Seeking work in or around Krakow

The best thing to do in krk is to simply walk or drive around to the individual schools..   the TEFL is a good thing to have but most schools hire off the books anyway and have no interest in being above board because they have to pay the national insurance tax for you...   don't get me wrong there are some places that will hire you above board but most wont.  Krakow is a hard area to live if you don't speak Polish and they are not very foreigner friendly when it comes to looking friendly when it comes to looking for work.

I spent 4 years there before moving to a more english friendly country with my Polish wife...

Krakow is a great place as a tourist when you have money to spend otherwise it is pretty hard since it is easy to spend money as water in Poland i would advise that when you relocate you watch out for every zloty you need to spend.
You could work at a tourist office, or in an English speaking restaurant or Pub.
You can also offer services to the expat community in Krakow.
Start learning Polish at Prolog school in Krakow, they are excellent.
Do as many things as you can until September-October because the Winter months are dull and things get harder as it is dark at 4 or 5 pm.
All the best,
