselves seriously. Why don't you try doing that, just for a change? You might like how it feels.


The paper has 7,000 subscribers. There is more mail about Club Corner than any other section of the paper. So I'd imagine that a few people do actually read it.

But anyway, do tell us about your career as a professional writer, I'm sure we're all dying to hear about it.

At the risk of getting thrown into the stocks and pelted with decaying vegetable matter, I would like to say that I really enjoy Harry's column.

shame on you! pan pie! but then again old senile people will read anything :)

Apart from the Daily Mail if you please. Where's my mug of Horlicks gone. I know it was here not long ago......

Thank you very much!

Sorry but no can do with the decaying vegetable matter. Will pulped surplus copies of the Warsaw Insider be acceptable?

Too heavy man LOL

Amazing! Hadn't even noticed it had disappeared as a real, live paper! Shows how much attention it got

The printed version is still going. But my material from the paper version is generally just repeats of what went in the electronic version and the electronic version is the one which is more aimed at expats in Poland.

How much attention does it get? It has more than 7,000 subscribers: that's more than 70 times more than the Warsaw Insider. NWE puts out as many copies every week as the Insider puts out every month.

Congratulations! All those sums and calculations you keep doing, you must be almost as intelligent as Doda :)

yep,still a willy wagging contest..........

right on topic discussion

:P

I did try putting in facts and quoting from the laws which tell us these facts but nobody seemed in the slightest bit interested and people just kept on posting drivel, so I thought I'd join in with the drivel posting too. Shall we go back to posting facts and sources instead?

no harry please !!!!

Ohh there was movement in my trusers when i read her name :)

Ok lets get back on topic again.

this was the original question ........ i'd be interested to hear people's views on this also :o) ...... especially in Krakow.

is not easy to find work 30000 poles looks for work out side

yes you can be and English teacher dont hope for much more then that ..

I'm not got to start insulting you but don't be so negative, there are lots of Brits who live in Warsaw and they don't teach English!!!

Polanglik it will be difficult but it all depends on your experience and qualifications. I can't speak about Krakow but i'm sure there are lots of international companies down there.

Good luck with the job hunt.

the same from me

Hi CaleyJags ......

Unfortunately our friend Zion is one of the most depressing and negative people I have met on this forum, and to be honest I don't take too much notice of his opinions :o))

I am in a lucky position in that when I sell up here in UK i will have a nice tidy bundle from which my family and I can make a good life for ourselves in Poland (Krakow most probably).

I run my own company here in UK and will probably continue that in Poland; i am also in the fortunate position of speaking Polish fluently and have good qualifications which I believe will be useful in Poland. I also have many contacts, family & friends in Poland so the transition should not be too stressful :o)

I'm in Warsaw next week, mainly for business, but also to catch up with some friends - what's the weather like in Warsaw right now ?

Caley and Zion ..... thanks for the good wishes with the job hunt :o))

???????? do have will sell ? will have also here or are you looking for a job ?

did not get it

At the mo it's 4.3* unless of course my very cheap Praktiker thermometer is telling porkies! Almost everyone has flu and/or colds, just like in the UK!

I don't get what you're trying to say Zion :o) ...... you must improve your English :o)

what part of my post did you not understand ?

Leave Zion alone, if you read back a couple of posts, he wished you luck in your job hunt!

It's ok today, alot better than last week which was very cold.

With your background and language skills you will have no problems with getting your business up and running in Krakow.

Good luck again.

Shelley, I am sure Zion is old enough to stick up for himself :o) ..... and if you look back on my post you will see the bit which says ...
