Despite being a popular tourist destination, Montenegro does not have a large job market, as the growth prospect for fast and high earning is relatively low. Furthermore, due to the country's small size, the unemployment rate is 19.5%. As a result, it is safe to say that prospective employees will face increased market competition to find work. There are four types of jobs available in the job market.
1. Permanent job
2. Seasonal job
3. Temporary job and
4. Freelance employment
In terms of permanent jobs, the banking, healthcare, technology, and manufacturing industries are the most active.
Seasonal work is sought after by prospective employees in the hotel, restaurant, and tourism industries. Real estate and diving are also considered seasonal job opportunities.
There are few opportunities for temporary work. Short-term projects for the industrial and manufacturing sectors are included.
The freelancing market, on the other hand, is quite large, as there are many internet sites that offer freelancing opportunities, such as www.freelancehunt.com, www.freelansim.ru, www.fl.ru, www.24freelance.net, and www.freelancejob.ru.
Professionals are in high demand in city center areas, where tourists are most likely to visit. Montenegro's real estate market is rapidly developing as many people from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries and Russia visit for work. Aside from that, the following professions are in high demand:
1. Administrator
2. Manager
3. Hotel manager
4. School teacher
5. Doctor and nurse
6. Photographer
7. Cook
8. Waiter/waitress
9. Engineer
10. Carpenter and plumber
There are also positions available for lawyers, accountants, state officers, and attorneys. Montenegrins can find work through Thematic online job boards, social media pages, local newspapers, and recruitment agencies. Furthermore, word of mouth is a common way for locals to find work in the country. Prospective employees must have the following qualifications in order to land a great job in the city center:
- Sales skills
- Foreign languages skills
When there is so much talent available, it can be difficult to find the right people for your team.
