- Searching with the help of an agency: You are assisted by an intermediary who selects vacancies, negotiates with employers and prepares you for interviews.
Which option to choose?
Self-search:
Pros:
- Savings: You don't pay a commission to an agency.
- Independence: You are in control of the search process and can choose any vacancy that suits you.
- Direct contact: You communicate directly with the employer, which can give you more information about the vacancy and the company.
Cons:
- Time-consuming: You have to search for vacancies yourself, study information about companies, prepare for interviews.
- Difficulty: Finding a job in an unfamiliar country can be difficult, especially if you do not speak Polish.

Searching with the help of an agency:
Pros:
- Time saving: The agency takes care of most of the work of searching for vacancies and communicating with employers.
- Professional help: You get counselling on job search, paperwork, interviewing.
- Access to vacancies: Agencies often have access to vacancies that are not publicly advertised.

Cons:
