I'm actually living in Argentina and it's really hard to find a job. And i mean it. Bt if you have no choice I'd recommend you to look up in the "clasificados" of Argentinian newspappers. Depending in the city where you go. Look up for a relevant newspapper and go to it's "clasificados" section.

Hello planetsupernova and thanks for the share!

Is there much hiring in the Computer technology fields in Argentina?

Do web developping, cloud computing provide jobs there?

Welcome on board and Thanks again

I'd say the computer technology fields is one of the fields that is constantly hiring people. But I'd recommend to you to look up in webs like forosdelweb.com , or forobeta.com . I mean sites that hire people through the web.

Good luck!

Have you or your husband looked here:

Unfortunately I think the reality is, nothing beats "boots on the ground" when looking for a job. However if your husband has a skill in high demand and speaks Spanish the odds are better.
