What are the dos and don'ts of finding a job in Georgia?

Hello everyone,

Where is the best place to start when looking for a job in Georgia? Is it better to job-hunt by directly contacting the company of your interest, or should job-seekers rely on a recruitment agency, for example?

Are there any unique aspects that job-seekers should consider when preparing their CV/résumé and cover letter? Should a photo be included?

Do you have any tips on interview conduct in Georgia? Are there any particulars, such as greetings or behavioural customs?

In you opinion, is knowledge of the local language or a regional language necessary to successfully apply for a job? What level of the language should job-seekers have mastered?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

If you're looking for a real job, Georgian and/or Russian is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, a foreigner is relegated to teaching English at a language school or university - if you're lucky. Embassy jobs, NGOs, etc. require upper intermediate Georgian and/or Russian.

Beyond the above mentioned, there are no jobs for foreigners here.

Do you know Georgia's 70% is unemployed? you rather fly to the moon than find a job there, not to mention that you do not even speak the language.

When you want to live in Georgia you have to have BIG money to open biz otherwise forget it
