The problem is not the language,since in touristic areas, many non-Speaking Greeks are working. The problem is that : -Is a little late for that season,usually they hire in the start of a season (around april) -With the job crisis, its even harder to find that time of summer. If you are talking about 2010, then its easy, yeah
2 :
Yes but you will be more luckily in touristic places.They need good English speakers there.
3 :
The language won't be a problem in touristic places, like Santorini, Myconos, Naxos, Paros, Kos, Rhodos. But I can't guarantee that you will find a job, of course! I know many foreigners work in bars and restaurants for the summer in touristic islands, but I don't know how they get the jobs or how many can find such jobs!

A friend of mine was able to get work in spain no problem !!! She only had basic spanish that she picked up from watching dora the explorer !! She went there for three months during the summer !! It was a very last minute thing but she got work in a restaurant during the day and barwork at night !! She came back to Ireland with better spanish than english and a great tan !!
5 :
It is indeed a bit late, but not too late. Do something now! Yes, it is possible to find a job, say in a taverna. By the way, Greek people are usually fond of Irish folks! Good luck.
6 :
there are many beach bars/cafes where they have waiters that don't speak any greek. but you might be a little late for the season..

Going to Greece from USA - what kind of power adapter/converter do I need to get
Going to Greece from USA - what kind of power adapter/converter do I need to get?
My friend has one that she uses when she goes to Poland - can I just borrow hers? Will it work in Greece?

Most European countries use the same type of power systems, but I would go to a place like radio shack to buy one and ask their opinion. I bought one on a trip to Brazil and it ended up burning out after a while
2 :
Why don't you just ask at the hotel front desk to borrow their hair drier, or iron, or whatever. You don't need an adaptor, because you don't need to carry any appliance that the hotel doesn't already have (they usually have their own computers & Internet too, so no need for a laptop).
3 :
No, you need a different one. here is a tip: Go to Walmart and buy a universal power adapter they only cost 18.99 + tax. (electronics section, by the extension cables, remotes etc.G the kit comes with all the adapters for all the countries in the world. its'a good deal If you go to a travel store they cost double that amount. Been there, Done that!
4 :
one which will be smelling of gyros... :-P well seriously now i think all european countries use the same except the UK so the polish-like one will be ok i guess
5 :
The power converter/transformer which your friend bought for Poland may also be used in Greece. Both countries operate under the same voltage system (220-240V/50Hz). You just have to make sure, that the maximum watt the converter is constructed for is not exceeded, means you can not operate a 2000 watt flat-iron with a 500 watt power converter. It may be that you will need a plug adapter to fit the converter into the wall outlet. In Poland, they use the type C and E plugs/outlets from the attached link. In Greece however they use type C, D, E, and F plugs/outlets. So just wait till you arrive there, and see what kind of wall outlets they've got. If the power converter has a type C plug, you are good to go since it will fit in the others as well. If not you can still get an adapter, or just buy a "Greek" plug and install it temporarily on your friend's power converter.
