New members of the Indonesia forum, introduce yourselves here - 2018

hi all, i work in rasuna,, just come and chit chat,, maybe a cup of coffee will be great..

Hi Marry, thank u for sharing your story. I am planning to move to Jakarta and looking for a job urgently. Could please help me if you have any in your organization. Thanks

Hi all!

New here. Currently looking at the possibility of moving to Bali (no concrete plans so far) from Malaysia. Looking at work and housing options. I've got ten years of experience in account management and sales, but i have a feeling that's not going to be very relevant on the island? Apart from that I also do freelance video filming/photography and art direction work ... I wonder if there is a market for that sort of work at all over there? Any tips would be super helpful, thanks!

Hi everyone,

Its really nice to chat here with all of you, your sharing is very informative and supportive , I am married from beautiful Indonesian lady and visited Indonesia several times , next time will be in June 2018 and my aim is to make an effort to look for friends who have been their and can give some tips of how to utilize my experience over their by working or even start small business ( nothing in my mind about the type of business i can do), but I am sure that your insights will lead to success.

Thanks
Mamdouh

Market - Very probably.
Ability to get a work permit when there are so many local companies in the game - debatable.

OLX or other sites are likely to produce results.
Also google 'rumah disewa <area>

Hi, and welcome to the forum.
Don't worry about the odd silly question, we all have to learn the ropes.

I'm Tom (*1948) from Germany where I worked as a high-school art-teacher. I married a Minahasa woman in 1975 and moved to her birth-place on North Sulawesi in 2000. There I built a house and a jungle - and lost my wife to the internet. Since 2017 I'm living as a hermit and Indonesian citizen with some goats in my jungle.

Ah, art.
Do you display your stuff in Jakarta, Bazaar art, that sort of thing?

Hi Fred!
Jakarta is very far away and here - well, there are some cultural differences. So I prefer selling rice and goats and display my art only in the internet:

Sounds fair ... and a very stress free life

The 15 years won't hurt your case but you could have problems with work permits as the local broadcast industry has too many Indonesians wanting to break into it.
There used to be an issue finding good English speakers but the new generation of graduates is changing all that, many coming from English speaking schools.
I suppose your best bet is trying all the English language stations and seeing what happens.
Another option could be foreign stations with Indonesian offices.

Thank you so much for your suggestion and the information you have provided.
I will surely try my luck at different fields, I know it's gonna be difficult, but I have to give it a try.
Thank you so much again.

A request if anybody can help, it will be truly grateful. What would be the other feilds where I can try for, I'm good in English as I've done my entire education in English and coming from a Convent background.

Lovely to meet you.
As for business, adverts are not allowed on the open forums so perhaps I could encourage you to post free of charge in "Jobs" at the top of this page.

H Fred! Still figuring out whats going on in here. Will surely post on in “jobs” section. Thanks so much for your help!
