Find a Caribbean Job

November has arrived, geting chilly? Want to know how to stay warm all the time and find yourself a Caribbean job?

I have worked in the Caribbean a few times, the longest for 4 years, on the little known Island of Curacao. My brother just finished working for a bank on the more well known island of Grand Cayman.

Getting a Caribbean Job is attainable for people who put in the time and effort - and it does take more effort than finding a job locally, however once you've experienced Caribbean life you will never forget it, trust me!

I've put together a 4-step program for Caribbean job seekers. Learn how to find your Caribbean Job now!

Just imagine - warm sunny blue skies, blue water every day, and a Caribbean Job! An opportunity to get out of your current situation and really do something different and exciting.

Single or married, it doesn't matter. Many employers will pay your way down and cover housing and/or living expenses. Hey, reality check - you DO have to work, but just think about where you would be living!

If you've thought about working somewhere new and different, read on!

Just where is the Caribbean? 

It's always helpful to know where that Caribbean Job is located. The Caribbean region is situated between North and South America, in what is often described as an Oceanic Tropical climate.

Click on the Caribbean Map for details. (this will take you to another site)
Caribbean Map

Within the Caribbean are all the islands you've heard about; Cayman, British Virgin Islands, Turks and Caicos, Bermuda, Bahamas, Cuba, Dominican Republic, plus hundreds more you probably have not.

Average temperatures there are around 30 degrees Celsius or between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit and water temperatures average around 27 Celsius or 80 Fahrenheit.

If you like it warm and sunny, this is the place! Find out more Caribbean weather information at Caribbean Weather

Is there a Caribbean Job for me? 

There are essentially two types of Caribbean jobs:

  • Tourism/Hospitality - these are short-term, seasonal jobs where you can have some fun and work at a hotel, beach club, dive shop, or other tourism type position. Examples of these kinds of jobs would be waitress, spa position, dive instructor, tour coordinator. These types of Caribbean jobs usually appeal to a younger crowd.


  • Skilled - these are longer term contracts that utilize your deep skill (IT, Law, Insurance, Banking, etc) to supplement a skill that does not readily exist on the islands. Make great money, work hard, and have a good time! Examples of these types of jobs would be Lawyer, Accountant, IT Support, Software Developer, Sales Manager, or other skilled trade. These types of Caribbean Jobs will appeal to job seekers that have established a career or trade.


  • Fun Caribbean summer job - or longer-term contract opportunity? You decide, then begin your search for your ideal Caribbean Job.

    Caribbean Job links 

    There's a number of websites out there that purport to have Caribbean Job links. What you'll find is that many are out of date and some have no job postings at all. Wouldn't it be helpful to have someone who has reviewed the available sites and tells you the best ones?
    Well I have done that for you and rather than list them again here, you can see that list of Caribbean Job Sites at Foreverwarm Jobs. This will save you time trying to find the best sites.

    Happy hunting!

    You're very fortunate... Curacao is beautiful. I've visited 6 Caribbean islands. Martinique was great because people were gracious and understood my mangled French! I would love to go back. Blessed by a Squid Angel.

    in reply to catalystmarketers The Caribbean community is still a difficult segment to market to online. Many businesses are just beginning to think about the Internet and how to use it. Even email is not mainstream yet but getting more so all the time. You would have to travel there and promote this in person, in my view. That being said, maybe this is the time to get in there while they are in the beginning stages.
    Good luck!

    Great lens. Very helpful. I've been wanting to buy island property for a few years now. I run a social media marketing business. I can probably keep my customers from the U.S. while living in the Caribbean, but I was wondering if you think there are marketing opportunities for local Caribbean businesses. I help small businesses use online tools, like Squidoo, blogs, Twitter, etc. to reach more people, build relationships and drive growth. Let me know your thoughts if you have some time. Thanks again for the lens. It's great.
