Finding a job in Sofia can be a challenge for those who are not acquainted with the country, the city, the labour market, the companies, the vacancies, the requirements and duties the openings are bound with, etc.

Actually, Sofia has lots of opportunities to offer. For example, for people speaking two or more foreign languages, because many international companies outsourcing their customer care business activities in Bulgaria, particularly in the city of Sofia, look for young and enthusiastic people with strong communication skills for their customer-care departments. In order to qualify for such a position candidates should also have problem-solving skills and be customer and result oriented. Not on the last place they have to be prepared to work in a dynamic and multinational environment so getting acquainted with the business etiquette of countries where key clients and partners of the company operate is not a bad idea.

For those candidates who are speaking more than two foreign languages but are also pursuing a university degree in Sales or Marketing (or preferably have already obtained one) Sofia has to offer lots of sales and key account management positions as well. Applicants for those appointments must have strong business understanding, marketing knowledge and the necessary commercial acumen in order to be able to appreciate the market and be able to influence the other party during the negotiation process.

Not on the last place candidates with a degree in Computer Science might think of a career in Sofia as IT-specialists. Besides the relatively high salary (compared to the average living income in Bulgaria) dynamic opportunities for professional growth in the future lure the young specialists in the field. And when it comes to the application process: professional programming experience could be or could be not a requirement, depending on the level of the position candidates are applying for.
