I probably can answer this question myself but I just thought it would be worth just asking on this forum. My situation is that my partner is Romanian and although she wishes to come to the UK we are faced with issues of her young child not being allowed by ex to leave Romania at this time. So to explore all avenues I just wondered if there is any jobs that only require English language, although I have been to Romania many times I have not learnt the language, as there was never the intention to move there but.....I am a young 60 year old (age does not help either) who is a peoples person, working face to face situations all my life with people from all walks of life, I am willing to consider any opportunities that may exist as a possible solution to my situation, confident by nature, a hard and keen worker willing to try anything, anywhere in Romania but ideally in Arges if possible for that is where my partner lives. Even working as a couple would be something considered!. I know this is definitely a long shot, a very long short but if you don't ask you will never know is what I believe in. If anyone has any opportunities or advice I would appreciate it, as I said this is just another option I need to look at which may lead to an open door or close one completely.
Thanks in anticipation
Ian

So a month has passed and there were no responses, not even to say no chance and maybe if you learnt the language you may have stood a slim chance. Anyway it was worth a try, 'God loves a trier as they say', 'nothing ventured nothing gained'.

Hello and good day
I live here in Romania and only speak English. I've been working
for 5 years now and make ok money (7000 lei per month).
It only took me a month to find a job and I did it without any help. Believe me, if I did it you can also do it:)

Hi, someone said 7000 lei per month. I used an online money conversion and it is not making any sense. Did the money change from the time of post 2014 to now?

I've been living and working in Bucharest since 2009 and I found a job with a Canadian company month and a half after moving to Romania. I make between 7 and 8 thousand lei/leu per month. I can speak Romanian now but only speak English at my job/employment. FYI, I'm married to a Romanian man and make 3 to 4 times more then he does

I am looking to move to Bucharest with my fiancee. We finally got a K-1 visa for us to come here, but she is homesick and wants to move back to Romania. I'm ok with that as long as I can find work. I only speak English and very few words in Romanian. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of Canadian company did you find a job with? Also, that is a very good salary for Romania. I think I can rent my place here since it is in a resort area to help a little bit with rent over there. Please let me know if anyone has any knowledge of work there. I'm willing to do anything, but have been working mainly in sales and front of the house restaurant work most of my life. I'm a 45 year old with a pretty good resume. Thanks.

Being a Romanian living in the US, I have some sort of biased information, however, the replies to your post didn't seem to clarify anything of what you asked.
First, 7000RON=1100GBP, which is not bad for Bucharest, although you might have to downgrade your lifestyle expectations if 1100GBP doesn't look that good. You can clearly live decently on that in Bucharest. In Arges, you may not make as much as in Bucharest, but it's all about what you can do. The way you presented yourself, I'd suggest real estate business, even as a beginner. Obviously, there are plenty other venues, but this one cannot go too wrong if you really are a face-to-face person. Good luck, baby, you'll need some.

Hey there, new to this site and I know your thread is a little old but no harm letting you know how things worked for me.
I too am Irish with a Romanian girlfriend, I moved here 2.5 years ago and still don't speak the language.. There is plenty of international companies here looking for English speaking staff and most of them use English for there office communication. Its normally call center work, salaries don't seem great at first about 2000lei a month unless you have some kind of a qualification such as IT which is in high demand, but living here is cheap so don't worry to much...
Once you get here and settle in start getting involved in as many expats and English speaking groups as you can and you won't be long in making connections.
If you are still interested or have questions I am happy to speak further and prob give you a lot more tips from my experience, and that goes for anyone else looking for help..
Also I am allways interested in making new connections and finding opportunities so if there is any Irish or British around Cluj would be delighted to meet and exchange experiences and help each other in anyway we can

Many thanks for your response. Had that been a year or more ago I would certainly have been in touch for more advice. How ever after 3 years I too suffered a similar outcome like WeddingHorses. It seems that even a mature late 40's woman cannot be trusted. Never thought I would be saying that but a lesson in life and a painful one too. Thanks anyway wish you all the best. Take care.

I'm an American lawyer who will be moving to Romania this coming July, where I'm relocating with my wife (of long-standing), who will be teaching at the American school. I'm currently performing writing projects for other American lawyers, but I want to find something local if at all possible, as this is the best way appreciate the local culture. (We've now done stints in India and China.) I'm currently learning Romanian, and I intend to arrive with at least basic conversational skills. While a law-related job would perhaps prove ideal, I'm open to anything worthwhile. I consider myself a writer and editor as well as a lawyer. I have teaching and coaching skills also. I will look into English-medium schools that could use substitutes or who wouldn't get hung-up on certifications for teaching. By the way, I, too, am an older individual (in my early 60s), but I'm still a sharp tack. Any suggestions or comments are welcome--or hot leads, of course! I'm also happy to provide more information about me.
Steve

Was married in UK, getting divorced in Romania. Spent a pile of money renovating the shabby apartment and bought her a Car and lent her Money to set up her Company which she refuses to pay back. Divorce should be finalised on 4th May 2016 so I will be free of the Slut at last.

I would call that good advice, friend.
Personally, I would assess the woman's former lifestyle and put us on a budget that is a couple steps up with expenses paid from a monthly allowance. Some people think foreigners are spendthrifts and will encourage this, thinking there will be plenty of scraps left for them to scoop up.
One must be careful of a woman who wants to establish a position in society.

Most of you are asking whether one could find a job without being able to speak Romanian.
I found a job in Bucharest, pretty well paid, in an IT company (on a non-IT position). I would recommend IT companies, they are doing quite well, and there are many multinational companies.
Even though speaking English (native) is a huge advantage, not speaking Romanian is a handicap. It is important to make an effort and at least try to learn a few words, or even go beyond the classical "Buna ziua", Nobody is expecting you to be fluent in 3 days, but my boss told me he hired me not only because I could speak a bit of Romanian, but also because it showed I was flexible, willing to learn and to adapt to my new situation.
Knowing how to speak Romanian will help you most probably in many other situations.
There are many free resources out there, the one that I like the most is: www.learnro.com/common-romanian-words

Would you have been protected if you kept your main bank account in your own name and had a secondary marital account that you both lived off of.
I assume no real estate owned.

So if a retiree moved there, lived in a rented apartment and had only put the portion of his pension needed for regular expenses his assets would be shielded?

hellraiser66 , hey guy I am fixing to move to Romania around June of this year . My wife is Romanian and I have been trying to learn the language myself. I am not fluent in it but can muddle through to get my point across. The few times I have been there I had no problems getting around as most people speak Romanian. However I have learned that most do appreciate when you do at least try to speak their language. and understandably so. I will do some checking around and see what I can come up with for you though. best of luck to you
