In Poland, students are permitted to work part-time while pursuing their studies. As a fresh student, one of the best ways to locate part-time work in the country is to put yourself out there and ask questions.
Many students' first port of call is their institution, so they can look for work in their faculty or department, volunteer in one of the many student organizations, or work on campus. These occupations are usually paid or come with some type of financial assistance for the students' education.
Lecturer's assistants, laboratory assistants, faculty administration, and the foreign division of student services are all options for post-graduate students.
Bachelor students can readily find work on campus as library assistants, student services attendants, servers, and waiters in university-owned restaurants, or athletes on any of their university's sports teams.
One widespread misunderstanding, though an important component in finding a job in Poland as a student, is that one must be able to communicate in Polish. In some circumstances, this is true, however, there are numerous jobs that do not require Polish.
In reality, student jobs in Poland pay only enough to cover living expenses and not enough to cover tuition or other important academic costs.
Jobs in Poland for foreign students include;
Tutoring Jobs:
Foreign students can tutor at private primary or secondary schools and private students in a foreign language that is native to them or in which they are specialists, for example, native speakers of English, French, German, or Arabic.
Not only that but international students are not permitted to instruct in Polish public schools due to various regulations and restrictions imposed on them by the Polish government.
Jobs in Restaurants:
Jobs as waiters and servers are accessible for international students in hotels and many other human-dependent service fields, and they do not require any substantial talent. Most of these vocations do not demand a high level of Polish expertise; those with only a basic understanding of the language are also quite employable.
In addition, with the introduction of numerous international restaurants and shops in Poland, students from those countries can easily find work there.
Jobs in call centers:
Many organizations use native speakers of foreign languages such as English, French, German, or Spanish as customer service representatives or in customer call centers. Poland is one of the key outsourcing hubs, and these positions are exclusively open to native speakers of foreign languages.
Work and Travel:
Foreign students can apply for a program called 'Work and Travel' throughout the summer. As part of a cultural exchange program, this program allows international students to travel to the United States and work for three to four months.
This program is incredibly lucrative and builds international contacts because students travel to several major cities in the United States and work in various job establishments.
Job Tips: Learn Polish and be proactive; hunt for jobs on the internet, and be highly involved in your local university community in Poland.
