hi,
sorry i didn't check the forums.
to tell you he truth, your field of work is not really motivating to find a job in beirut.
but if you were working with science and technology i can motivate you to come while you are not talking arabic.
yo are girl , and italien, so many people will try to take advantage of that. be carreful and don't trust people easely . ok?
i'm a guy , and i tell to not trust guys easely (lebanese) and all nationalities also . because your position is weak once you come to beirut , you don't have any security to find a job, so you might stay unemployed many monthes.
what i can propose to you is (if you know how to work that) to work in a night club as bartender , here i this you have the opportunity to use your beuty and your europeene origin. people here likes a lote the occidental and try to approach them or to imitate them as they are ideal.
i can propose to you also a work in a fancy hotel, where here you will be using languages as italien and french and english , to be employed you must have a beautiful look and a good contact with clients.
about salary it's very various as in italy , you can earn from 2 to 10 euros in hour depending on the impotance of the job you are doing . and how much you will be UNREPLACABLE by anothe employee.
finally as my personal opinion i advice you as european to not come to lebanon in these conditions, but to go to france/ england/swiss/belgium . because you can stay and search a job there without having a VISA ! in the same time if you have any financial problem you can ust take a ticket from skyeuope or ryainair and come back to your family home.

Hola!!! 
hi
yes i'm still in beirut.
i think you must try, because if you don't try you will always say that : "if i tried maybe it could have worked "
as i told , i advice you to be aware and open eyes, think about yourself first ...
in this brutal life we must think little bit selfish , i immagine that if you come to lebanon because of your boyfriend who is lebanese ... i can tell you that it could be a good adventure or a bad one, Nobody know unless you try by your self. Concentrate on your personal interrests , and think that : "if one day i will be separated from my boyfriend , do i have lost many thinks ?"
if your response is "yes" so don't come, but if you judge that your response will be "no" , then come and in all casesyou will be winner and at least you will earn a good experience and have good time near him , in the same time you will not loose a tresure in comming if you will be working here.
come with some money because life here is expensive unless your boyfriend isn't rich .
because "being poor" is the enemy of love 
Hello Simona,
Living in Beirut is very expensive nowdays! Especially downtown. So before you come, I think you need to get a job and accommodation for support. If you intend to come down for a tour, then you have to be financially qualified for that. Its very hard to find a job here. I am lebanese myself with an MA in psychology and I barely found a job! I work in Helem organization (LGBT rights organization in Beirut)and its really not my specialty!! So, make sure you have enough money to come here and try to find a job ASAP if your'e planning on living there!
I'm sure you'll love it here.
Best wishes,
Adella
