An American finding work in Greece


An American finding work in Greece?
Any tips on how to find a job? Specific websites or newspapers to check? I don't speak Greek, but I hope to learn it. I'll take any kind of shit job, really, but my specific qualifications are in English, psychology, and music. Thanks!

I got my husband the greek american chamber of commerce book with all the greek-american, american companies and it helped him a lot. It has their address, website, email and a brief description of what they do. You can get it from the greek-american chamber of commerce office right next to Errikos Dinan Hospital in Athens. Good luck:)

Technically as an American we are unable to acquire jobs (legally speaking) unless a Greek company applies for our visa... So if you have some professional job skills that might be able to get you there just try applying for businesses that are in your field via most internet job websites... On the other hand, if don't to much care about the legal side of things, I recommend just travelling there for a few weeks (mostly on the islands) and asking bars, hostels, hotels, restaurants and night clubs if they have any live in work. Finding jobs "under the table" is incredibly easy. Trust me I've done it ;-)

You might try applying to be an English teacher. Greek kids take a lot, lot, lot of extra lessons and there are schools on every corner for foreign languages. Here's one site: http://www.anglo-hellenic.com/vacancies/vacanciesindex.htm
