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," said another expat in Drama, Greece.
"Foreigners often have jobs in the tourism industry in Greece, such as working as tour guides, hotel staff, restaurant staff, and shopkeepers. They may also work in the agricultural sector, such as picking olives or grapes. Other jobs that foreigners may have in Greece include teaching English, working in IT, or providing other professional services," wrote a member who made the move to Greece.
