Looking for a job can be tough at the best of times, but the nature and the current state of the Greek job market certainly does not make the task any easier. Many job vacancies are not even advertised and candidates are often invited for interviews on the basis of word of mouth recommendations. It can therefore be very helpful if you are well-connected or know someone who is. The important part that these "connections" play in many areas of Greek life is a cultural phenomenon, which no doubt will always be present to some degree. Fortunately, the latest recruitment and selection practices are starting to be taken up in Greece and this among other things is leading to more transparency in the job market. This in turn is leading to the increased availability and use of web sites to advertise jobs. The job sites vary enormously in quality from those that obviously have a very active turnover of vacancies, to those that do not advertise even a single job. You can also never be sure how long a job vacancy has been sitting on a site unless it has a date next to it. The best sites I have found are listed below.
