# Work in Serbia: How to Find a Job for Foreigners and Russian-Speaking Individuals
Serbia is one of the most affordable options for relocation: the job market is open, there are job openings for Russian-speaking individuals, and everything can be formalized through the employer. Below are practical tips on where to look for jobs and how to legalize your stay.
## Where to Look for Job Openings
- The **[Jobs](https://serbiahub.com/jobs)** section with filters by city, category, and type of employment collects offers from various sources, including those focused on Russian-speaking individuals.
- Local job boards and Telegram chats of professional communities (e.g., "Serbia IT Jobs", "Belgrade Expats").
- Direct responses to employers and recruitment agencies - don't be afraid to write, even if the job opening is not publicly announced.
## In-Demand Positions
Russian-speaking individuals are most often hired in IT, technical support, sales, teaching, beauty industry, construction, and logistics. Knowledge of Serbian is a plus, but in international companies and most IT offices, English and Russian are sufficient.
## Work Permit and Boravak
For official employment, a foreigner needs a **work permit (radna dozvola)** and a **boravak on the grounds of "employment"**; these are formalized by the employer. A detailed list of grounds and required documents can be found in the guide **[Employment and Work](https://serbiahub.com/article/work_employment)**.
Taxes and mandatory contributions from salary are detailed in the article **[Taxes at Work](https://serbiahub.com/article/work_taxes)**.
> **Important:** working illegally without a valid boravak can lead to fines and deportation.
## Omladinska Zadruga
For students and young specialists up to 30 years old, working through an **omladinska zadruga** is popular. This is a legal way to get a part-time job with simplified formalities and a reduced tax rate, suitable for temporary and part-time employments.
## Freelance and Remote Work
If your client is a foreigner, it's convenient to open a **paušal (paušalac)** and pay a fixed tax instead of regular contributions. How it works can be found in the **[Business](https://serbiahub.com/business)** section.
## Resume and Interview
- CV must be in English; a Serbian version will be a plus.
- Indicate languages and your legal status (have a boravak/ permit).
- For IT specialists, prepare a portfolio and links to GitHub.
## Briefly
Look for job openings in **[our job section](https://serbiahub.com/jobs)**, the employer will formalize the permit and boravak, omladinska zadruga is suitable for part-time work, and paušal is suitable for remote work. Russian-speaking specialists are in demand, especially if they speak English.
