Jobs for a foreigner in Poland without a uni degree

4 Oct 2018 / #1

Hi there!
I'm 18 and planning to move to Krakow soon. I have recently finished my secondary education in Germany and therfore have the Abitur (A-levels).
I would like to start work but speak very little to no Polish (I'm currently learning), so obviously it's harder to find a job. I speak English and German at native speaker level. I've had a look online at jobs for expats but all I can find are jobs for qualified people (i.e IT,Business...).

Do you have any ideas for jobs I could do?
Thanks!

For our Client located in Cracow, we are looking for Candidates for: Customer Service with German OR French (IT Support 1st line) Candidates without any experience are welcome! Fluency in German and English (B2) is required.

such jobs - L1 help desk/customer support - are plentiful everywhere and also in Kraków because a lot of companies in Germany are outsourcing clerical work to CEE and for this particular jobs, real fluency is an asset. Just be aware that nevertheless the pay is very low, after all there is a reason they are recruiting there and not in Germany. You will find them on Linkedin, just use the keyword "german" and location "Krakau und Umgebung" (Linkedin at my PC seems to default to German). This particular job is:

And you have to answer a certain amount of queries per hour.
IBM is a far better bet. Stay away from these scum phone support jobs - if nobody accepted them then the Cap Gemini outsourcing scum of this world wouldn't exist.

Should be a damn load of call center / outsourcing type of jobs in Krak where they will be happy to get a native speaker.

Yeah, because 18 years old kid will join the management straight away... I'm not kidding, you are NEVER making any sense.

How about a German car dealership or some other international (German - owned) company in Poland; not so many Poles speak perfect German which may be important for the business.
