Living in Lux Finding a job in Luxembourg in 2 weeks

Hello all. I am planing to visit Luxembourg in November/ December and I'am staying at my step-sister's parents house. I know only English but I'm learning a bit of French.

Mz question is, do you think it's possible to find job in 14 days? It doesn't matter what kind of job, as long as I find one.

difficult without French and no qualification.

even in some warehouse? I can learn French but need some job to start there... any job.

The lower skill job the more likely they require French. This is really logical as you would need to communicate with your co-workers

So you think it's impossible to find something just with English?

I don't know of much warehouse work in Luxembourg, I think your best bet is trying to find work serving in a bar. The ones in the center generally cater to more English speakers, but even there a little French might be an advantage.

For warehousing work English is not a qualification - depending on the company will have to be French or German. Plus you'll need qualifications to use equipment.

Are you actually allowed to work in Luxembourg?

I should be. I mean, I live in EU (Slovakia). Unless I need some kind of permit to work there...

I have found some werehouse work online but they did not reach me back....Ok, thank you for the tip. I guess I can try to learn a little French before i go to Luxembourg.

I really hope I will find something :)

You should definitely spam out your resume and make contact with potential employers before you arrive. 14 days is quite short and it'll be really difficult if you need to research while hustling for a job (hiring decisions can be slow which doesn't help). Other areas that haven't been mentioned by others would be manual labourer for construction. It's really tough work, but I wouldn't be surprised if they always need more people.

I don't have a family in London. Why do you think it's impossible?

It is for an unskilled job

u/TheNons3nse Oct 27 '17

I still got some time to learn a bit of French. It's better than nothing...

u/Hugix Oct 26 '17

I don't think it will be possible or easy, but note that you can try it on Germany/France/Belgium too. Maybe you can get one in a French city near Luxembourg.

u/TheNons3nse Oct 27 '17
