Athens - Post Report Question and Answers
What types of jobs do most expatriate spouses/partners have? Locally based or telecommuting? Full-time or part-time? Can you comment on local salary scales?
Embassy and working from home (international) seemed to be most common, it would be hard to work without Greek. Local salaries are lower if you work on the local market. - Oct 2023
The embassy has a couple of EPAP positions and a CLO Coordinator. Everything else for EFMs is higher grade, and, in my opinion, likely not going to work for anyone who needs childcare. - Mar 2022
Jobs in the US mission are few and far between. - Feb 2018
EFM jobs are very limited here. First come, first serve. - Oct 2017
I know of a few spouses who work on the local economy as teachers. - Dec 2016
Teaching jobs are available and jobs at the Embassy were slim. - Sep 2013
Greece has the second-highest Euro unemployment rate behind Spain (22%), so not many jobs available. Mostly teaching English and other languages. - Jul 2012
I think it may be difficult without knowing the language very well. - Jan 2009
So so. It helps if you can speak Greek. - Dec 2008
