I have seen many post of foreigners regarding how difficult is to get a job in Chile.
That may be right for English speaking people, but not to Spanish speakers from wherever they come.
The restriction is then not due to nationality or being a foreigner, but due to language skills.
The next surprise is that salaries are usually well below the expectation of an American citizen. Again, this is the usual, although many skilled professional get good salaries. The cost of living is cheaper than on many locations around the world, unless you want to live in upper classes neighborhoods.
However the great advantage of Chile to a foreigner is not in the labor market, but on the business market. You can create a company easily here and compete with locals with the same rules, and export elsewhere. However, the bureaucracy is much dense in Chile than in developed nations. You need to report taxes, social security and other thins, monthly to the State. Fines are heavy if you do not comply on time.
But if you are properly advised, you can run a business in Chile and start a new life.
My first suggestion is to start in a partnership with a local, so you don't pay the pioneer cost of starting by yourself. Or you can invest in somebody else business in a passive manner while you learn business regulations and about the market.
Chile is more a land to start a business than to get a job.
