Well yes, of course. It is a European standard.

That is what they use when they buy something in the U.S. to convert over to their system. See link below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_array_logic

Is it necessary to speak the national language in order to work there
Is it necessary to speak the national language in order to work there?
In other words, say if I want to work in Germany, do I need to speak German? If I want to work in Greece, do I need to speak Greek? etc etc. Thanks.

Maybe not, but it sure helps a lot!
2 :
in many cases not really, since english is pretty much understood worldwide. but learning the national language where you want to work would be preferable
3 :
It depends on the job. If you'll work with people who speak your language, that wouldn't be so much trouble. But anyways, you'll need to interact with the natives, so, I'd say: yes, it's necessary.
4 :
Yep sure is. The United States of America is the only place on earth where you don't need to speak a word of the country's language or assimilate in any other way. We are supposed to accommodate anything any one else does in this country. We wouldn't want to offend anyone, now would we?
5 :
i wouldnt hire you if you didnt speak german. i wouldnt suggest you coming here at all, without speaking the language, even though english is spoken almost everywhere. i mean seriously, you dont have to speak it perfectly (or not even good, i dont care), but i just think it´s very disrespectful to live and/or work in any country without being able to communicate unless you´ve got a real reason for it (such as falling in love with someone there or sth like that)

I want to live in greece as a historian, can I?
I know Americans can't work work in Greece with going through a long process, but I'm planning on living there. I want to become a Historian, so I wouldn't be working in Greece only, I'd work for anyone who needs my help. Can I do that with out going through the process or do I have to do that?

Americans can't live or work in Greece (or anywhere in the EC for that matter) without the almost impossible to obtain work permits and residence permits. It's for exactly the same reasons that EC citizens can't go and work in the USA. If you're unhappy about this I suggest you take it up with Mr Obama.

Try the British Arcaeological School of Athens, this is their website. http://www.bsa.ac.uk/ They also have a branch, face to the entrance of the Palace of Knossos, in Heraklion, Crete. I would like so much to work there! Absolutely inspiring. I' ve seen them while working in their open air labs, and wished to be one of them. And last but not least for your case: english speaking.

Unfortunately, it's almost impossible. Greece is not an "immigration country" (i.e. a place that encourages foreigners to come and live). Aside from EU citizens, immigration is possible but very difficult. You would have to first get a residency permit that allows you to work. A single short-term permit (6 months or a year) might be possible, but permanent residence (10 years, after which you can get citizenship) is unlikely to be given. So you'd have to do what most foreign historians do: live in your home country but spend a couple of months a year working in Greece. These kinds of arrangements are normal for people in academia. Ironically (and sadly), you'd have a better chance at a residency permit if you went to Greece illegally, like many illegal migrants have discovered. Apparently if you wait around long enough, the government gets shamed into opening the doors to you.

you could try craigslist.com but there's always a risk when answering a job ad on a classifieds website. your best bet is to locate hotels, bars, discos, etc w/their own personal websites that would list job openings and contact information.
