Hi,

I was origionally born and raised in Latvia, but moved to UK when I was 13 years old. I have educated (GCSE's, A-Levels, Bachelor Degree in Business Management & Finance) and worked in the UK in different sectors such as sales, recruitment, consultancy and customer service. I also worked for companies of different sizes both FTSE 250 and SME's including market leader in recruitment industry - Hays plc. I am fluent in English and Russian.

I am now planning to relocate back to Latvia. Any suggestions for job opportunities? I do not speak Latvian.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards

Anastasija

Hello,

High end companies could value your assets (I assume your education and experience are solid) and disregard your lack of Latvian language skills.
This is a top job search site, look for both - ads in English and Russian: cv.lv/job-ads/inglise
You could also contact "russian" banks like, rietumu.ru/bank-cv baltikums.lv/ru/careers/we-invite/
bib.lv/ru/career-opportunities

Hope that helps, and if you come back for a permanent stay, I wish you to respect, learn and use Latvian language.

Dear Anistasija,
I am from the US but do have a house in Riga, and travel back and fourth quite frequently.My partner , who is Russian, and stays in Riga for about 6 months of the year doesn't speak Latvian very well , but does speak Russian and English, and finds that if she speaks English to the Latvian people, shops, etc etc....she gets much farther along, !!! Anyway, perhaps you need to learn Latvian, Good luck....I hope all goes well.
