Hi guys,

I just wanted some info on some job opportunities in Bermuda. I did a search online a while back, and just noticed professional type jobs.

I'm 22, I work customer service for a bank and am very interested in International Finance. I am certified in Canada to buy/sell reg/non reg investments, but have yet to start university for any sort of a degree.

What does it take to get a job in Bermuda?

Thanks guys,


Gavin

Gavin,

You can start your search here: www.bermudajobs.com.
Normally a company interested in hiring you will fly you down, this is two-pronged; 1) to have a look for yourself and determine if you'll "fit" down here 2) to interview you.
I've know people to relocate thier lives and move here, then realize that one month later they can't stand it. On the other hand I've known ex-pats that have lived here for 20+ years. It really boils down to personal preference as the island is only 21 sq. miles (65,000 people) and tends to "close in" on you.

As your luck would have it, insurance, accounting and finance (banking) are huge businesses here. You don't need a degree, but it does make you more attractive. keeping in mind that locals have first pick of jobs here (if qualified).

Let me know if I can help out, cheers.

P.S. A head-hunter (www.squiresresources.com) found me through monster.ca if you wanted to know.

Hi!

We are considering relocating to Bermuda from Canada.
I am a teacher and my husband is in Construction.
How are the job opportunities for these careers?

Where can I find some info to start applying?

Thanks!

Hi C.,

As I mentioned in my earlier post, either www.bermudajobs.com, or a recruitment agency will be your best bet for sponsorship in a teaching position re-location.
For construction, you may want to view either www.theroyalgazette.com (classified section), or I've heard that www.bermudasucks.com sometimes posts job ads (I can't confirm though).
Here's a site that I consulted on www.canadians.bm, check out the 'Useful Links' section.

Let me know if you need anything else.
W.
