Work in Greece?

Question

My daughter is thinking to look for her first job out of college with a big international company in Greece. She is graduating from a business school in June and is fluent in English, Greek and conversational in French.
Anyone has any ideas how to go about it? She prefers Thessaloniki but Athens is fine too
I appreciate all the responses

Answer 1

Her advantage is of course the fluency in Greek. Yes, she should get a list of international companies in her field of interest and studies and send them CVs (in 100 CVs she will maybe get 3 answers) - a good source are the embassies or the greek-something chambers of commerce (i.e Greek-american http://www.amcham.gr/ )
and she should also check sites like
http://europa.eu.int/eures/
http://www.skywalker.gr/
http://karieres.dolnet.gr/wma/karieres.main
http://www.stelechi.gr/
http://europa.eu.int/eures/

She should also know that salaries for beginners are peanuts.

Answer 2

I am living in Thessaloniki and yes we have many big companies here

Finding a job though may take some time, she must be patient

in order to enter big companies, a good method is to contact companies that are looking for personnel in order to full job vacancies
its free, you just contact them, send your CV, check out the job vacancies on line and when you find something you like you contact them or if they find something first, they contact you

I can provide you some addresses :

Answer 3

Most people who wish to spend their Summer taking part on a working holiday in the sun some place fun usually sign up through an agency specializing in such. There are plenty of these around that can hook you up with work & accommodation in party resorts and the obvious best reason for gong with them is that you will meet loads of people doing the same thing.

Answer 4

I didn't see any big international companies when I was there, mostly tourist trade.
