Well Im looking ahead into the future but I'd like to start gathering info now. I will be ETSing out of the Army in a couple years and will be completing my Bachelors from Texas A&M University in the States in Communications, and Agricultural Economics (2 degrees). I have also worked in Finance and did a year of school for Corporate Financial Management at St Marys University.
What sorts of jobs are there in the Czech Republic for Americans? I can get learning material to learn Czech, I've been trying with some basic material I got from someone in the Army who does languages. I have a lot of family in the CR, Slovakia, and surrounding areas and I would really like to visit and spend some time working there for the experience and to get to know a culture and a side of my family that I rarely see. |

If you skim through jobs.cz you will find lots of job offers in english. Many companies search for people speaking proper english (no czenglish) and you can also use expat comunity (expats.cz) because lots of english speakers run their business in Prague.
A až přijedeš, tak tě zvu na jedno (but only if you can decipher it) 
On a side note: Iam quite courious how does army textbook of CZ language look like. |

I think it was a Rosetta Stone type deal that he said he could hook me up with. I have a few iPhone apps that were free that are helping me learn basic greetings and the like. |

What passport / visa do you have? If it is only a US passport, you might find it is not so easy as you think to work here.
If you have European born parents, you probably can get an EU passport. If you do, check the requirements from the country of birth of your parents(s), get the documents together and do it, as it could be handy for you at a later date. If not, you have to apply for a EU Blue Card (which is recent). The requirements are: A recognised diploma, and: Evidence of at least three years professional experience, and; Offer of an EU job contract with a salary of three times the minimum wage. It isn't valid for places like the UK, and a few other places, which have their own work visa systems. Whether this replaces individual work visas issues by countries, I have no idea (start checking into it I suggest), but they were only valid for the country you were issued with, but probably allowed you to get offered lower level jobs. Issue is unless you can speak the native language, your chance of someone offering you a job when outside the country is slim, unless you have family who can sort you out with a job that is. |
