Where can I get a job in Costa Rica?

I'd be careful with the reply above. In CR it's virtually impossible to get legally work, unless you are a Costa Rican.

"If you are highly skilled in an area where that job cannot be filled by a Costa Rican, the employer can apply for a work permit for one year. This is very difficult to get. Costa Rica is not a third world country. There is a large pool of highly literate and well trained people to fill nearly every job category.

In order to work here, you must either be a citizen of Costa Rica or have legal Permanent Residency. With any other residency (rentista, pensionado, etc), you CAN own a business but you can not work in that business. You must hire Costa Rican labor and your responsibility must be limited to management of your business. No labor can be done by you that could be done by a Tico.

Finally, plan to earn about 10 to 15% of what you are earning now for the same job. If you are earning $100,000, you will maybe make $15,0000 here. Example: Journeyman auto mechanic making $90,000 in the USA will make maybe $15,000 here. Almost all jobs will require fluent (not tourist) Spanish."
