What is defined as temporary employment?

Employment in the Cayman Island

• I am a UK national seeking employment in the Cayman Islands? I currently possess credentials in the following sectors: computers and finance so initially focussing on employment in these areas but I am interested in other opportunities as well. Summary: Initially started researching the possibility of employment in the Caymans in April and came up with the following information but then lost my way and became employed with a financial organisation in the UK. During my search it was difficult to find organisations to apply to directly. Information all ready gathered: This informed me about having to obtain a work permit and having to apply through a Cayman employer. http://www.gov.ky/servlet/page?_pageid=107&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30&_mode=3#0 This is the only employment agency I found but didn?t have much success with them. http://www.brightstaff.ky/ I maybe wrong but just seemed a little unprofessional plus they were charging a subscription fee on a monthly basis. http://jobinthesun.com/jms/jspreview/search.cfm The only actual corporation I found with a direct application point for employment positions in Cayman was the following and again no luck. http://www.hsbc.ky/EMPLOPPS.HTM What I?m looking for is contact details of: -Organisations -Businesses -Employment Agencies That I can apply to for employment Plus information on (strategy) how to go about applying for employment in the Cayman Islands.

• Answer:

  Hi! Thanks for the question. First off, I am going to provide here two directory sites that provide contact information for different business types in the Caribbean. As one of the cited articles will later say, one conservative way to get a job is still to send your resumes to individual companies since the Cayman Islands do not have a very extensive Job Search site. Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce Business Directory http://www.wliinc2.com/cgi/foxweb.dll/wlx/dir/wlxcatelist?cc=CICC Caribbean Yellow Pages http://www.yellowpages-caribbean.com/Countries/Cayman/index.cfm Our third resource only has links to the individual website. The beauty of this is that you can study the company first before forwarding your application.

Instead of looking for jobs that are already available and being advertised, usually the best thing to do would be to just write to companies with your resume that deal with the area of work you specialise in.? ?Job Search? http://experts.about.com/q/180/3826330.htm You?re best bet still are the employment agencies listed above.
