As an Australian you can only work in Greece if you have a Greek passport or passport from another EU country. Doesn't matter whether your qualifications are recognised or not, because you just can't work. If however, you're moving to Greece because your partner is Greek and living there, or moving back there, then you should contact the Greek Embassy to see what your options are.

You should take into consideration this: Official US Embassy report : The U.S. Government remains deeply concerned about the heightened threat of terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests abroad. Like other countries that are members of the Schengen Agreement for free cross-border movement, Greece’s open borders with its European neighbors allow the possibility of terrorist groups entering/exiting the country with anonymity. As the first entry point into Schengen from points south and east, Greece’s long coastline and many islands also heighten the possibility that foreign-based terrorists might try to exploit Greece’s borders. Domestic terrorist organizations such as Revolutionary Struggle and “Sect of Revolutionaries†have become increasingly active against both domestic and foreign targets in Greece. Recent attacks and attempted attacks have included the use of Molotov cocktails (gasoline bombs), small arms and rifle fire, and improvised explosive devices, the largest being a 50-kilo car bomb which failed to detonate before the police arrived. The Greek police forces, other Greek governmental agencies, private American and Greek businesses, and the United States Embassy have been attacked in the last three years. Recent actions indicate that the perpetrators are indiscriminate. The risk of “being in the wrong place at the wrong time†in the event of a terrorist action is a concern for residents and visitors. U.S. tourists or residents in Greece should remain vigilant, exercise caution, and monitor local developments. Some current terrorist organizations are aligned with the ideology of the older Marxist terrorist group November 17 (N17) which targeted Greek businessmen and officials, as well as officials from NATO countries in Greece, from the mid-1970s until the early part of this decade. N17 terrorists murdered 23 people, including five U.S. Government employees. Strikes and demonstrations are a regular occurrence. Greece is a stable democracy and these activities for the most part are orderly and lawful. However, a wave of incidents started when a teenager was shot and killed in an encounter with the police in December 2008. Incidents occurred throughout Greece, but the primary sources of violence were in Athens and Thessaloniki, Protestors there engaged in violent confrontations with the police and carried out destructive vandalism and rioting in localized areas, some of which are areas frequented by tourists, injuring numerous police officers. Riot control procedures often include the use of tear gas. Visitors should keep abreast of news about demonstrations from local news sources and hotel security. When there are demonstrations, visitors should be aware of and avoid places where demonstrators frequently congregate, such as the Polytechnic University area, Exarchia, Omonia, and Syntagma Squares in Athens, and Aristotle Square in Thessaloniki. The Omonia and Exharchia areas of Athens are at particular risk for crime and politically-motivated violence; U.S. Embassy personnel and their families have been urged strongly to avoid these areas between 9 pm and dawn.

We are at the beginning of our crisis ! Everyday riots, protests, strikes and anarchy.

Sure you can, if you have a residence and work permit ("green card"). But don't expect to earn much, you will have to find a job in a salon - which is hard in the first place, these days - and then you will earn 700 euros per month if you are lucky. You could try to find clients that you can go to their homes and do hairdressing for them, but you don't know many people so where will you find the clients? Unless you have th emoney to open a salon, in which case you will have to make an investment and hope for clients, however these days with the financial crisis women cut their visits to teh hair salon.

That's no problem. The Greek fonts (alphabet) comes with Windows. Ask in the shop that they show you how to install it.
2 :
The fonts can be changed on the Operating System by choosing another country. I would look for a laptop that enables an external keyboard to be connected. So he may use a greek keyboard at home. Also you will need a plug adapter to fit to the continental two-pole round prong outlets (type C of attached source). Source: http://users.telenet.be/worldstandards/electricity.htm#plugs_c
3 :
You probably have to order the laptop with a Greek language interface on Windows (it costs extra) if thats what you mean. Otherwise he can simply activate another language for typing in Greek in Windows. For Windows XP : Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > Details > Text services and input Languages > Add > Greek > OK Laptop power supplies are usually capable of operating everywhere but you will need to get an extra adapter to match the plugs used in Greece.

What kind of work you have in mind? Be more specific. If waiting in a bar may be what you look for, then contact gouviatreetops@yahoo.com . They look for people to work for them . Dear squeaky , Greek do not hate foreigners. Especially Greek-Americans. As a matter of fact almost all have someone in America, or elsewhere for that matter. If your attitude was high and mighty then possibly the reception that you got may be explained.

It's going to be a little difficult. Ask me, I tried to work in Greece and find a job. I filled out an application at a store there, and six months later I had retuned to U.S. and I get a phone call from my grandmother saying they called me in for an interview. I wasn't even there. So I said forget it. Job finding there is really hard, and especially if you are english or american, you need to have someone there you know that is your friend or a buddy to put you in for a job otherwise chances are slim. I did another application at a grocery store too, ...don't even try. Why? Whan I got the interview w/ the manager there, (at the time I was in greece) BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE GREEK PEOPLE THERE HATE FOREGINERS --- EVEN IF YOU ARE GREEK, GREEK AMERICAN, AMERICAN IN GENERAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THE MANAGER WAS SUCH A RACIST THAT SHE INSULTED ME SAYING "WHY DID YOU COME TO WORK HERE, GO BACK TO AMERICA!" i TOLD HER NO, B/C I WANTED TO STAY THERE IN GREECE. I FELT LIKE MY OWN COUNTRY IS SAYING--GO! THERE IS NO ROOM FOR YOU HERE. I felt so asshamed that I am greek that day that I left b/c if I had stayed alittle longer w/ her I woulf have punched the lights out of her, but I did not want to create an episode in the store. All I wanted was just to work there and make money. I don't know what her probelm with greek americans was. But anyway, to give you an idea of what it's like having to face this in you own country is disgracful. But for the most part I wish you good luck b/c I did not have much that day. From now on, I just go there for vacation, and work in the U.S., plus you make more money. The Euro is like more than half the amount of the dollar, so you work three times to make the amount you want.

Become a tourist guide for a travel agency that way you get a lot of free stuff and also enjoy the many different places and islands for free. A good way to find such work is to contact travel agencies or companies that put together traveling packages for tourists.
4 :
"BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE GREEK PEOPLE THERE HATE FOREIGNERS --- EVEN IF YOU ARE GREEK, GREEK AMERICAN, AMERICAN IN GENERAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT..." This is true, at least from what I experienced. I went to Greece for one month. I don't know why, but they really don't like Americans (people from the United States) even if you're a Greek American.
5 :
Lol, we don't hate foreigners. The case of sqweaky was really extreme. If you are good looking you can find easy a job at a bar. For restaurants and hotels it is harder if you don't know the language.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT I AM GREEK AND I ADORE THE GREEK AMERICANS OR THE AMERICANS OR EVERY FOREIGNER THAT COMES IN GREECE! i really love them and i like communicating with them!Ok i know that not all Greeks are the same...!The fact is that usually ppl of Greece don't like the american government (Bush,Rice and so on)because they don't back us up in international matters such as the FYROMIAN name and this is true...However the Greek Government this of New Democracy(name of political party) supports the American Government... Anyway...I like all tourists and if i had a tourist shop or sth like that i would absolutely hire foreign staff!!!!!!! Kisses !

Yes it will work on two frequencies, 900 and 1800mhz. You will need a new SIM unless you want to pay for international roaming. Just grab a cheap pre-paid SIM from a local operator in London.
