I went this summer for 7 day trip to a summer holiday resort full of young polish chicks and had a blast. Although i didn't lay that many I had loads of makeouts with some high quality girls almost without gaming.

I think my huge advantage was speaking their language but still look/dress/behaving western. The conversation went always like this:
[in polish]
Me: Hey where are you from?
Her: From XY, you?
Me: I'm from X
Her: So your are not really polish?
Me: Well my parents are
Her: Wow you speak perfect polish!
[Makeout]
[Introducing me to her friends]
[Isolation]
...
I really felt like being in heaven
Sure these girls were on vacation and lived out more their wild side but I was still quite impressed compared to wherabouts I live atm.

I finish my studies in int. business administration next february and start thinking about working in poland for some time, maybe in my field or teaching english/german but I have no clue where to start looking for!

Do you know which (maybe global) companies that are located there?
Are there any certificates required for teaching foreign languages? Job websites?

I'm quite flexible because I have some distant relatives in almost every big city thereby a cheap place to stay in the beginning (Gdansk, Poznan, Warszaw, Wroclaw)

There are quite a few international corporations with large offices in Poland who hire foreigners. State St., Edison, Lufthansa, etc. to name a few. However, the major point of these offices being in Poland is cheap outsourcing for data entry and other grindstone tasks. Poland is an outsourcing hub right now because Polish people are smart, but the companies can pay them 1/4 the amount of money they'd pay for the same labor in Western Europe (I'm not saying I agree with this ethic, only that it exists).

If you're good with languages - particularly if you are a native English speaker - you could possibly get a job at one of those places teaching business English. I've met a few people here who got shipped to Poland after putting time in with these companies elsewhere, but I don't think I've met anyone who came here and was hired by them after the move. Don't let that discourage you, anything is possible, I am just wondering what the incentive would be to hire you, an expensive foreigner, over a Polish person, unless you have some unique skill (for example, being a native speaker of English).

There's always TEFL, too. Not glamorous or highly paid by any means, but it's a job, and from what I hear, it's pretty easy. I would avoid Krakow for TEFL since it's flooded with English, Scottish, Irish, and these days, even Americans. Warsaw, Gdansk, Wroclaw, or a smaller city like Katowice, Lublin, Poznan, or Czestochowa would be a better bet for TEFL in my assessment.

I wish I could give you more advice, but I had my job before I moved here and I work in a pretty specialized field. I would be happy to discuss it more over PM.

Whatever you choose, best luck. I love living in Poland. Great cost of living, tons of hot girls who I can (mostly) stand being around, cheap booze, fun parties, good food, and beautiful old cities. Only shitty thing is the weather, which is pretty fuckin bad.
