I'm afraid it's as asqs342 suggests, ...''very difficult'' to get any start in civvey street . I would imagine it will take a lot of leg work trying to find any salaried work!! You will also need to register yourself as ''Resident'' and have your Quals attested. ...Not a problem for UK electricians, more of a formality you must go through. Both take a day each on average, but can take much longer, if you have a lazy good for nothing jobs-worth dealing with you!! lol!!
Most Brit's in Cyprus are self employed or start small companies, many going into the property maintenance / rental business. But like most area's of Europe, right now times are hard and getting harder for them. The profitable goods years are over, and doubt if they will return anytime soon.
The biggest thing in Cyprus is WHO you know, find someone with influence and doors just seem to open wide. You need to also realise right from the start, Cyp's are very shrood where money is concerned, they are NOT country yodels!! They will strip you of cash with a bright smile on their face every time!! ...lol!!
Depending on your qualifications, my advice ...would be to look much further East, like South East Asia, they are the only ones with money these days. Look up the overseas vacancy agencies is as good a place to start as any!!!
