Hola! Soy Loni y estoy buscando trabajo en la RD. I have a degree in secondary Spanish and ESL education from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and I would love to find a decent paying job teaching English.
I love bachata and everything Dominican!

No question you can find a job, but what you consider "decent paying" is less certain.

Welcome to DR1

You should try getting a job with the American Embassy in the DR and if that doesn't work you should look into going to Puerto Rico. There you can dance lots of Bachata, get USD$ paying jobs, and if you still want to experience DR you can fly there in the weekends for cheap.

I would suggest you look for a teaching job through International Schools Services

https://www.iss.edu/education-careers/teaching-overseas

It might be difficult to get into their fairs for this year but you can start to network now. Using this service will help you to find a good paying job.

Unless you are moving to the DR for other reasons you should keep your mind open about jobs in other countries and this organization can be the way to fulfill your dreams of teaching overseas.

good luck

By your post it shows you haven't been to la "isla nena" in a while...

If you think the job offers are bad in the US, don't even ask in PR!
It has the highest lost of jobs and unemployment rates of all states and US held territories in the Union...


If you think I'm joking:

Unemployment on the island sky high!

[h=3]One in four is unemployed in Comerio.

  • [*=center]

[h=3]This is reflected in the unemployment rates in the central municipality, which is the one that has the unfortunate record of 25 percent of people who have failed to get a job.
The reasons? Layoffs in government offices and the closure of regional government, as mayor, Joseph A.Santiago pointed out.

"Other towns in the central area are also mired in crisis.Ciales, Orocovis, Maricao and Adjuntas, are some of the mountain towns with unemployment rates that exceed 20 percent."

The southern part of Puerto Rico, meanwhile, is the hardest hit by rising unemployment facing the country and, with the exception of Ponce, all municipalities that comprise it suffer unemployment rates that exceed the island's official rate. Most have about 20 percent of its workers unemployed.
