I hope these help. You might not find what you are looking for straight away but keep checking because new jobs are always available!

Answer 3

Depends very much on whether you have an EU passport.  If offering a job to someone from outside the EU an employer must prove that he/she cannot find someone from the EU to fill that position.  Think that also applies to family's who want to employ a cook.

It's just about impossible for non-EU people to get good jobs in Europe, unless you're lucky enough to work for a company who will send you there.
