....and I'm looking for some information. I know many of these questions have been asked again and again, so I'll avoid being overly repetitive with my inquiries.

First off, let me say, that I understand (somewhat) how the process works for getting a job over there. If a potential employer wants to hire you, first they must seek locally for someone to fill the spot, and if they don't, you could be offered the job and, I believe, the employer will take care of the work permit for you (at your own expense).

Okay, so with that out of the way...let me just say, that while I've got designs on starting a business down there in the future, to begin, I would just like to work at a resort.

So my question to you folks, who know and love Aruba, is: do resorts even hire foreigners, or are those jobs not so readily available? Does it help me any that I have a Dutch passport, and speak both English and Dutch? I plan to learn Papiamento when I'm on the island, but that will take some time.

Any and all info will be greatly appreciated,
