Employment Agencies in Malta (or How Not to Make Money from Blogging)

This is going to be less satisfying than some people hope for, and more interesting than others expect. Maybe.

Okay.  For my first year in Malta, I worked as a teacher in a wonderful language school, (no job agency involvement), of which more in a later edition.  However, if you are a foreigner in Malta and want to make some money, there is only really one game in town.  That game is the i-gaming game.  I had no experience whatsoever in this line of business, but sent my CV to various agencies in the hope that one of them would be able to sort me out with an interview or two.

So here is a list of employment agency sites for Malta:

recruitmentsolutionsmalta.com
pentasia.com/malta
maltajobs.com
jobinmalta.com
malta.xpatjobs.com
8am.com.mt
reed.co.uk/malta
people.com.mt
careerjet.com.mt
keepmeposted.com.mt
eujobs77.com/mt
maltajobsboard.com

I did not get a fantastic response.  I may have got an apologetic email from a couple, but generally the agencies seemed disinterested in my attempted career jump. Except for one.  And from this one agency, and despite my complete lack of experience in the industry, I received two invitations to interview, and from one of them, a job.
