Good tips! I lived in Prague for 2 years an half and what I found out it's basically that as fresh graduate you are bombed by opportunities but more you gain experience and more you will crash into reality , because the market offers 70% entry level positions so will not be that easy then to change company for better salary or higher position, but you need to climb into your organisation which is also not that easy; Prague market is divided by : Class A employer: pharma and IT which they pay you good as entry level but slow career movement so you will get bored and find out that you do not grow vertically but just laterally. Class B employer : outscoring companies , not well known companies , companies that they tend to hire young people. So in these companies they pay you bad a the begging , so will be hard to accept that for same role other empooyers pay better , you will see a lot of turnover and this can be a good advantage to grow and get senior role even within only a year , but you need to be mentally strong to accept to stay in those environment; you will see that people after a year they use to leave for better salaries. Suggestion: if you have some experience avoid outsourcing companies, and try to negotiate your salary not lower than 40K kc gross for field of HR, Finance and Procurement. For IT jobs the minimum is 50K kc gross. If you are fresh graduate and you would like to put well known name into your CV, go to Prague gain experience and enjoy the lifestyle without think about the salary for the first 2 years.
Qualified workers in manufacturing can have even better salary than some office people, so another tip is - don't look only for office work or other jobs with "clean hands," it's mostly not what you expect, especially when you see first salary. This is the most common mistake which foreigners do, they have sometimes even technical education, but for some reason, they want to be only somewhere in office even when they can program CNC machines and such mostly well paid things. From what I heard, work in callcenter is probably the worst thing you can do, that people sometimes can't even go to toilet.
IT jobs are also interesting. Developers, at very least, need to be good at written English, as they need to read and write documentation. And this is not all - generally, whether it's a multinational corporation with a branch here or a Czech company with global ambitions (or already globally successful), English is important. Customer services often require other languages as well. Customers can come from different countries and some of them don't speak English (or they are not good at it). While English is still a must for the job, the more languages you speak, the better chances you have at getting job at support. While you would basically be a more tech-savvy call center worker who helps the customers with the use of the product, and who receives bug reports, and in some cases, there are rotating shifts, it offers a good job security. And there may be other positions in IT companies. For example, if a Czech company offers services in US, an expert on US law is probably needed. Here, my knowledge is very scarce though. Either way, I think IT companies may be among the better ones at offering job to foreigners / expats. Last, but not least, nice video, good quality content. And I like your haircut!
very nice video! you are very well spoken! video was of good quality. you definitely improved a lot. not just as youtuber it looks that even as person you improved a lot. you was kinda sleepy doll but now you are more energetic and confident etc. really nice transformation. you look more independent and "life ready", let's say emancipated in good way...
Before I was doing a lot of content that I didn't want to do and it came off that way. So now I'm just doing whatever I feel like. So I will only create like 2 videos for the Czech people here while still doing the things that I would also like to experiment with or just have fun doing. I am also adding a bit more of myself to the videos because I was playing a part as well, so that's why.
I am from accounting/sales manager background as well! But i have certification as well as experience of teaching yoga and English! And i am in the process of moving to Prague..do you if the employer helps with the visa once you get the job?
@@user-xx2dh8kp9u Most jobs won't provide you with a visa unfortunately. You'll need to find some way of getting in or get an offer letter and apply yourself.
Hi, thank you for sharing this video, just watched it and kinda interested in working in call centers hoping you can share your idea about it and on how to apply. Thanks alot, appreciate your reply.
Hi there, there are definitely call center-like jobs here though they don't have the best work environment or conditions but if you're okay with that then you'll be fine and they definitely hire those who speak English and having another European language is always beneficial. Icon is a place to look into or even recruitment agencies (as being a recruiter) some sponsor, some don't. Just do a search and apply but normally they tell you about a lot of benefits and none of them actually happen.
@@neocaptures honestly it's an alright wage but it depends where you work. Some places will definitely pay you less than others and take full advantage of you
@@neocaptures for your reference the best I could see you get in a regular position (not management or something else higher) would be $1600 USD per month.

Hello First of all your video is very informative. I am from india and I completed masters in computer application and I recently went to czech republic as a waiter in Hotel.I just 4 month here.Now i am searching for job in IT but am struggling to find an IT job as a fresher.If you get any information about enter in to IT please let me know.
Yes in the Czech Republic if you are going to be employed they always make you take a medical exam. They are very basic and would only exclude you from a job if you can’t meet the physical requirements. All of my jobs have been desk jobs so the exam is very basic. I’m not sure about physically demanding jobs though.
I am a citizen of Czech and U S of A & I speak both well; You say all I need is a CV & have a English Teaching Certificate & I can get a job more easily ?
Well it depends if that is what you want to do but yes, they love native English speakers to teach classes. You could even teach czech to native English speakers as well. Just be certain if you go for a specific course that it is what jobs are looking for, so do a bit of research before buying the course.
Thank you so much Vita for some valuable information. Could you please tell me is it possible to get a job offer by searching online job portal from my own country? I have a degree with a vast job experience and good English skills.
It will depend. Will you need a visa to work in the Czech Republic? That will make it a lot harder to find a job though some companies are willing to support those who need them. I believe T-mobile in Brno sponsors people to work for them and then once you are in the Czech Republic you can switch to a živnotensky(if I spelt that correctly) visa and then you can work anywhere as a contractor and stay in the country.
@@vitaluka Dear Vita, many thanks for your reply. Yes, I need a job Visa to work there and migrate there. But I don't know how to get a Job Offer or Work from abroad. You recommend T-Mobile company, thanks for that. I shall try to contact with them. Are there any other company or resource to get a Job Offer from my home country?
@@mdaminulislam1397 I have listed some places in the description of the video as to where you can look for jobs and then you would just need to apply and see what happens.

After mastets in civil engineering in czech Republic. Can I find job there or it's difficult to find job after study for Indian. I am bit confused please help me 🙏
Well if you study at a Czech university or college you are entitled to the job market as if you were Czech. It would be best if you were to look on LinkedIn to see if there are any openings within your job market or on the job boards that I have mentioned in the description. Unfortunately, in my casual viewing I haven't seen any. You can always post as yourself looking for a job in that industry and maybe people will reach out to you. Make sure you note what languages and at what level you can speak them as that will also assist with getting offers.
@@mihan6834 Yes unfortunately, it is. It's only easy if there are large vacancies within the industry which is what you will need to research because I am not sure what you can do with a civil engineering degree. Not knowing Czech makes it extremely difficult to find a good job in the Czech Republic.
@eryunamejames4696 there are all kinds of jobs. The only issue is what are your skills, what languages do you speak, and does your education transfer over. It’s best when you know how to sell yourself so you can ace a CV and interviews and actually get jobs.
What would you like an update on? It's kind of stayed the same. Right now I would recommend actually working remotely for a company not located in the country.
Sorry, I have been taking a social media break and just getting around to reading some comments now. As for an update, minimum wage increased 1000kc this year (that is not a lot it put the minimum wage from 15,000kc/month to 16k). For teachers its better to be private teaching languages as you can control what you make but definitely in comparison to other jobs a foreigner might do, teaching for private schools is definitely better paying than those other jobs. You just have to see what exactly is out there, how much you want to hustle, and find something that is a good fit. A lot of those teaching jobs start off poor and then you can be promoted or provided additional benefits later. Another option could be teaching in Germany and you commute from the Czech Republic and live close to the German border; higher pay with a lower cost of living.
Hello!! Luka I'm from India and I'm planning to go there to the Czech Republic and work there as a TV Assemble....So, can u please tell me that Is this job pays above avg or??? And I just graduated
Do you already have the job or you're looking in that market? If you already have the job what is the wage that they are going to pay? 35,000 is the average wage of Prague currently and depending on your lifestyle that can be difficult to live on.
@@vitaluka Thank you for the reply.....They are providing Accommodation, transportation and medical insurance and told they will give 700-1000euros....
@@MissTT-og1cl well the wage isn't too bad as long as you are not working more than 200 hours a month, and hopefully you're closer to the 1000 EUR. If they have you working more than 200 hours it really isn't worth your time. You could get better pay at McDonald's or Alza or a lot of warehouses that pay around 120-150/hr. Hourly wages are always better than monthly wages just so you know, especially in labour jobs. Just make sure that the accommodation is habitable and that you have decent health care coverage or find doctors who accept it. Not every health care coverage is taken by every doctor here.
Also be sure to take your commute times into consideration with how much you work. If it takes you an hour or more to get somewhere and then to go home again it will add up to not be worth your time considering you'll get down to like $3/hr as your wage.
