Searching for a job in Bogota

Anyone knows about a job offer in Bogota, let's say to start working next January? My boybriend is coming to Colombia from Switzerland next December and he's planning to stay sometime in Bogota (if he actually has the chance to earn an income). Skills in banking. Native german speaker but with very good english(perhaps a job in a language school?).
(Even if I'm working in his Spanish skills, we're not counting on that "almost non existent" Spanish--yet :)
So do anyone has INFO???

Why don't you look at job postings online and submit his resume the same as he would in Switzerland?

Job postings online... I've been searching those aswell.
I'm Dutch and do speak Spanish fairly well (family), as I think I do English and some basic German/French. I was in Bogotá this summer and can't stop dreaming of going back for a long-long period of time. But are there any good sites with jobs in Colombia? It's damn hard searching for _recent_ and accurate job postings online. Not every website has a vacancy-section or show how to submit a resume.
I do search on ElEmpleo (seems the most professional site), but it seems like they _all_ expect 3 years of working experience in the mentioned field, even for the most simple looking position. For now I'm finishing my studies, but how realistic is it to think that finding a job will succeed?

finding a job hello thur
yes your right, it's not easy to find a decent job. i guess you know that you can try to start to teach english or maybe even german (of you speak it like so many of you) or dutch. have you tried to contact the dutch embassy for adresses and connections? or try to find a ngo in holland, who works with international projects. it took me a year of struggling after being lucky and finding a good job. good luck! s
