*I recently relocated to The Dominican Republic to live and start a family
with the love of my life, However I am finding it very hard to find work.
I speak a small amount of spanish, but I am proficient in English. I have
experience in multiple areas of customer service. I was in Banking for 6
years. However I am not limited to this type of work. Any suggestions on
how I can be successful on my journey?

Warmest Regards
Lori K.

It's not easy, as everyone will tell you.

What part of the country are you in?

Do you have Dominican Residency? I is not legal to work here without it.
You don't speak Spanish fluently. Makes it harder.

Where are you living?

How far away is home in case you need to return?

When you say that you are "proficient in English", does that mean that English is not your native tongue???
Speaking Russian, Italian, french, can help get a job in the tourist industry here.
What does your husband do????
If you want to start a family you may not be able to do much work yourself.
Good luck, and welcome to the DR, & to "DR1"!!!!!!

here is my thinking on this; if you need to go and find work, that tells me that you are not well heeled. it also tells me that Mr Lover Lover isn't a guy with too much paper, either. so, let's see how this works if you don't get a job, soon, and he has to be footing all the bills. at least you can tell him that it is a downpayment on the visa.

Hi! You should look up Academia Europea. They often have adds on the newspaper offering language teaching positions. The adds say they provide teaching training and free Spanish classes.

If you english is fluent, for sure you can get a job in a Call Center Lori, they love to hire foreigners that their first language is english before pick up a Dominican, I know some that actually are working in Santo Domingo in Call Center area.

Call center might be a good start, depending on where she is located in DR

I KNOW that "Senor RIGHT" has already started a "Family", and most likely more than one!
Probably a "SOCK".
Just post, and let us do the entertaining!
