🇵🇱 Are you thinking of moving to live and work in Poland?
🥺 Can you still survive if you don't speak Polish?
💰How much will you realistically earn?
🔍Where are the best places to look for work in Poland?
😕What if you don't have any experience or relevant skills?

So where are the opportunities for me (average English speaking guy)

🔍English teacher
🔍Set up your own business in Poland
🔍Carry on working remotely for a UK company
🔍Marketing / startup /
🔍Polish company looking to export abroad (needs English/local contacts)
🔍International companies in Poland (but with a warning, local language is English)

How to do it?

🔍Leverage the experience you already have. You may be looking for a life change. Don't - use the thing which gives you value.
🔍Ask your partner to help you, but even better yet, find a supporter in the industry you want to work in
🔍If you are going to do a career pivot (English teacher, moving from service industry to marketing, see other opportunities) prepare in advance
🔍Don't assume you'll learn Polish in any normal timeframe, learn enough to be able to survive before you go
🔍Identify the target companies you want to work for - where are they based? Move there
🔍Contact the relevant decision makers in those companies on LinkedIn or elsewhere, invite to tea
🔍Reach out to expat/immigrant groups on Facebook and ask for help, they are amazing
🔍Have enough savings to give you a proper amount of time to look once you've got boots on the ground
🔍Don't apply via only job recruitment websites as they suck!
🔍Do go for internships if you can get your foot inside a door, all the better

What mindset do you need to have?

🥺Assume you will be rejected
🥺Understand that nothing you've ever done so far will be wasted, no such thing as bad experience
🥺Assume it will be hard
🥺Assume you will earn less than you want or expect
🥺Assume you will feel at times worthless
🥺Assume you will find Poles maddening, irritating, weird, deceptive,
🥺Understand your Englishness is nothing special in modern Poland

This follows my last live on How to Learn Polish [ Ссылка ] which was described by Stuart as 'Quite possibly the most useful video I've ever watched on YouTube!'
