EMPLOYMENT IN CHILE
English speakers and international expats seeking employment opportunities in Chile have a wide variety of options to chooose from. Whether teaching English, working at a winery, guiding tours, providing Internet services, producing films, advertising or working to promote environmental and human rights causes, there are many possibilities for employment in Chile.
Chilean employers will request a CV or curriculum vitae. The CV is simply a resume that lists your work experience relevant to the position. Employers seeking English speakers sometimes advertise positions in English, but they will still refer to your resume as a CV.
Job offerings appear in the empleos se ofrecen section of classified listings. Job applicants commonly offer their services to prospective employers under the heading empleos se buscan.
El Mercurio is the only daily that offers an extensive listing of help wanted ads. The newspaper is on sale at virtually any newsstand in Santiago. It costs 300 pesos (US$0.50) Monday through Saturday and 500 pesos (US$0.85) on Sunday. Job listings appear in the 1300 section "Empleos" of section B "Economia y Negocios." The paper has online listings as well.
El Rastro is a bi-weekly publication of classified ads. You can find it at many newsstand for 700 pesos (approximately US$1.15). There are often more people asking for jobs than offering and there is a shortage of professional jobs, but it is still worth a look. See the Mercado Laboral section for job listings. There are a number of similar publications, like Anuntis and Ene Avisos.
There are also on-line classified ads and job searches. Some of them are offered Santiago's local newspapers and classified publications. On some of these sites, you can search jobs according to position and location, as well as post a resume.
The most extensive on-line listings are both on El Mercurio's Emol.com site. The first is El Merucrio's on-line classifieds (avisos económicos), which offer many listings and an extensive search engine. Be prepared, however, to search through a lot of "[spam word detected]" ads.
Farox.com is also part of emol.com. Farox.com has fewer listings, but is more dedicated to real jobs. The search engine is more complex, so it is easier to find a specific profession.
