From cafés to tech internships-learn where to find roles, what to prepare, and how to stand out quickly.
Gdańsk's job market for students is more accessible than most cities of comparable size in Poland - largely because the growing tech and logistics sectors actively seek English-speaking, flexible workers.
The fastest way to land a part-time role in Gdańsk is through three channels: university career centres (often have exclusive employer partnerships), LinkedIn (set your location to Gdańsk and turn on "open to work" for part-time), and Pracuj.pl which is Poland's most active job board.
For tech roles - junior QA, support, data entry, or testing positions - check the careers pages of Amazon, Intel, and Energa directly. All three have significant operations in the Tri-City area and run structured student programmes.
For hospitality and retail, direct walk-in applications still work exceptionally well in Gdańsk. Print 10 copies of a one-page CV and visit venues in person during off-peak hours (2–4 PM). Hiring managers in these sectors value initiative over digital applications.
When applying, always tailor the first line of your cover email to the company - one sentence showing you've read something specific about them. Response rates jump from roughly 8% to 25% with this single change.
