Great idea Somx112!

Really good idea! Just keep the chat in English, please...

I have to start working on the 16 th of October in Brno and I have no place to stay (yet) .
If there are people reading this forum in similar position please reply, maybe we can help each other.

Thx

Does anyone now if you need your Romanian work book at IBM?
Thank you.

almost certain NO (you won't need it)

Anybody knows how long do I have to wait to get the work permission from Czech Republic - Manpower. I send the notarized documents to Manpower on 28 August and can I get the visas from Romania or not.

Hello all,

I edited the title since it was too restricted (not only IBM employees can post here).

I received several messages from forum readers and I try to answer all of them but my actual job requires extensive traveling and it is not always possible.
Please feel free to post a few words in English, so you have much better chances to find several people in your situation, possible same nationality

Looking forward to hearing from you

Piece of advice: Read carefully this forum threads because they explain a lot of things I was asked.

hello all,

i have a job offer for joining lufthansa call center in brno...it would really help any advice/useful info from other working there..

should I go for it?

thank you in advance

Hello, yesterday I was contacted by IBM manager via phone, for an interview. In the end of the conversation, he told me that I'll be contacted by someone from Manpower, but.... nothing yet :suspicious: Should I wait for more days? What did that means? It's ok? He accept me for the job? Thanks.

I wait 8 days, an they send me an email with the position and salary.

Resonable. Thanks :)

I took 8-10 days before manpower caled me

mi pare bine sa te cunosc prin intermediul Czech forumului unde m-am inscris de curand, adica azi sambata 23.09.2006. Eu voi veni in Brno pe 01.10 si voi incepe activitatea la Manpower pe data de 02.10. Initial mi-am aranjat cazarea la hotel Palacky din Kolejni, unde am mai fost odata. Am inteles ca tu cauti un flat si un coleg de camera. Si eu la fel, dupa 15.10 as vrea sa inchiriez si am ajuns la concluzia ca e mai avantajos sa inchiriezi un flat 2+1 sau 2+kk, la vreo max. 12.000 CZK, cu tot confortul. Daca inca mai cauti si nu ti-ai gasit coleg de camera ma ofer eu. Eu sunt inca in Bucuresti si sunt in legatura cu doua agentii din Brno, care "par serioase" si ai caror angajati stiu engleza. Bravis s.r.o. (www.bravis.cz) si Bily reality (www.bilyreality.cz). Am corespondat cu ei si s-au oferit sa-mi gaseasca ceva. Daca vrei sa vb cu ei iti voi da telefoanele lor. Mi-au spus ca e greu dar ca in 2 sapt. se poate aranja. Astept raspunsul tau cat mai curand. Poti sa-mi si scrii la adresa rdumi2050@yahoo.com sau ID mess: radudum2005 sau ID skype: radudum2006. Ar fi extraordinar ca acest forum sa uneasca cat mai multi romani care lucreaza in Brno. Eu ma gandesc chiar la un site care s-ar putea promova sau chiar la o mica organizatie (de ce grecii, bulgarii si ungurii sa aiba asa ceva si romanii nu, chiar asa nu putem fi putin uniti si sa ne ajutam, macar in strainatate ?). Ce parere ai de subiectul asta ?
Te pup si iti doresc toate cele bune.

Buna Mihai,

Te deranjez din nou cu un mesaj :). Saptamana trecuta am primit si eu o oferta d la IBM prin MANPOWER. Aveam initial o oferta d la LUFTHANSA, oferta care financiar nu m-a incantat. Cei d la IBM mi-au propus un job in helpdesk (ceea ce si fac acum) si astept interviurile in engleza si franceza (azi dupa amiaza si maine dimineata). Salariul mi s-a spus k va fi negociat intre 700-900 euro brut. Poti sa-mi spui cum au decurs interviurile tale si ce a urmat dupa ?! Multumesc, Cristina

Please keep the discussion in english. Otherwise i'll need to close the thread.

Thank you.

Please keep the discussion in english. Otherwise i'll need to close the thread.

Thanks Mr Administrator. My cousins are Romanian and soon I will be with them and learn your language.

About language...finding people speaking anything else than czech is quite difficult in here...and their language has so many consonants that I decided to learn just the basics....

It's true, there aren't a lot of people who want to talk english (in CZ) but a lot of them do speak it...

Same for me. I will arrive on 1st of March in Brno. My id is mandrei99 (y).

Regards,
Andrei.

to romanians on this thread: be so kind to keep the content on the forum in _english_, please note that most people who help you on this forum are CZECH (which is why they can help so much, many times), and they haven't posted a _word_ in czech. you can always use private messaging for talking in your native language, exchanging email addresses, and such ;)

Hi guys!
I'll be joining the romanian "team" of workers that have to replace the czechs that go working in USA and Great Bitain and France....and so on ....,(I don't intend to be mean ;) ) on the 7th of May toghether with my girlfriend.
We will of course need to rent a flat ...but this issue will be discussed later on ...
Could you tell me if there are some nice bars where you get toghether in Brno?...do you get toghether at all ....are romanians still afraid of each-other??? what a f**ck????
ok ...now some infos I need ....could anyone tell me what are the income taxes in Czech Republik ? how do they apply ? ...monthly ...or yearly? do you pay them yourself or they get kept out of yuor paycheck??
Is a 24000 - 27000 (before taxes) a good salary in Czech Republik?
To many qouestions?
And then?
.....and then...?
.......and then?..... ( Dude ...where's my car?)
Thank you for your answers if there will be any ...and hope to find a great romanian comunity in Brno ....
I play guitar ...so maybe we can get drunk toghether sometime ::::))))
See ya...in may!!!

hi,
i dont see how that would be mean, they go for more money, when they go, not because they are not wanted here ;), actually, i can tell you from experience that they will usually have priority, so i think nobody here will feal offended.

dont know about bars, sorry, or about romanian "brotherhood" here. who cares anyway :)

the paycheck you mention should be quite decent (depends on your position and so on), however ask info from the hr you have been talking to. it is not your problem how income is taxed in CR (at least this was my view), tell them you want to know the amount after taxes, they will oblige. you pay those taxes out of your salarry, but i think the normal porcedure is that the employer does this for you automatically (you will only get the net amount "in your hand" ). i can assume from my own experience that you will probably left with enough money to not need to worry to much, and also it is a bit better than the average in CR (though not the average in IT ;), and i wont even speak of the average in RO.. if it is for two persons to live on, it can be a bit tight, otoh, if both of you have a salary like that, you should be very ok, unless you are used to living the "good" life :).

i must add, for your beneffit, allthough i said it before: note that, most likely, you will get your first paycheck about one month after you get here , so dont count on it at first (do ask your HR about it), most banks will not grant you credit when you just arrived(if not all), so you should probably have at least 1200euro to "invest" when you get here (depends , ofcourse, on several things). relocation reinbursmnet will also be after at least one month, so forget about that also, for the first month. you have been warned ;)

dont know about your car (or the stuff you've been smoking :), but i know mine is still at some dealer, hope i'll get it soon ;) wish me luck

all the best
