Finding Computer/Engineering work in Bogota

Talk to me if you do! I have a skill with EXCEL and can automate it to REALLY do some nice tricks! If you know of a few jobs there, but ideally in Cartagena or Baranquilla, please tell me.

Both of us better know a bit of Spanish, but I am still dreaming big!

If you have a connection Unfortunately IT jobs like English jobs go to people with contacts
In government or the company that is hiring.
I know people here in Buca that have masters but the jobs
Go to people with high school and a contact in government.
My brother in law is the Mayor and you don’t get a
Job unless you do something for him.
Money ,gifts and so on
Sorry but that’s life in Colombia

Bingo, johnp123... we have a nephew with a degree in computer engineering and he has had tough sledding. If you are really interested best bet is to make contact with a US Company for posting in Colombia. Just a "bit" of Spanish will likely prevent being hired.

Good luck
