Are you planning to move to Cyprus? You might have tons of questions in your mind from language to application process. If yes, then it’s time to get answers to some frequently asked questions about working in Cyprus.

Many Adventurers go there as they can explore beautiful places there while making a good living. Tourism and Hotel industry contributes more to Country's GDP than other industries. Therefore, you can easily find a job in this industry with tons of job vacancies. Want to know more about working in Cyprus? Let's get started.

1. What Language Do You Need to Learn?

Whether you are moving to Cyprus from the UK or USA, you don't have to learn any language as English is a widely accepted language. However, if you want to increase your chances of getting a job please learn Greek.

2. Can You Teach English as a Second Language?

You can teach English to locals and make money through private tuition. Teaching English as a second language is a job with limited vacancies. Tons of others are also competing for it. So, becoming an English teacher in Cyprus won't be an easy job. If you plan to knock at the door of private international schools, try having 2-years teaching experience on your resume. Other two requirements to meet for this job are a Bachelor's degree and a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) qualification.Every week you need to work for 20-30 hours.

3. Are There any Summer Jobs in Cyprus?

Yes, there are plenty of jobs you can get in Tourism sector that bloom throughout the year. It won't be very tricky for you to find casual and season job in this sector. If you go there during low season, you need to work at least five days a week. However, peak seasons require you to work nonstop and earn good money from multiple part-time jobs in bars, hotels, cafes, and restaurants.  If you like to work in farms then fruit picking is another casual job available in Cyprus.

4. What Industries Offer Great Jobs after Tourism?

Everyone knows that Tourism is the biggest sector in Cyprus but the question is what other industries offer great jobs in Cyprus. So, I would like to mention some industries where foreigners and locals should try their luck: real estate, service sector, shipping, textile, food and beverages processing.

5. Can You Work at Clubs/Bars/Discos as Bartender or DJ?

These jobs require no additional certification since this kind of work does not need much experience and knowledge (unlike medical or legal professions), and you don't even need to speak Greek in most cases (although it would be an advantage.) 

The main point that makes these jobs extremely popular among foreigners in Cyprus is that they give foreigners opportunities to socialize with locals and improve their language skills through communication. And because clubs in Cyprus are busy during weekends (especially on Friday and Saturday), you can also make good money during the weekend while enjoying your time off during other days.

6. How Can I Get a Job in Cyprus?

Your qualifications and talent matter in Cyprus but be ready to face a huge competition with locals. Do you want to know about an easy and shortcut method? Well, build a network in Cyprus before leaving your home country. It means having some contacts in that country before setting your foot there. In that scenario, rely heavily on LinkedIn and build some good contacts.

Have you failed to secure some great contacts? Well, in that case you should be ready to encounter the Public Employment Office. And have your passion for jobs intact there. 

7. What is Application Procedure?

The Cyprus application process is exactly like the UK application. You will send your resume alongside a cover letter. You can write a letter in English. But it's good to send a resume in both English and Greek Languages. You should keep in mind that Cypriot companies accept resumes throughout the years. So, there is no special time or season. Keep sending them resumes, which recruiters store in their database for later use.
