Lithuanians are still determined to be close on multiple shifts abroad: they earn up to 2,800 euros in Norway

Still no influx

Algirdas Zazas, head of the employment agency Emigra Inc., in the program. Delphi day He said there was no increase in calls from job seekers abroad before the summer began.

He added that in the past, before quarantine, people looked for work in hotels and factories. Admittedly, the interviewer says that applicants generally seek unskilled work.

“Our own specialization is unskilled work: current job in warehouses, factories or for students in hotels. Usually in summer students go to work in hotels and older people go to factories or warehouses. The most popular destinations they are the Netherlands, Ireland, Cyprus, Greece, Malta and Spain ”, he explained.

When asked at what age people are considered to be older, he replied that the age ranges from 40 to 60 years.

How much money can you earn?

When asked what salary can be expected when going to work abroad, the interviewee mentioned specific amounts.

“Factories and warehouses probably cost around 1,500. This is the amount that already remains after deducting rent and taxes, young people earn around a thousand euros a year in hotels in the summer with free accommodation,” Zaz replied.

When asked if it could be said that seasonal work would end for some without even starting, the interviewee assured that it would still be too early to say.

“It is difficult to answer. The summer season used to be very hot in the past, but it is already missing, with two months remaining, since most of the students wanted to return in early or late September. Basically, it only takes two months to work, it all depends on how fast (…) Ryanair and Wizz Air flights resume. Still, there is a good chance that the summer season is already lost, “he replied.

Lithuanians “aria” several turns in a row

During the show, the interlocutor also spoke briefly about Lithuanian work habits. According to him, some happen for a short time, but they have already planned in advance how much money they would like to earn.

“It is difficult to say, because there are such and such people. Some are very eager to earn money, they have three months or half a year in mind, during which they will work from the shoulder and save as much as possible. Others tend to leave. a little more, like some years, they may emigrate permanently, they look for better working conditions so that there are not too many working hours and they can feel as comfortable abroad as possible. Students generally want to earn as much money as possible in the shortest time possible, “said A.Zazas.

People who want to win more often ask for double shifts, but doing so is far from good.

“Sometimes we talk to people who immediately say they want to work two shifts in a row. First, we suggest falsifying a turn and seeing if there is still strength left. It is not the case that a person works two shifts and earns double at the same time, it will simply be completely exhausted. We suggest focusing more on scheduling flexibility than shifts so you can work twice as much and more, ”he says.

Most of the money is earned in Norway

In the country where the interlocutor says that he pays better is Norway. It is true that there are additional conditions: you must know Norwegian.

“Perhaps Norway would be one of the countries where earnings are better, but for the most part there are temporary jobs that have a beginning and an end. Usually people go to Norway to work for up to half a year, this direction would be the best performing. Language is really necessary in Norway, without it it would be possible to go to Northern Ireland, certain areas of Germany, the Netherlands. The real option without winning a speech in a factory would be around 1,500 euros, excluding rent and taxes, which is a net profit, of course, you must buy it, “he says.

And learning Norwegian can earn up to three thousand euros.

“Around 2,500 or 2,800 euros. This is probably realistic, but the rent must be deducted, and in Norway it is expensive (about five hundred euros), it will still be around 2,500 euros. Food in Norway is also expensive ”, says the interlocutor.

Speaking of areas in which it was already known that staff would be needed, he named three.

“There are three main addresses, I have most of the requests here: from Northern Ireland, Germany and the Netherlands. Of these, we already have confirmation that there will be jobs and people will be accepted. And then maybe Spain, Cyprus, if the students manage to deal with sessions, studies. “
