Hello Folks!
This september I will move to Katowice and start my management degree there. I also study psychology and before I was studying in Poznan.
I looked for job in some job searching websites but actually it seems like it is kinda impossible to find job just with english. Do you have any suggestions for me. I will be totally free 4 days in a week .

Do you have any qualifications or work experience?
Did you work in PoznaƄ? If so, what did you do?

My suggestion is to take a basic course in Polish (of which I'm sure there are quite a few), preferrably before arriving in Poland, but it not, then enrolling at some local language school.

This may not be the answer, but at least it'll get you started and obviously, the more Polish you know, the better your chances at being able to secure a modestly-paying job for yourself, rather than having to do only menial work:-)

I took some polish courses last year. I have A2 polish but i feel this is not enough to work .Because probably employers will prefer native ones for modest job offers.

Probably so, zosiasamosia! A pity that preferrence doesn't usually extend to English teachers too:-)

I was studying Psychology in Poznan but I had experience in call center and customer services in Turkey . I have native turkish advanced english A2 polish and I am also graduated from social works. I think I need a job that I will communcate with others. I have good communication and planning skills and wanna use them :) Now I will start studying managament too. I care about experience I want my job to teach me more about business life :)

How about another call centre job?
Do you have any internationally recognised certificates of English like FCE, CAE or CPE?
Google Capgemini.

There's Cambridge Certificate and something known as BEC (Business English Certificate). The latter was popular in Western Europe, in Italy for example, but that was a while ago, so things have doubtless changed:-)
