hello.
   I am an irish woman living in Athens for 3 years now. I had a very good job but recently lost it. I am looking now for work since December and have not had any luck, so far. Was just wondering how things are for the rest of my fellow ex-pats?? I feel confident that something will change soon but am starting to become a little worried. Anyway, just rambling thoughts really. I guess I was looking for someone to offer me a job in the Horeca industry of any kind, thanks for your response in advance.
            Best Regards,
                    Elizabeth Ann Linehan

I'm from northern ireland. where abouts in athens are you? its great to see an irish lady on here.

its hard to get jobs nowadays everywhere. what was your occupation before?

keep your chin up youll find something.
