What are the dos and don'ts of finding a job in Dominican Republic?

Here:
Jobs are hard to find

Pay is very very very low

Spanish is a must for many jobs

AND you need your RESIDENCY and CEDULA to work here legally.

If you need to "make a living" and "need to work to survive" this is probably not the place for you and family

If you have skills there are a few companies that hire expats, those with hospitality experience may find something with a resort, technical skills can be of help with mining companies, Barrick or BHP. Either way these companies will do all the residency for you. I would start on Linkdin or something on the web, otherwise you will be looking at local wages which aren't very good unless you REALLY like rice and beans.

Very very few companies do the residency for you!!! They may offer a work visa sponsorship  but the hardpart is up to you.

Almost no one sponsors these days it is arduous and expensive.

Bob is correct you must have residencia and cedula. Once you apply for residencia you can be hired based on your file number.

Jobs are hard to find. Spanish is mandatory unless you are am english teacher.

CV or resume ate different then we are used to and contain ridiculous.amounts of personal info - marital state, birthday, photo etc.  Ads can say must be age 20 to 35 and male for example!!!

You get jobs here by networking and knowing people on the inside!

Who would come here seeking employment ??

Lots and lots do actually!
