Question
I graduated last month with a BBA in Computer Information Systems. I am very much interested in working in Bermuda after having vacationed there four times last year. How difficult is it to get a job there?


Answer
Hi Trish,

I am forwarding a website for you to check out.  Bermuda Online.  www.bermuda-online.org

You will find links to Computer commerce and Employment Agencies like Independant Consulting Solutions.

I cannot speak of the difficulty in becomming employed on the island.  However, I do know that all openings are legally first held for Bermudans.  If they cannot be filled then they are somehow allowed to go outside to staff.

Go Google.com and search Working in Bermuda.  You will find several interesting sites like www.deloitte.bm/qa.htm

Also to answer the how to go about receiving a work permit and limitations go to the Bermuda Immigration Department website.  You will find several interesting and applicable links.  www.immigration.bdagov.bm

Good luck to you.  And if you decide to job in Bermuda please let me know so I can visit you when I am on vacation.

Happy planning!
Michael
