Hi there!
I just moved here to Beirut to live with my boyfriend and enjoy the live here in this incredible city.
But now I am looking for a job. Do you have any ideas or connections how I could get a job? I don't speak Arabic, but of course German and English.
In Germany I worked as a teacher, but I would love to do something different...
Looking forward to hear from you!

Good luck- perhaps through your embassy or with an NGO? Challenge is, very few businesses are willing to sponsor a foreigner for a job as the perception is by employing a foreigner, a job is taken away from a Lebanese. Volunteering may lead somewhere to a job as well. As a teacher, you may have better luck through an international school, for example, than other businesses.

Hi everyone!

I'm from Philippines currently living in Lebanon with my Syrian husband. I only know a very few arabic words. I wonder if there is any possibility of getting a job here. I used to work in a call center and a bank back in the Philippines and a receptionist in a bowling center in UAE.
Looking forward to a response from anyone out there.
