Hi fellow friend from Hungary,

I moved to Budapest in Feb with my wife. She got a job here, so I quit mine from Bucharest. I've been searching for 2 months, on a daily basis, for a part-time/full-time/freelancer job in Budapest. My problem is that I don't know the language, although I started learning it. I have 8 years of sales and logistics experience (sales rep, logistic and sales coordinator).

I'm curious, is it really that hard to get a job here? I'm applying on every possible job board/agency from Hungary and yet nobody seems interested.

I'm just curious about your experience. Thanks!

Bogdan

Hi,

Maybe it's because your professions are so heavily reliant on human interaction, there's just no way to do them without a common language.
Were you a software developer for example, you'd have absolutely no problem finding a job with just English.
