Will I be able to find a job in Greece?
When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Greece, they reponded...
"The main industries are Winneries and Marble extraction. I am an English Teacher employed by a Private language School - everyone is learning English!To do this I had to go through a full medical. However, if I wanted to teach privately or in a company I have to pass greek exams (I don't speak Greek yet so a little difficult)and go through a lengthy process of getting my degree validated by the Government, the whole country is a mass of red tape which can be extremely frustrating. The area is fairly run down and jobs are few and far between. Native Greeks with 2 or even 3 degrees are struggling to find work. Most people opt to take exams to enter the confusing public sector for work. I haven't tried to find work other than teaching, which is relatively easy to find, but poorly paid," commented one expat who made the move to Drama, Greece.
