Can someone tell me what if any differences there are between job interviews in the DR and the USA; Other than the language? I have 2 next month in Santiago.
I had a job interview in the Capital in May and the interviewer was an American, the company international.
He greeted me, gave me a two page multipal choice with 'what would I do in a situation like this?' kinda thing and an application form (in Spanish) attached to my resume.
He left me to complete both forms and said he would return. I waited, and waited, and waited in the heat of the afternoon...thank goodness I had my friend with me to keep me company.
I finally got tired of waiting as that sort of thing would never happen in Canada. Out of respect for a potential hire one should never be left to wait that long without the employer returning at some point to see if I had any questions. I looked at this as a lack of respect and not great practices for the company. But apparantly this is common practice in DR when it comes to job interviews. Good luck to you, and all the best.

Trainman, dress to impress, very important.
Do you have your cedula/residency? You can't work without that.

That sounds like a chicken and the egg to me. Obviously I would start the process right away if hired. That would also give me the time I need to find a place to rent, move stuff down and so on.
