Hello,

Finding work in the restaurant service industry is farily easy, so you shouldn't have a problem. Save enough money to keep you afloat for a couple months just in case you don't find work right away and to have some cushioning as far as your finances go.

Now one thing you need to be aware of is that mid-July is mid-Off Season. August and September being the slowest of Off-Season. Things pick up again in late October and are back in full swing by Dec-Jan. So job openings in restaurants will be fewer and visitors on the island so customers in restaurants fewer. A few restaurants actually close for 2 or 3 weeks in September. Things don't turn into a ghost town; restaurants, stores etc. do business its just less than during season. So definately keep this in mind when making your plans/budget.
