How formal is business dress for women? by duffydoodle
Thank you for the people who helped me on my earlier thread. I'm going to come see for myself later this year before I decide. If I want to visit advisors (or lawyers/advocates - not sure what they are called there), government agencies, or ...
hi christineb, Thanks for the weather site. It doesn't even get up to your nightly temperatures at high noon here! I have a little shopping to do. Air conditioning is good. Bare legs are good. I'm going to come visit for maybe a month and get ... Read More

christineb, Thank you! Oh, thank you. I don't think men get it (no offense intended) when it comes to fashion. I feel so much better about myself when I am dressed "right" for what I am doing. Thanks for the advice on backless shoes too - it ... Read More

Ricky, Thanks. I guess maybe women worry more about these things, but would a sleeveless dress, a jacket, and closed toe shoes work? Is there a Malta fashion blog? I need womanly advice :) Oh, and I didn't intentionally overstay my other visa. ... Read More

Is there age discrimination in job seeking? by duffydoodle
Hello, I am new here and have been lurking on the Malta blogs for about a year now. I have some independent income, but would like to work part time. Can you find a professional job if you are over 40 and female? I have university degrees in ...
Thanks Tim, I've already decided to come for a visit. Although in Alaska, we have a lot of the same disadvantages of living on an island. Durable and most perishable goods come in by ship or over the road through Canada. (we can buy local produce ... Read More

Eagle, Sorry for the misunderstanding about the firm. I have decided to visit some time this summer, which should answer a lot of questions. And if I only have to meet the income requirements, that helps a lot. Thank you for clarifying ... Read More

Ricky, Thank you for the advice. Also I learned a lot from the discussion between you and Eagle. It looks like I need to just jump in and come for a long visit - I have lots of airline miles. That's why I wondered about the idea of working for ... Read More

Eagle, Thank you. I had actually visited your website already in the process of doing research. I can meet the income requirements but the capital requirement would be a bit of a challenge without liquidating everything here. Plus I'd like the ... Read More

Hi Ricky, Well, I hope your GF finds a good job and the two of you live happily ever after. Our economy is wrecked too if that's any consolation. The cost of living is going up, up, up. I have an interview tomorrow, so need to get some sleep. ... Read More

Hello Ricky, I just realized it's 530AM and I haven't been to sleep yet, so will drag out my CV tomorrow - or later today, actually. I have the summer off so I can sleep late. I'm a perpetual student, so if somebody DID want to hire me, they ... Read More

Hi Ricky, Thank you for the welcome. I do live in Alaska and hold a US passport, so it looks like it would either be option (2) or find another EU country, then move? Malta is where I really want to be though. My biggest worry is the age ... Read More
