Another resource for job seekers looking for work in Poland is the European Job Mobility Portal (EURES). In the same way that you would in the UK, if you wanted to work for a specific organization, you could send them a speculative application with a CV and cover letter. However, unless it is stated that English is acceptable, the majority of employers expect applications to be written in Polish. You should also include a data protection clause at the end of your CV, which authorizes employers to process your data. The provision is as follows:

Wyrażam zgodę na przetwarzanie moich danych osobowych dla potrzeb niezbędnych do realizacji procesu rekrutacji (zgodnie z Ustawą z dnia 29.08.1997 roku o Ochronie Danych Osobowych; (tekst jednolcity: Dz.U. z 2015r., poz. 2135).

If you're applying in English, the clause is as follows:

I hereby consent to the processing of my data included in my application for the recruitment process following the Personal Data Protection Act of August 29, 1997, consolidated text: Journal of Laws 2015, item 2135 as amended.

If you are invited for an interview and are not from an EU country, it is important to check whether you will need a visa from your local Polish embassy before booking your flight.
