I am begining to help a Dominican friend search for a good job where she can use her Spanish/English skills. Primarily we will be looking in the Santiago area, but other cities are possible too. She currently lives and teaches at the English Institute I direct and has perfected her English here. She is fluent in Eng/Spn, speaks some French and is currently studying more, and has her degree from a private high school.
She has done some work as a translator for medical teams, in the school setting, in the church setting, and has lots of experience working with Americans and Canadians. Other talents include volleyball, dance, hairbraiding ....which may apply more to a resort/hotel job.
Not looking for anything in the teaching field, but anything else is a possibility at this point.
Just looking to see if anyone on this board can be a resourse to me as I try to help get her out there on her own in the working world.
also ...an unpaid internship that has potential of leading to a job (in Santiago) could work too.
***disclaimer--I posted a similar thread back in December looking for some suggestions, but realized December was too early to start looking as she wasn't planning to move until May.
