Hello everyone,
I am a big fan of this forum. Although I never post, I have been reading for years.
I am planning to move to DR soon and no, I did not meet a beautiful dominicana and I'm moving to chase her, lol. Actually I wouldn't mind meeting one when I get there. Anyways, I'm 28, speak excellent Spanish, and English, good computer skills, Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. Several years of work experience with good recommendations.
I am planning to stay at my family's house, which is in a decent section of Santo Domingo, so I won't have to worry about renting a place and such.
How are my prospects for finding a job? Before I get berated for not searching, I did search and I found discussions on call centers, which seem to be a disaster from what I hear from you guys, and some other jobs here and there.
I would like to find a job in an office setting, possibly a bank, or maybe at a hotel. I have excellent customer service skills and I have worked for several years for U.P.S while I've been here in the USA.
Before anyone says, if you work for UPS why not stay there? Well, I am in the U.S on a work visa which is expiring sometime this year. I need to move. My mother is dominican but I was born in Venezuela. Going back to Venezuela is not an option as everyone in my family left due to the political situation. Unfortunately for me, U.P.S does not sponsor foreign employees for green cards so at the end of my temporary Visa I have to go unless I want to become one of the much maligned 12 or so million illegal immigrants in this country.
