Hello guys,

I registered this site as I would like to know if my plans are totally insane or just a little ;)

I plan to move to Brussels (probably not the most original idea...but still, worth trying), don't have a job there, just some acquaintances, instead I lived there for 3 months and worked in Hainaut region, it was an internship. I speak English, French and Russian, have a Masters' degree and a previous professional experience.

I really need your help... I want to know if this project is workable or it may be a complete waste of time and money? How possible is to find a job in Brussels? For the beginning, I'm planning to stay about another 3 months...

Thank you a lot for your comments!

brussels is the region in belgium with highest unemployment rates, finding a job will depend on how much you are willing to sacrifice in a supply and demand environment im afraid, speaking french and english will probably get you places if you look to the hostel/accommodation sector, or you could try a call-center but they might require you to speak dutch as well
