Depends entirely on your other skills, talents and experience!
Can the people you would be living with not help you in this area?
Just as important is what contacts, if any, do you have on the ground. This would enable you to sound out local companies (hotels, conference centres, etc.) and find out if they need anyone with your skills.
Yes, I was considering looking into the hotels. But it's hard browsing the internet because they don't have a career nor employment section. I think I would have to go physically and ask when I go visit again? Thank you..
I can tell you that good reliable help can be hard to find. Friends who are in Real Estate had some difficulties finding good help, but finally have a great assistant in their office. I assume it could be the same for other businesses that have to deal with an international clientele.
There are occasional job listings here on dr1... but I don't ever remember seeing one for P.C. I don't know if big businesses will hire you without a cedula... I think maybe not... but there's a number of new retail places that have or will open soon. Being bilingual would be a big advantage.
well, if you've been reading the recent threads about residency, visa, etc. etc.; you'll see the whole topic is up in the air right now. Technically there is a new law in place governing these things, but it is not being consistently enforced... in fact it seems many govt. workers are not even aware of it. If you're only going to stay 6 months to a year, I don't think you could get residency anyway. You'll need to work for someone "under the radar", which I think is not actually legal, but I'm sure it goes on quite a bit. The bigger problem you might face is the fact that a prospective employer might not want a temporary employee. It will take a little luck to find a good position. Definitely any networking your friends and relatives can do for you would be a big help.
