Hidden vacancies

Networking is an important way of finding work in Hungary so it may be worth undertaking an internship or period of study in Hungary first in order to build up a list of personal contacts. University careers services, for example at the Central European University Business School, Corvinus University of Budapest and Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), may be able to put you in touch with employers.

Speculative applications are accepted in Hungary. As with any speculative application, you will need to do your research thoroughly. If you are interested in working for a multinational company with an office/base in Hungary, it may be worth applying directly to them.
