Life and Work in Libya

Hello,

For the past couple of years I have worked as a civilian contractor in Afghanistan.  I enjoy the expat lifestyle but it looks like I will not renew next year, so I am thinking of other places. 

It's difficult to find online postings of jobs in Libya, which is to be expected given the transitional nature of the government, but are there expat jobs to be had for people who are already there?  I have skills in project management and environmental/ urban planning.  I don't speak French or Arabic... just English.  I've never worked for a petrochemical company.

What's day-to-day life like currently? 

Sounds like visa requirements are in a state of flux.  The U.S. embassy has information that's wildly out of date.  Is it realistic to assume I could get a visa to visit the country for a couple of months, look for work in that time, and if I found an employer who was hiring, I might be able to get a work visa?  Or would it be better to find employment before going to Libya?

Thanks.

Jimmy
