Wow... thank you for your replays.
Yes I am from England, I do have a varied work history to be honest from sales to IT to a role I held once as a chemical process engineer at a Nissan car plant. At present I am part of a 3 member team looking after POS (point of sales) equipment via telephone support and also new product testing and integration.
I have a girlfriend who is from the Dominican Republic and from her I am aware that her wages are not good and that the hours are very long. I don’t know the logistics of setting up a business over there as I am a videographer and have produced many shorts and have worked on music videos, short films and corporate promotional videos and even weddings etc. This maybe something I could look at. I am also thinking of teaching English as that may get me a standing and a start in this amazing country.
I have wanted to relocate to the Dominican Republic for a few years now but ties like family and previous girlfriends have stopped me from going, now that I have no ties (family are still here but my nephew is 10 now and could live without me) and that I have met my girlfriend that is Dominican I feel it is time.
I take it that the Dominican is like England that you send in a CV to potential employers asking them of positions currently available or being proposed in the near future? I am coming back for a week in February (to spend it with my lady) but would it be prudent to put some feelers out and hand deliver a few CV's to companies? I don’t want to start off on a bad foot and go about this the wrong way. Is a job agency a better place to start?
I do have to say thank you again for the warm welcome that you have showed me and if it all pans out it would be great to meet up with some of you when I make the move.
Thanks again, all my best, Neil.
