Will I be able to find a job in Jakarta?

Answer this Question

When we asked people about industries and career opportunities in Jakarta, they reponded...

"Oil, Gas, Mining, IT, Natural Resources. Indonesia is a BIG country and a very RICH country, that is managed very poorly. Most people come here either because they were transferred here by their companies or because they came here under contract. People either hate the place and cannot wait to leave, or fall in love with the place and the people and stay for extended periods," remarked another expat in Jakarta, Indonesia.

"Foreigners often have jobs in Jakarta in a variety of industries, such as teaching, hospitality, finance, engineering, and IT. Many foreigners also work in the service industry, such as restaurants, hotels, and retail stores. Additionally, there are many opportunities for foreigners to work in the medical field, including as doctors, nurses, and medical technicians. Other popular jobs for foreigners in Jakarta include marketing, sales, and business development," said a member in Jakarta, Indonesia.
