I apologize as I know this forum is geared toward questions about the Czech Republic, but as there's no Hungary forum, I thought I'd try my luck. Plus, I've already posted in the General Europe forum.

Anyway, I'm a recent university graduate, and my girlfriend and I were planning to pack up and head to Budapest in November to get our certificates and hopefully jobs.
I was wondering if anyone had any practical advice. How easy is it for two Americans to find work in Budapest or Hungary in general? Is that an OK time of the year to go?

Secondly, we were looking at going through the Via Lingua program. I'm not sure how much the actual program matters, as I've read that they're external monitored and held to the same standards across the board. That said, does anyone have any positive or negative things to say about going through Via Lingua, or would my money better spent at the International House school?

Any advice, links, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
