Lumi - Yeah, I had to give up on Romania because I just couldn’t hack it any more. :P
Bogdan - да, товарищ!
xamox - Moving in the middle of winter definitely sucks, in the snowy areas. About 2 or 3 days before the move, it snowed in Brasov and lightly dusted the mountains. But it went away. And this new place is demonstrably warmer.
You wouldn’t happen to have any information on how a person could go about finding a job in Romania that doesn’t require very much Romanian language skills? I am trying to find a way to somehow stay in Romania for as long as possible IF I can find some source of income and a place to stay.
Jacob - Generally, knowing Romaneste is a prerequisite for most jobs in Romania, so I wouldn’t be an expert on that subject, per se. You may, possibly, perhaps, find some type of job teaching English somewhere in which case they’d probably arrange your work permit. If you have some other special talents, there are several large corporations who have offices here where you may not be required to speak Romanian.
You could start poking around here. But I’m afraid I cannot give you any good advice in that regard, other than to explore possibilities which suit your proven skills and past experience. I wouldn’t find it likely to get a job in a restaurant or anything like that. There are no lawn care or pool cleaning jobs to speak of. I could be wrong, but those types of language-doesn’t-matter jobs don’t usually look for the trouble of arranging work permits for foreigners.
Jacob,
Yes if you’re in Bucharest or Cluj or any other big city in Romania, go to their main state universities, look for Facultatea de Litere (Faculty of Letters). They’re always looking for native speakers of English to hire as teachers ‘lectori straini’. I think that’s all you need to put on your resume with them. NATIVE SPEAKER OF ENGLISH. Then again some teaching experience can’t hurt. :)
Oh Jacob one more thing: you can go to non-profit orgs such as World Vision. Most of them are based in the US and could use you as some sort of liason between their headquarters and the’ territory”. You’d probably have to start by volunteering for them though.
I have been to Romania once in the past. I stayed in Alba Iulia for about a week and a half. I know some very basic phrases and I can understand more than I can actually speak. I think it would be interesting to stay in Romania so I could learn the language more. Maybe I could stay for a few months without making any kind of income. Thanks again for the information :)
Hey there, me too! I am moving over the weekend/monday etc. But our pulse is connected to the internet so we will be back online soon:) Hope you are doing well.

Or you could find job in Szekelyfold without Romanian language skills. As long as you have Hungarian that is :-)

If not Rio, then Bucharest is probably the next best thing.
Good, I knew you were going to make the right choice!
Break a leg!
