you definitely arent getting anything like the job you have right now-or the salary i dont think. Think about it very well.

[Greek goddess]

Is up to the degree or the professional qualifications you have.
As there are thousands of accountants on the island you need them in order to get a job.

If you speak Greek it will be something positive. If you don't it will be harder.

Yes true, i want to move to cyprus but the whole employment era, workers dont get hardly any money for how hard they work!

You’d have a better chance of getting a job anywhere if you improved your typing, spelling and grammar skills.

Typical grump - we can't all be perfect like you. Let people have their dream!

[cyprusgrump]

I’m not perfect but basic computer skills (like turning off Caps Lock, capitalising ‘I’ and checking spelling) are important for job hunters.

I used to run a business in the UK with 35 employees – the number of CV’s that where dumped in the ‘laugh and tear up’ file because of a basic inability to communicate using the written word was astonishing.

The truth is that I can’t spell to save my life – I would never think of writing a letter (or posting on a forum) without getting a computer to check the content for me.

I can only agree Grump. As an Office Manager, one would expect that one could at least type! I have worked as an Office Manager and couldn't hope to get such a job in Paphos, which is where I will be living as of July this year. This being because my experience was short-lived, and some years ago now. Basic communication skills (in whichever language) is pretty essential for most employers.
