Daniela,
As I suspect you know, the apparel industry in DR has seen a major decline in recent years.
Six or seven years ago there were probably dozens of opportunities for you. Many foreigners were brought in to work & train people at very good salaries. At this point most DR companies have competent local talent filling the positions that still remain and both the companies and employees are fighting to hang on. Many more people are underemployed, unemployed, or moved on to other industries. Most North American companies are in the same position - with reductions in jobs there are many more qualified people than there are positions available.
I'm going to send you a private msg with at least one company in DR you can contact. Also, as you search, try to learn what companies are continuing to place production in DR - Liz Claiborne, GAP, Levi's, Hilfiger, or whoever. You might try their personnel dept's in NYC, San Francisco or wherever letting them know you're interested in a job. You might get lucky & find a position with a North American salary and a Dominican office. Again, though, as these companies have downsized their people hang on to existing jobs with a vengeance as there's not much place for them to go without moving completely out of the industry - or to China.
