How to choose a job in Poland so as not to change it after 2 months

If you are looking for a job in Poland for foreigners and do not want to change it in a couple of months, this article is for you.
Working in a recruitment agency in Poland, we often encounter a situation where a candidate gets a job and then a few weeks later is looking for a new vacancy again. The reasons can be different: difficult working conditions, unexpected nuances, high expectations or simply the job is “not to your liking”. But most of these cases can be prevented at the stage of choosing a vacancy.

Today we want to share simple but important recommendations that will help you find a truly suitable job – one that you won’t want to leave in two months.

Determine what is important to you

Before you start searching, answer yourself a few honest questions:

• What working conditions are acceptable to you?
  
  
• Are you willing to work night shifts?
  
  
• Do you have experience working in manufacturing or warehousing?
  
  
• What is more important to you: a high rate or a stable schedule?
  
  
• How important is proximity to work?
  
  
  

When you understand your priorities, choosing a job becomes much easier. You already know what definitely won’t suit you, which means there’s less chance of making a “random” choice.

Don’t just chase the high rate

Of course, we all go to Poland to earn money. But often it is the rate that becomes a trap. It happens that the workload at a highly paid job is so great that after a month a person simply “burns out”. As a result, you have to look for a new job, spend time and energy on paperwork, moving and adaptation.

Sometimes it’s better to choose a stable and less stressful job where you can work calmly for six months or longer than chasing the maximum rate and changing vacancies every couple of months.

Clarify as many details as possible in advance

Don’t be shy about asking questions. A good employment agency will always provide full information:

– How many hours are there in a shift?
– Are there any overtime jobs?

– What is the payment system: hourly or piecework?

– Where is the accommodation located and how to get there?

– What is the schedule: 2/2, 5/2, 8 or 12 hour shifts?

– Is it possible to make advance payments?

The more you know before signing the contract, the fewer surprises you will encounter on site.

Compare offers

Don’t just accept the first job you see because you “want to start as soon as possible.” It’s better to spend a day looking at 2-3 options, comparing conditions, reading reviews, or even asking an agency specialist for advice.

Even if all the vacancies seem similar, little things can play a decisive role: different schedules, different living conditions, relationships at work, location.

Be honest with yourself and the agency.

If you are not ready for physical work, say so. If you have difficulty adapting to night shifts, find out if there are day shifts. An employment agent cannot guess what kind of work would suit you if you do not voice your wishes yourself.

The more honest you are, the higher the chance that you will be sent to a place where you can work for a long time and without stress.

Think about the future

Always evaluate the vacancy from the position of at least 2-3 months. Ask yourself: “Am I ready to work here not just for one day, but for at least a quarter?” If there are doubts at the start, most likely they will not disappear, but on the contrary, they will only intensify.

Stable work is not only comfort, but also the opportunity to receive bonuses, contract extensions, recommendations, or even a promotion. And constant job changes deprive you of these advantages.
