I am wanting to move to the Islands within the next twelve months. I have never been and plan to make this a permanent arrangement. I am currently looking for any job I can get my hands on there. If anyone knows of any open positions, current job postings (new web sites) or someone with the resources to help me get started, please post or e-mail me. [email protected] Thank you!!!!

Not many employers want to bother with anyone who isn't here in person already. Too many never show up or change their mind about coming. If you've never been here, it would be wise to make a pre-move visit rather than spend a lot of money & possibly hate it.

"I am wanting to move to the Islands within the next twelve months. I have never been and plan to make this a permanent arrangement..."

It may be useful for you to know that the vast majority of people who move here with the intention of living here long-term actually leave within a few months. A visit before you move is strongly recommended because most people find that life here isn't what they imagined it would be. Some people hoping to move here read this sort of warning as a local trying to deter potential new residents, but my intent is actually to try to help some people prevent a costly mistake by learning from the experiences of others. Yes, everyone is different, but since so few who move here stay very long, there are obviously some concessions required to live here that most people find themselves unwilling to make.
