Cuenca, Ecuador
Will I be able to find a job in Cuenca?
When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Cuenca, they reponded...
"Unlike Quito and Guayaquil which has many multi-national companies, jobs here are fairly non-existent, however, entrepreneurial opportunities abound. Many people are retired, however, once you have a Permanent Residency Visa...no matter which type you get...you can open a company to do any number of things. People here have restaurants, export business, real estate businesses, retail shops, etc. It's very simple to open a business here once you have a cedula," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Cuenca, Ecuador.
"Foreigners often find employment in the service industry in Cuenca, working as English teachers, waiters and waitresses, bartenders, tour guides, hotel staff, and translators. Other foreign nationals also run their own businesses such as cafes, restaurants, and shops. Those with specialized skills may also find employment in healthcare or technology-related positions," commented one expat who made the move to Cuenca, Ecuador, Ecuador.
