LOL NomadLawer,
Expect heavy competition from locals, some are well educated and most speak both languages, so you are likely to be at a disadvantage. Be prepared to answer questions about what you can aport and why you should be the one selected. Be prepared for low pay even the mayors get low pay.

IF, you get a job, be prepared to do a 3 person job for a one person pay. Unless you work for the government.
