What work can I do in Indonesia?

[millfletcher]

By the end of this year, more likely in October, we will be in Indonesia. My husband has a job offer in Jakarta and his offer comes with bringing his family there to live with him. Of course, that would be the best for everyone but the problem is that would mean i had to stop working. It is actually fine with me but I do not want to be a plain housewife, I want to continue working there.

I am a nurse, based on what I heard, nurses are not so in demand in the country. I am willing to do just anything possible. What work can I do there? I already checked on Axis Capital Group at www.axishcl.com/?ui=jobs but nothing seems to be working.

There are many secretarial jobs that is hiring now I am currently looking for a job abroad and I target Indonesia as well. You said you are willing to do just anything; a secretarial job is not so bad.

What about teaching English?

I don't suppose you have any trips to Indonesia every now and then? If so, make researches instead - go to user groups and the like networks as much as you can. You will learn more before moving and living there for good.

Have a look into NGOs that could use your healthcare skills? They will prioritise local staff but perhaps some consultancy or volunteering to see what is around?

Jon hunting is all depends you resume and skills on the seeking part, since you have a degree it will be easier. Good luck on your new phase in life.

I am in Malaysia. Our school, and most international schools, have a full time nurse. I would definitely look at this option - pay is likely to be expat pay not local pay.

I suggest you learn Bahasa, it will help you on finding job there in no time. You still have time to do so.

You can try and visit axis human capital group, you will find many career advice there especially being an expat in Jakarta. Best of luck to you and your family.

VSO?
