Default Re: Barbados-how to find a job?

unless you are Barbadian, it may not be worth trying.

finding jobs in hotels should be as easy as contacting the hotels directly and sending in your resume etc. (doesn't mean you will get it, but that's one way of going about it). However, if you are not from Barbados or have Barbados Citizenship or Residency, you would have to get a work permit, which would have to be applied for by the hotel. Usually a work permit is granted for jobs that are not easily done by Barbadians (or where there are specific qualifications that no barbadian is able to fill).

So.. it's not as easy as just applying, unless you are already have the right to work here.
