Lithuanians are having trouble finding work right now. So no surprise that you are as well.

The big question is how well do you speak and read Lithuanian? Without that skill, it will be very difficult to find much. You will be limited to mostly editing, which you can get from publishing houses (risky right now), translation bureaus, and embassies. Be sure to present a CV in Lithuanian and a sample or two of your work. Since you do not have a university degree, you would be well advised to provide some sort of proof that you have good English skills. Editing is often no longer about just putting in the proper punctuation; it also means understanding complicated technical texts so that the choice of words can be corrected.

Teachers earn a good part of their income from private lessons, which is why sometimes they prefer working only part time officially. The official work is to find the students to tutor privately.

Abakan,
Thank you very much for replying, your advice is very much appreciated!
I have no trouble understanding anything that is said to me (in Lithuanian), however my reading and speaking is not of the best quality (I have just started Lithuanian lessons to amend this problem however).
I have edited a number of documents for the Seimas and a printing house so luckily I will have some proof of my work..

Many thanks again.

You might try translating then. The grammar mistakes have largely disappeared and the dictionaries are pretty good. Do some practice translations to get feedback from friends and to figure out how fast you can make translations.
