How hard is it for a US citizen to get a work permit for Europe

How hard is it for a US citizen to get a work permit for Europe?
My friend is a trained English teacher and wants to work in Austria but she is from the US. What would she need to do to be allowed to work? Please help, she's a great person and teacher and as an EU citizen myself I think we'd be lucky to have her.

This is a question that would require some research into Austrian and EU immigration and Visa law. You might want to start looking here: http://www.austria.org/content/view/42/67/ Good luck!

Austria and Germany are members of the EU. Switzerland isn't. For you got get a job in any of the two EU members states you have to have an offer of a job. An employer would have to advertise the job in all 27 EU countries before taking someone from outside the EU. Generally speaking, it is very difficult to get a job in Switzerland. Again like the EU an employer must make a formal job offer for issue of a work permit. The employer then applies for a residence permit from the police immigration section of the local canton. Decision on granting a permit depends on a series of variable criteria such as the type of job, qualifications, etc

i´d say Austria and Germany are easier to get in to, Switzerland is harder, you would need to get a job, and also Switzerland isn´t a part of the european union but it is a part of schengen space, so perhaps if you get a job in the other 2 could eventually find one in Switzerland.

Work and/or residence permission is specific to a single country. Schengen applies only to border control. With a valid work or residence permit in Austria, you have freedom of movement throughout the entire Schengen Agreement zone, but not the right to work or reside in another member country.
