Ready to Leave NYC!!!!

HoffaCorleon · #1 08-17-2009, 01:15 PM

I am looking to work in the DR. I am fed up with the rat race of NYC. I have been in the Bar/Restaurant/Nightclub business for 10 years. I am willing to learn a new trade or use my expertise in my field. I have excellent customer srvice skills and speak/read/write excellent english. My spanish is limited to kitchen spanish, although I am a quick learner and eager to master the language. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Resume and refrences are available upon request.
I have been to DR several times and it has always been on the southern coast. I have been immersed in the culture here in NYC and the Dominican people and culture is amazing. I would greatly appreciate anyones help that may have knowledge of contacts for a Bar/Restaurant manager that is a native english speaker. I would also be interested in learning about positions in call centers.

Please do a search on this topic in the forums. It has been covered many times.

The bottom line is that if you offer a skill set that is very unique and in high demand, you might be able to find a job here. Otherwise you stand to make very little money here.

You are willing to work for 200-500 pesos a day???? You better rethink what you are planning on doing.

One thing you might do is to ask the Dominicans who live near you why they are living in New York City and not back home in the DR. That should explain a lot to you.

I am going to get beat for this but here goes.........
PLEASE do not mix Dom-York culture with Dominican culture, I spent the summer in Washington Heights and couldn't wait to get the hell out of there and back to Santiago!! I have never heard the word N*gga so much in my whole life and I'm black...and if I hear one more 50 cent song with a reggaeton twist, I am going to jail for murder.............

Yeah.. I generally don't make too much of a habit of agreeing with Shalena here (LOL), but I'm definitely on the same page on this one.. I was in Washington Heights last week for the first time and it was quite a shock.. its quite a different culture to the DR!

Very serious post but it is FUNNY AS HELL. That is sooooo true!!! I slapped a little cousin who called me the N word while casually speaking with me. I know he meant no harm. It was like saying dude or whatever but I guess these kids don't know the true meaning. Uuuugggghhhhh our youths....
