I came here because of a job, so it wasn’t much of a challenge for me, hehe. Though my girlfriend joined along with no idea of what she’d be doing. By talking to people, we found out of this archaeology project happening over the summer. She went there and asked if she could volunteer (which she did), making sure everyone there knew she’d take a job whenever an excavation would start. And, well, right as September started, she got a contract. Neither of us speak Slovene (yet)!
Well done! I think your girlfriend is one of those people we talked about - she has willpower and doesn't give up! And yes, volunteering is definitely another great way to show people who you are and what you can do.
Nice to hear from you both that you are well accommodated in our country. I hope you will have lots of more good time in here. It is true that at some point it is hard to find I job here if you don't know no one but I think is not true that you cannot open an account of find a job just because you don't speak Slovenian. Here where I come from (Koper) are a lot of foreigners who work here and don't speak Slovenian. We are small and our language is not easy so young peoples are accommodated with it. Well if our app Talking Tom wasn't sold out we will still need a lot of jobs. Anyways like all the countries are welcome innovative and passionate peoples who want to open a business or work here. Good luck and keep up the good work.
Hi i was planning to move Slovenia im fron india and an IT engineer with 10 years of Desktop support experience can you please advice me if its a good idea to start a IT business there Thank you
Hi! I just found your channels, thank God for it! I moved to Ljubljana with my boyfriend 3 weeks ago, he has a job here, that's why we moved, and I am staying at home for a while, which is frustrating a bit. I was a public health nurse in Hungary, our home country, but it's a special profession which doesn't exist in other countries. I searched for jobs on the internet, but I found only managers and engineers jobs at big companies, I don't have a qualification for these kind of jobs. On the end of the month I will start Slovene language course, and I hope I can find a job if I can speak the language. By the way, Ljubljana is beautiful, and Slovene people are really nice!
laczkaeszter hi i am nurse too. Are you working as a nurse in Slovenia now? How you applied? I am also interested to find nursing job here. Thanks and have a hreat day!
@@daniceyurong1801 Hi! I couldn't find any job, when I lived there. I moved home back in October 2018. I am sorry I can't help you with any advice, I hope you will be more successful than me! Have a nice day!
laczkaeszter the first thing is we need to learn their language, this the advise from a friend who is also a healthcare worker here. Goodluck to you in your home country! Thanks for the reply 🌹
You're back! :D I'm here doing EVS now, but if things go bad back in Portugal I was actually considering coming here in the future. I guess I'll have the advantage then of already knowing a bit of the language and culture but I'm still hoping I'll get to stay in my country :) (there's nothing like speaking your tongue language!) Thank you for the great video!
I think Cooks are needed as well. If you are good at cooking your regional cuisine, send some mails to Slovenian restaurants/catering companies beforehand. Other than that, like you guys mentioned, IT workers, engineers (mechanical, electrical), welders, chemists...
Hi everybody, so my fiance (Mexican) and I (Slovenian) are thinking of moving to Slovenia (currently, we are living in Germany). Obviously, this would be a very big step and we are a little bit concerned about him finding a job (we are thinking about Ljubljana). He holds a M.A. degree from a German university in international relations and development economics. Any ideas, about where looking for a job in his profession in Ljubljana would be realistic, since he does not speak Slovenian (apart from a few words)? Or any other useful tips? Would be much appreciated. Lucy
A basic linkedin job search or glassdoor to use as references, gives you a pretty clear idea that finding a (good) job in Slovenia without speaking the language or Serbo-Croatian - since their business sphere evolves around the Balkans to a great extent, has chances close to winning the lottery. Needless to say that a technical/non theoretical background is a great passport to any country in the world - very general comment you make on this, the same accounts for languages. I understand from your t-shirt that speaking Czech or Slovak (or both), is a distinct advantage in learning the language much easier there. On top of all, the county is very expensive, rediculously priced accommodation in LJ - as if you are in another European metropolis (justifiable by inadequate supply), and very high taxes - yet another thing to consider (I know of cases where senior level management applicants decided not to move due to this very reason). Multinational companies are almost nonexistent and have moved to other cheaper labour countries and with a better inverstment environment - Poland, CZ, SK, SRB, HU, etc...It seem that Slovenia ia not very keen on doing the same - I do not comment whether this is right or wrong. Bitcoins and startups is something positive and as you say your own business may work out, diffcult though again. Final thing I need to mention, that it is also a very expensive destination to fly to (sometimes better to go to Trieste or Venice or Zagreb). Other than the above, the standard of living can be very high provided you are doing well financially - very safe, very green and literally 0 pollution, well connected by vehicle (trains are a nightmare), active lifestyle , cool and relaxed people - from their ex YU heritage, with an Austrian twist and organisation. My two cents, I know the place pretty well. Still looking for a job there if it ever shows up :) For now, elsewhere in Europe. Cheers.
I know you posted this over a year ago, but I'd like to ask you what field are you working in? Sadly, I must agree with you about the taxes and language barrier, but my wife personally knows foreigners (she used to teach slovenian) from UK, Germany and other countries that moved to Slovenia and are quite happy here. But again, taxes suck
Due to current situation, the hirings have stopped quite considerably. But, if you are still interrested, I could ask around. Some of my friends are in hotel business (not owners mind you, just have some positions in manegement of hotels)
Hey, great video first of all! I'm moving to Slovenia in September and I would like to keep my online clients since I am generally working remote... I heard that if you are any type of a freelancer or working online, that you must open your own business (register as self-employed) and pay monthly about $300 for the taxes, regardless of your profit.... Can you give me a bit more info on that...?
How to apply!? Hehe.. I’m nurse and I’m here in Saudi Arabia.. I want a changes.. even caregiver indeed I will grab it! Hope I will found a job.. thank you guys..
If one do the MBA in finance and banking in Slovenia top university? What is job prospects in Finance and banking for non EU citizens, do they have campus hiring.
It's possible to work without from company in Slovenia. I from Nepal but still I am in Slovenia. My address is Petrovče. Its possible to find job near to my location Any kind of job?
Sadly, those kinds of jobs are hard to find. I have a friend that has a doctorate dergree in arts for years, but due to our government neglecting art and culrure, there is just no place hiring if you don't already know some person that is able to hire you
Hello, can I ask someone who work in Slovenia to clarify something, I am English and live with my Slovene wife in the UK, we have a little one who is four in the summer. My wife's parents live in Slovenia and they plan to come over in the Summer for my little ones birthday, but her mother needs a knee operation and is currently off work until that is carried out. I understand that she cannot leave Slovenia or even her town whilst off sick, is this a common rule? She is concerned some 'people' will show and expect her to be home so unless this rule is no longer the case it looks unlikely that she can come unless her operation has been completed by that date. Would someone be able to clarify please? :) Thank you
From what you are saying I understand that your mother in law is on a sick leave, meaning she is not working and she is receiving some money to substitute her salary (the money is paid either by her employer or the state). In order to prevent a misuse of this system (e.g. people making up their diseases and pain in order not having to work for some time while still being paid for doing nothing) the state institutions do random checks to make sure you are really at home (or at a doctor etc,), recovering from your disease etc. If they find you in a bar, let's say, you can get a fine. That's why it is advisable not to walk around the city too much or leave the country.
Thank you so much for replying, yes, she works for a private company and is still being paid by them but has been told she cannot work by a Doctor (as I understand is common in Slovenia). She is scheduled for knee replacement surgery due to a growth and although painful to walk she obviously can. I thought that it might actually be different if the system was aware that she is scheduled for a replacement knee and therefore would be allowed to travel, especially being as her only child is here in the UK and can care for her better. Sorry, it may seem a strange question, but it is obviously very different here in the UK, and it is difficult for me to find information on the internet. Thank you once again. Hvala :D PS Due to my own insistence, my little girl can already speak Slovene and has dual citizenship :)
Hii I'm Mani .. I'm Indian .. Studied bio dynamic farming and organic farming.. I have five years experience.. can I get job Slovenia... Give some advice for me
Even if you are a Slovene it can be hard to find a proper job, but to be honest, it's all about luck. If you find an employer who will see your potential, then it won't be a problem.
Hello, I've been living in Ljubljana since April and I can honestly say that I have never felt safer in any other place :) especially as a woman, I walk home alone at night almost every day and never had any problem. Same goes for my friends, males and females. Also, hithhiking for example is a very common practice to travel around Slovenia, which again shows how safe the country generally is :)
What do you need to know? There's lots of websites and Facebook groups out there to help with foreigners coming to Slovenia. www.erasmusljubljana.si/ Loads of good ressources there!
