hi all just came back from cyprus last week and i have sorted myself a job as a scuba diving instructor the wages are good enough to live on i am moving out in April and renting a 2 bed apartment in paralimni my wife and 2 young children are moving out in august and going into Cypriot school.
The only thing we are worrying about is surviving through the winter is there many jobs to help us see through the winter..

Hi beders

As as others will tell you, wages are very low here and much of the tourism (hotels/retsauarnts etc) close down in the east of the island, meaning here are many seasonal workers looking for jobs and will be prepared to work for MINIMAL wages. Be very sure before you commit.

We understand that the wages are not great and to tell the truth we are not bothered as long as we can earn anought to pay the rent and feed the family we would be happy.

beders I am sure that if you dont mind the low wages and all you will find something. You just need to be persistent.

Only Bludger's do not find work!

If you are willing to start from anywhere and work your way up, i can assure you, you have no problems.


An advice i would have given you was to perhaps plan to be there early in spring so you can capitalize on summer opportunities

[beders1]

i am currently leaving here for cyprus mid april as i have already secured for in a dive center for the summer season wages are very reasonable as i mentioned its only the winter im worried about.

It will not be easy to find a good job in winter. If somebody will hire you as a salesman for example he will want you for the whole year not just for winter.
