Question

Where can an American find a job in Venezuela?

Answer 1

You would have to go to Venezuela.

Answer 2

That's quite difficult. I know some American companies in Venezuela that bring trainers or simply employees to work there for a period of time and they of course pay in US dollars, but just any job? I don't know, you should be able to speak Spanish first, and to earn Venezuelan bolivars is not quite a good idea financially.

Answer 3

the american embassy

Answer 4

In Caracas try International Companies

english is an advantage for you

Answer 5

Your best bet if you don't know Spanish would be to teach English. You may get a job like that especially at the CVA  (Centro Venezolano Americano / Venezuelan American Center) http://www.cva.org.ve/main_english.htm But also in other places such as the British Council http://www.britishcouncil.org/es/venezue... or maybe even at many of the private schools across the country. Private English classes/tutoring is also an option as I'm sure many Venezuelans would prefer an American teacher.

(Here's a direct link to an internship at CVA http://www.cva.org.ve/internship.htm )

Other than teaching English, you could probably also find something either directly at the US Embassy in Caracas http://caracas.usembassy.gov/ or through them.

If you do know Spanish however, then you could get a job pretty much anywhere (except those that require a Venezuelan degree such as the ones in the field of Medicine, etc).

Answer 6

I would suggest contacting the Venezuelan Embassy. Go to http://www.embavenez-us.org/

They should be able to help you.
