Hello everybody! I'm new to the blog and I'd like to have a few info on living and finding a job in Maldives, if anyone can help. I currently still haven't a job but I am exploring the possibility of relocating there for some time as my girlfriend has been offered a 12 months contract on Mal茅. The question is: how easy is to get a job in Mal茅 and the surrounding islands? I'd like if possible to avoid the tourist industry (hotels, resorts etc as I have been working long time as a waiter and I'd like to change a bit and make use of my degree) even if I understand they are the main possibility; I have a degree in Translation/Interpreting and I speak fluently English/French/Italian, also I am working at present as a check-in assistant in an Airport, so I was considering the possibility of applying also in Mal茅's airport for the same position. Do anyone that has been living there for some time know if I have good chances of getting a job there? Any advice/help/feedback will be mostly appreciated. Thanks.

P.S: Is social life really an issue there? Absolutely no activities going on?

Hi Loxton,
Yes I am still looking for a Job, I am Italian and I'm currently working in Florence Airport (Tuscany) as a check-in operator. I will be in Italy still for a couple of months, as I have a contract here. Generally I'd say I will start looking from early December. I did my studies in Dublin,Ireland, where I obtained a BA in translation and Interpreting. I also speak fluently French as I have lived in France for a year and a half. I have an extensive experience in the catering field but, as I said in my earlier post, I'd rather find something different, also to make use of my degree. Mal茅's airport could be one of them, but I still don't know what are the possibilities on site.
Have you got any suggestions? Any help would be mostly appreciated.
Thanks.
