Hi!

The recruiting company that I work for is opening up an office in Costa Rica (www.talentfusion.com). We've just started the project and we should be up and running by the Holiday season in December. We're leaning towards an office in Liberia.

Any advice/helful info/expats looking for jobs, please email me. We will definately be needing people fluent in English. I also have some questions that might seem silly to someone that lives there, but being a foreigner, you might be able to help me out. If your interested in a job, or know someone who might or maybe you might have some tidbits of info...send me an email. I'd love to "chat"

Pura Vida!

Octavia

Octavia,

My boyfriend and I are in the process of buying a home here in Costa Rica. We both live in the United States but his family many of them are here, and I have been here about 7 times so far. Please let me know what type of help your company is looking for as I am looking for a job in Costa Rica which will allow mw to make the final step in moving here for good.

Both of us speak fluent English and my boyfriend speaks both English-Spanish.

Good luck on your business and I hope to hear from you soon,

Pura Vida,

I have worked as an executive director for a number of non-profit organizations, including conservation/wildlife. This provides me with a wealth of skills in relating to all sorts of people and in planning and implementing goals and objectives. If this is of interest to you please feel free to contact me. Don

Octavia - why Liberia? Man thats way out. You should centralize in San Jose and use the phone. Mike

I have several expats that are looking to work here in Costa Rica, let me know what you are looking for and I will send some people your way.

It would be a good idea to open an office in San José and a second office in the future in Liberia.

I am seriously considering moving my company down to Costa Rica.

I will leave part of the business here in the South East and

part of the business in Costa Rica. If you are interested in buying a small portion of my company so you can legally live in Costa Rica, and have a financial background, please contact me. 2008 we had sales of $700, 000 and growing, even in this bad economic environment. I am looking for around $200, 000. The reason we need additional financing: to set up an office in Costa Rica

with a good internet connection and additional working capital

for work in process. Only contact me if you are interested, post

your email address on this blog and I will contact you.

Hello Octavia,

I´m interested in learning more about the jobs that will be offered with Talent Fusion for this upcoming December. I´m currently living in Honduras doing business development work but have plans to relocate to Costa Rica.

I have been to Costa Rica numerous times, and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. No question is too silly, and I´m sure I have asked the same ones at one point.

I look forward to hearing from you. Good luck.

Saludos,

Theresa

I just returned from a business trip from San Jose, CR. I found the environment fascinating. I would be more than interested in hearing about information based on your requirements for workers. I am currently in the financial sector, and a recent graduate from Barry University in Miami, F.L. I have worked within a plethora of financial and computer based operations that range from gas and oil investment retail sales to a futures/currency analyst and trader. I speak several languages, unfortunately not Spanish, but living in Miami and from my Costa Rican trip it would take me no more than 6 months to pick it up if necessary. I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you for your time

"Holy Crap, Take my Money Please"

Dear Octavia,

I speak English and Ancient Latin, have beaucoup bucks of money coming out of my ears and am dumb as a box of rocks. Can I work for you if I pay you plenty? I want to pay at least $200, 000 to find out who I am, and what I am doing.

If I lose all the money, no problem, it is a learning experience, no? Take me, I'm yours por favor... Randito
