Home to many international companies, Warsaw has an excellent job market for potential expats. Of course there are several immigration hurdles, but landing a job should not be overly difficult if you have the right skill sets.
If you're a backpacker and looking for short-term employment this may be somewhat more difficult, as you are legally required to have a work permit. You could possibly find short-term work in the hospitality industry, or possibly as a tutor or an ESL teacher.
If you'd like to work in Warsaw, or Poland for that matter, but don't want to go through the hassle of finding a job opportunity, there are some employment recruiting agencies you can use in your search for a job. Just a few are:
Institute of Polish Language and Culture for Foreigners
Part of the Warsaw University. 1200 zÅ for a standard course or 1800 zÅ for an intensive one.
concerts and performances
Warsaw is home to several professional musical and play companies. Being the capital city means the Polish National Opera (http://www.teatrwielki.pl...) and the Warsaw Philharmonic also, National Philharmonic (http://www.filharmonia.pl...) call Warsaw home. There are a number of other companies, including play companies and theaters that will likely be of interest to travellers.

Sports
Warsaw is not internationally known for its sports teams or for any of its sports venues, although that may change in 2012 as Warsaw, and Poland as a whole with Ukraine, has improved their sporting infrastructure and stadiums as the hosts of the European Football Championship in 2012. Renovation of the Legia football team's stadium has finished.
Despite all the emphasis on football, no traveller to Warsaw should be so naive as to think that football is the only sport to do in Warsaw. There is a mixture of both professional sports teams for spectators to visit and participatory sports for travelers to participate in.
Festivals
Noc Muzeów
Noc Muzeów is a fun night that sees thousands of people turn out to spend the night wandering around Varsovian museums and galleries for free. It's a great opportunity to wander around with your date of friends, as many people do, and grab an ice cream cone from one of the many cafes that stay open late. Most museums and galleries will stay open past midnight. Noc Muzeów usually occurs around mid-May.
Old-Polish Music Festival
Garden Theaters Contest
