My husband and I are seriously considering relocating to Costa Rica and I am wondering if anyone has suggestions on websites or sources I can use to search for employment. My husband works in construction, in the trades, and I have a background in construction project management and am well educated.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi Patti- If you are not a Costa Rican or have the proper papers, it'll be tough to work legally in CR. Take a look at this forum for more information.

Trying to get there

Hi, i'm hoping someone out ther may have some information regarding employment for my wife..We are moving to Costa Rica in the next year and building our dream home in Esterillos on the central pacific coast.  We understand the part of Costa Rican law regarding working and taking away jobs that a qualified Costa Rican can do but my wife is a surgical Physician assistant and they do not have PA'S in Costa Rica. She has a Masters Degree in Hospital Administration  and  speaks Spanish fluently, she is of Colombian decent, both her parents and all 5 of her siblings were born in Colombia and spanish was the spoken language in their home and when we vacation in CR the people often mistake her for a native Costa Rican.  Does anyone have any idea how we should go about finding out if there are jobs available  for her in CR?  Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Any Doctors, nurses or hospital administrators out there who can help us?  geminigio@optonline.net or geminiartie@yahoo.com

Warm Regards,
