I really want to work in Greece next year but don't know where to start. Whats the best way?

Question

(I'm english if that helps lol)

Answer 1

Lol, we don't hate foreigners. The case of sqweaky was really extreme. If you are good looking you can find easy a job at a bar. For restaurants and hotels it is harder if you don't know the language.

Answer 2

It's going to be a little difficult. Ask me, I tried to work in Greece and find a job. I filled out an application at a store there, and six months later I had retuned to U.S. and I get a phone call from my grandmother saying they called me in for an interview. I wasn't even there. So I said forget it.

Job finding there is really hard, and especially if you are english or american, you need to have someone there you know that is your friend or a buddy to put you in for a job otherwise chances are slim.

I did another application at a grocery store too, ...don't even try. Why? Whan I got the interview w/ the manager there, (at the time I was in greece) BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE GREEK PEOPLE THERE HATE FOREGINERS --- EVEN IF YOU ARE GREEK, GREEK AMERICAN, AMERICAN IN GENERAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THE MANAGER WAS SUCH A RACIST THAT SHE INSULTED ME  SAYING "WHY DID YOU COME TO WORK HERE, GO BACK TO AMERICA!" i TOLD HER NO, B/C I WANTED TO STAY THERE IN GREECE. I FELT LIKE MY OWN COUNTRY IS SAYING--GO! THERE IS NO ROOM FOR YOU HERE.

I felt so asshamed that I am greek that day that I left b/c if I had stayed alittle longer w/ her I woulf have punched the lights out of her, but I did not want to create an episode in the store. All I wanted was just to work there and make money. I don't know what her probelm with greek americans was.

But anyway, to give you an idea of what it's like having to face this in you own country is disgracful. But for the most part I wish you good luck b/c I did not have much that day.

From now on, I just go there for vacation, and work in the U.S., plus you make more money. The Euro is like more than half the amount of the dollar, so you work three times to make the amount you want.

Answer 3

What kind of work you have in mind? Be more specific.

If waiting in a bar may be what you look for, then contact [e-mail] . They look for people to work for them .

Dear squeaky , Greek do not hate foreigners. Especially Greek-Americans. As a matter of fact almost all have someone in America, or elsewhere for that matter.

If your attitude was high and mighty then possibly the reception that you got may be explained.

Answer 4

BELIEVE IT OR NOT I AM GREEK AND I ADORE THE GREEK AMERICANS OR THE AMERICANS OR EVERY FOREIGNER THAT COMES IN GREECE!

i really love them and i like communicating with them!Ok i know that not all Greeks are the same...!The fact is that usually ppl of Greece don't like the american government (Bush,Rice and so on)because they don't back us up in international matters such as the FYROMIAN name and this is true...However the Greek Government this of New Democracy(name of political party) supports the American Government...

Anyway...I like all tourists and if i had a tourist shop or sth like that i would absolutely hire foreign staff!!!!!!!

Kisses !

Answer 5

Become a tourist guide for a travel agency that way you get a lot of free stuff and also enjoy the many different places and islands for free.

A good way to find such work is to contact travel agencies or companies that  put together traveling packages for tourists.

Answer 6

"BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE GREEK PEOPLE THERE HATE FOREIGNERS --- EVEN IF YOU ARE GREEK, GREEK AMERICAN, AMERICAN IN GENERAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT..."

This is true, at least from what I experienced.  I went to Greece for one month.  I don't know why, but they really don't like Americans (people from the United States) even if you're a Greek American.

Answer 7

If u re into club 18-30 club holiday ...things hehe (u said u re english didn't ya?) then go ask for a job as a PR in Malia Laganas Kavos Faliraki or Kardamena..if u re good lookin u ve got many chances to get a job...If u re not into this stuff then i guess u have to choose a very touristy place that needs foreign-language-speaking personnel...

p.s. what this woman below said about greeks that hate foreigners i have to answer her that i m greek and i ONLY LIKE foreigners and i dislike the locals ;-) (many of my friends are like that too) generalising things is fascism
