I feel the beach area is more expensive for a gringo. Jobs are hard to find. But if you speak English
and Spanish wow opens doors. It depends what you want to do? If you have 2 languages then
apply at the airport in Cuenca, Ecuador. It's a numbers game you can rent 1 bedroom places is in Ecuador
You see them in Facebook rentals in section Market Place. Rental small 1 bedroom or studio. In
unfurnish studio no appliances so i would think you need a studio furnished $250.00 one Bath.
People have cleaning ladies cash $25.00 9:00 - 3:00. You can advertise for cleaning jobs in
the Gringo Post no charge. If you need furniture a chair anything always looks in Gringo Post
items for sale used. Read Gringo Post and learn the area. I think I say some jobs in that.
If you speak two languages go to ambassey looking for a job if you have papers. Remember if
you come on a travel visa you can only stay 3 months 90 days to get a Cedula which is like a Social Security CArd. Every time you do anything they ask for the Cedula have it coated with plastic.
It is very important to you and once you get it people will try and take it so be sure to hide it on you.
Read all info in Gringo Post also Cheaprentalsinecuador her name is Mary Wing An inexpensive
rental near a bus line/Tram so you can get around. If you get a job you will need a Cedula.
You must come with pictures of yourself like for a passport but it will be for the Cedula. Read up
to date info about Cedula's. How you get them and what you need $ pictures and bring all important
papers with you birth certificate, passport, cash, if married marriage certificate if divorce papers with
docket # on papers. If you graduated from school bring certificates important for the type of job. The birth certificate must be notarized in the state you were born. It takes a while
to get the papers. They stamp on the birth certificate a date it matters you have to use it before the
date runs out or get another one. All suggestions. Never put your phone down on a counter or be using it while people are around its easy its taken by a runner. Do not wear expensive jewelry because
they do take it. I don't even wear my wedding ring. ha. I have never seen anyone's stuff taken but
I hear stories. I have had nothing taken. I have friends who put down their camera and gone!!!!!
One added point the can't read writing so print clearly on applications etc. Do not dress showy be
conservative for job. Careful with flirting some women are very jealous over their men. Be friendly
but don't tell too much info to strangers.
