Would you like to search for a job in the Czech Republic in cooperation with the Labor Office? In this article, we will tell you what you are eligible for, how you should proceed and what you should watch out for. <\/p>\n\n
There are two ways to register at the Labor Office \u30fc either as a \u201cjob applicant\u201d or as a so-called \u201cperson interested in a job\u201c. We will explain the difference between these terms below. <\/p>\n\n
This type of registration is open to foreigners with permanent residence, asylum, supplementary or temporary protection, as well as EU citizens and their family members.<\/strong> When you are registered as a \u201cjob applicant\u201d, the Czech Republic pays for your health insurance. <\/strong>In addition, if you can prove that you have been employed for at least one year during the last two years, you will also receive unemployment benefits.<\/strong> To register as a job applicant you will need:<\/p>\n\n If you have been employed in the last two years, you will also need to submit the following documents from all of your employers in the last two years:<\/p>\n\n During the registration, the Labor office\u2019s employee will process your application, instruct you about a job applicant\u2019s rights and obligations, and schedule your first meeting with your contact person.<\/p>\n\n Regardless of your type of residence<\/strong>, you can register as a so-called \u201cperson interested in a job\u201c at the Labor Office. With this registration, you are not entitled to public health insurance paid by the Czech Republic or unemployment benefits.<\/strong> Still, you are entitled to the advisory services of the Labor Office and, in particular, to retraining courses (see below for details). To register, you only need to bring your residence permit and fill out a short form.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n If you need help filling out forms, you can book a free consultation with one of<\/strong> our social workers<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong> The main purpose of registering at the Labor Office is to find a job as soon as possible. Regular meetings at the Labor Office will help you to do this. At first, you will have a chance to look for jobs on your own, but you will always be asked what is new and how your job search is going at the regular meetings. Show the Labor Office\u2019s employee your initiative and bring them your CV, nostrification of your diploma<\/a> or a list of companies you have contacted or interviewed with since the last meeting. These meetings are very important, so keep in mind that you will be removed from the register if you don\u2019t show up for your appointment without an excuse.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n Our tip: You can search for a job not only on the MSPV<\/a> website, but also on the job portals such as www.prace.cz<\/a>, www.jobs.cz<\/a>, expats.cz\/jobs<\/a> or www.workania.eu.<\/a><\/p>\n\n During the first meeting with your contact person at the Labor Office, agree with them on the rules and method of communication \u30fc whether you prefer to communicate via email, by phone or in person. If you don\u2019t speak enough Czech yet, choose communication via email and always use Google Translate<\/a> or Deepl.com<\/a>. Do not forget to start your email with a greeting and always sign your name at the end. <\/p>\n\n\n
